For Participants

BEIC participants will:

1. Develop and implement evidence-based teaching practices aligned with Vision and Change to improve outcomes for undergraduates at 2- and 4-year institutions.
2. Collaborate with fellow educators to build teaching materials and programs
3. Participate in professional development opportunities aimed at developing instructional and education research skills
4. Disseminate their products at biology education research conferences or in biology education journals

Who can be involved?

We are looking for collaborative teams of 2-year and 4-years educators. We encourage participation of educators from Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) and Minority Serving Institutions. Educators are primarily faculty but can also include graduate students, post-docs, and instructors. Teams consist of 3-6 educators from at least two neighboring institutions (at least one 2-year and one 4-year).

BEIC applications are currently closed. The application for the 2024 cohort will open in Winter 2024.
