Do you teach high school-, community college-, or undergraduate-level science courses? NCBI is excited to host their first BioEd Summit on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, MD, from August 5-9, 2024. Leave the event with a lesson you can use in your classrooms/courses to prepare your students for real-world scientific research.

You will participate in interactive training workshops on NCBI resources and a panel discussion on employing data-driven, active learning exercises in science classes. Throughout the week, you will work with a team of educators in your discipline in a codeathon-style curricula-thon to create a curricular package (including learning objectives, course materials, and assessments) that you can use in your classroom/course.

Travel support from the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) may be available for you. Please see the application form for more details.

Deadline extended! Applications must be submitted by midnight May 12, 2024 ET and selected applicants will be notified by the end of May 2024. If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to reach out to workshops@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
