Description
The
RCN-UBE program seeks to improve undergraduate biology in different areas by
leveraging the power of a collaborative network. The theme or focus of an
RCN-UBE proposal can be on any topic likely to advance the goal of enhancing
undergraduate biology education. Collectively, the program has contributed to
developing and disseminating educational research resources and modules, to
forging of new collaborations, and to sharing of best practices and ideas for
scalability and sustainability of activities. These efforts have involved a
large cadre of faculty, students, and other stakeholders. Proposed networking
activities directed to the RCN-UBE program should focus on a theme to give
coherence to the collaboration. In accord with other RCNs, the RCN-UBE provides
opportunities to foster new collaborations (including international
partnerships), to address interdisciplinary topics, to explore innovative ideas
for implementing novel networking strategies, to explore collaborative
technologies, and to develop community standards. RCN-UBE awards do not support
existing networks or the activities of established collaborations. RCN awards
do not support primary research.
