Eighteen conference fellowships are available to attend the 12th annual weeklong intensive
Summer Fellows Forum. The Bio-Link National Center will select individuals geographically to
receive the fellowship 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 applicants who have not yet attended a Bio-
Link Summer Fellows Forum or received the fellowship. However, consideration will be given
to past Fellows who can demonstrate 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 (Application below) includes single occupancy accommodations (or
commuter if local) 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. It is the Fellows responsibility to fund all travel costs (including parking and shuttle
fees) to and from the Forum.
Deadline for application to the National Center is Friday, March 26th, 2010. Once the
fellowships have been awarded, Fellows will be notified and emailed the “Fellowship
Registration Form” with further registration instructions and information.
