0125668 Luzzi This award is to the University of Pennsylvania to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF 0179).PartnersThe partners in this effort are the University of Pennsylvania (Lead Institution), Drexel University, the Collegiate Consortium, HUBS (Hospitals, Universities, Businesses, Schools), MAGPI (Metropolitan Area GifaPop in Philadelphia for Internet2), Bucks County Community College, Delaware County CC, Montgomery County CC, the CC of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, Camden County CC in New Jersey, Delaware Technical CC in Delaware, Hartford CC in Maryland, SAIC through HUBS, Centocor, Cephalon, Sunthes, Life Sensors, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Ben Franklin Technology Partners.Proposed ActivitiesThis proposal presents a partnership or academic, non-profit and corporate partners in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland region to provide the infrastructure, curriculum development, teacher training and curriculum implementation for Associates Degree programs in nano- and nano-bio-technology. The proposal includes the building of an infrastructure that will leverage the power of high bandwidth communications for regional virtual classrooms and telexperimentation. The program also includes outreach to high schools in the region.Proposed InnovationThe proposal centers on the need for a technically skilled workforce, if the region is to achieve its full economic potential in the technology-rich pharmaceutical, life science and advanced chemical sectors. The companies in these technology sectors will need workers from PhDs to technicians to enable growth and economic well-being. The partners propose a coordinated effort in tech-based outreach for education and training, especially at the associates degree level. Approaches included are internet portal and collaboration groupware to support dynamic formation of research teams and virtual classrooms, distance learning, tele-experimentation with remote participation in experiments via near-real-time digital images of scientific instruments, high-bandwidth communication through Internet 2 for video-conferencing.Potential Economic ImpactPartnerships with universities, community colleges, the private sector, and regional government are needed to provide the workforce education/training from associate degree through PhD degrees will provide the workforce needed to attract and retain high-tech industry in pharmaceuticals, advanced chemical, and life sciences to the four-state region.Potential Societal ImpactCurrently a significantly lower percentage of the high school graduates in the region receive education beyond high school than for Silicon Valley. The region needs a highly-trained workforce to attract and retain industry for high paying jobs. The young people in the region now have to accept low-paying jobs or relocate. This integrated effort will provide the training and the jobs needed to change that.

0125668 Luzzi 该奖项授予宾夕法尼亚大学，用于支持下述活动 36 个月。 该提案是为了响应创新计划征集合作伙伴关系 (NSF 0179) 而提交的。合作伙伴此项工作的合作伙伴包括宾夕法尼亚大学（牵头机构）、德雷塞尔大学、大学联盟、HUBS（医院、大学、企业、学校） 、MAGPI（费城大都市区 GifaPop for Internet2）、巴克斯县社区学院、特拉华县 CC、蒙哥马利县CC、宾夕法尼亚州费城 CC、新泽西州卡姆登县 CC、特拉华州特拉华技术 CC、马里兰州哈特福德 CC、SAIC 通过 HUBS、Centocor、Cephalon、Sunthes、Life Sensors、宾夕法尼亚州联邦和 Ben Franklin Technology Partners。拟议的活动本提案提出了宾夕法尼亚州、新泽西州、特拉华州、马里兰州地区的学术、非营利和企业合作伙伴关系，为以下地区的学生提供基础设施、课程开发、教师培训和课程实施：纳米和纳米生物技术副学士学位课程。 该提案包括建设一个基础设施，利用高带宽通信的力量进行区域虚拟教室和远程实验。 该计划还包括向该地区的高中进行推广。 拟议的创新 该提案的重点是如果该地区要在技术丰富的制药、生命科学和先进化学领域充分发挥经济潜力，就需要技术熟练的劳动力。 这些技术领域的公司将需要从博士到技术人员的工人，以实现增长和经济福祉。 合作伙伴提议协调一致地开展基于技术的教育和培训推广，特别是在副学士学位级别。 包括的方法包括支持动态组建研究团队和虚拟教室的互联网门户和协作组件、远程学习、通过科学仪器的近实时数字图像远程参与实验的远程实验、通过互联网2的高带宽通信视频会议。潜在的经济影响需要与大学、社区学院、私营部门和地方政府建立伙伴关系，提供从副学士学位到博士学位的劳动力教育/培训，这将提供吸引和留住高科技所需的劳动力潜在的社会影响 目前，该地区接受高中以上教育的高中毕业生比例明显低于硅谷。 该地区需要训练有素的劳动力来吸引和留住高薪工作的行业。 该地区的年轻人现在不得不接受低薪工作或搬迁。 这项综合努力将提供改变这种状况所需的培训和工作岗位。
