Developers and researchers at Rutgers University, Boston University, Colorado State University, and the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP) are continuing research and development work on high school instructional materials that integrate biology, computing, and mathematics. The project goal is to develop and test a one-semester high school course. The course consists of some modules developed under a previous NSF grant as well as some new material. COMAP leads the effort to develop the instructional materials and the process involves mathematicians, biologists, computer scientists, teachers, and writers. The materials are pilot- and field-tested in a number of schools and revised after each test. Subject matter experts review the materials for accuracy and teachers and education professionals review them for their usability. Researchers at Colorado State University collect and analyze data on student learning and interest at all stages of the pilot- and field-testing. The intended deliverables include up to five new instructional modules and a coherent one-semester course suitable for the increasing state requirements for a fourth year of mathematics. The course is supported by a book in print and electronic format and includes teacher training support tools and activities to prepare teachers to present interdisciplinary bio-mathematics material.

罗格斯大学，波士顿大学，科罗拉多州立大学以及数学及其应用联盟（COMAP）的开发商和研究人员正在继续研究和发展生物学，计算和数学的高中教学材料。项目目标是开发和测试一个学期高中课程。 该课程由以前的NSF赠款以及一些新材料制定的一些模块组成。 COMAP领导着开发教学材料的努力，该过程涉及数学家，生物学家，计算机科学家，教师和作家。 这些材料在许多学校中进行了试点测试和现场测试，并在每次测试后进行了修订。 主题专家审查了准确性的材料，教师和教育专业人员为其可用性审查。科罗拉多州立大学的研究人员在试点和现场测试的各个阶段收集和分析有关学生学习和兴趣的数据。预期的可交付成果最多包括五个新的教学模块和一个连贯的一个学期课程，适合于增加数学第四年的州要求。 该课程得到印刷和电子格式的书的支持，包括教师培训支持工具和活动，以准备教师介绍跨学科的生物学材料。
