Biosciences Industry Fellowship Project 19

he Biosciences Industry Fellowship Program is a month-long, observational, fellowship pro-
gram in which selected instructors reside in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. During their stay, they visit

TNC Biosciences industrial facilities, community colleges, university labs and research parks. Working

in pairs, the awardees typically write about their experiences and produce contextualized teaching modules
as grant products. The BIFP is open to interested instructors in good standing with their employers currently
teaching at the high school, community college or uni-
versity level. Travel expenses are paid and a competitive
stipend is available for those who qualify.
