Eighteen fellowships
are available to attend the eighth annual intensive Summer Fellows Forum.
Each Bio-Link region will select three Fellows from the following categories:
a community or technical college biotechnology instructor, a community or
technical college math or science instructor, and a high school teacher.
First consideration will be given to nominees who have not yet attended a
Bio-Link Summer Fellows Forum. However, consideration will be given to past
Fellows who can document how this conference will provide necessary and
unique value to their students, region and themselves.
At the forum, participants will learn new skills and techniques,
examine and test exemplary curriculum models and course material, engage in
dialogue about ethical, legal, and social issues in biotechnology and learn
how to disseminate this information within their own regions. Fellows are
expected to implement new strategies into their own programs, to lead
regional staff development activities, and provide prompt response to
follow-up surveys.
The Bio-Link fellowship includes reasonable travel costs ($300
maximum), single or double occupancy accommodations and designated meals. Due
to rising accommodation and meal costs any lodging charges associated with
"no shows", late arrivals, early departures or unattended meals
will become the responsibility of the Fellow and billed to the Fellow at the
conclusion of the Forum.
The Regional Directors will nominate the Fellows. Deadline for
application to the Regional Directors was April 21, 2006. All Fellows have been selected at this time.
