Community College instructors with an interest in the commercial applications of Bioscience will find much to admire in the Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project (BIFP). This National Science Foundation-sponsored professional development opportunity provides fellowships for ten high-impact instructors from anywhere in the country to come to North Carolina for a month of training in June 2015. During that time, BIFP fellows will engage in boot camps at three community colleges around the state, in which they will gain hands-on lab experience. They will also shadow workers in twelve different industrial/university hosting facilities. For more information, interested instructors may click here for a six minute video overview of the program. Applications can be found here.
