This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $834,148 to Austin Community College District to develop and pilot innovative educational programs focused on nanopore sequencing technology. The project aims to create two undergraduate research experiences and two industry-certified micro-credentials in nanopore sequencing to better prepare students for biotechnology careers. Through the mini-course research experiences, students will engage in hands-on, student-driven research using industry-level nanopore sequencing instruments and bioinformatics tools. For the micro-credentials, the project will work with a business and industry leadership team to identify the specific nanopore sequencing skills most valued by employers, then provide workforce training and competency certification in those skills. The project will collect student, instructor, and industry feedback to refine the educational offerings before broader nationwide dissemination.
