This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and deliver virtual workshops and coding exercises to train biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB) faculty on teaching computational skills to their students. The $318,485 award to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will fund the creation of freely accessible workshop materials and coding exercises on platforms like GitHub and YouTube. This project seeks to address the need for BMB students to develop computational literacy to participate in fields like bioinformatics, computational biology, protein design, and drug design that rely on computational skills. The award will support the development and delivery of three types of virtual workshops - introductory, learning to code, and teaching with code - to equip BMB faculty with the necessary tools and training to incorporate computational instruction into their curricula. The project runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028.
