The NanoBio Science Partnership is led by Tuskegee University and includes partner universities (Auburn University, Alabama State University, Tuskegee University, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and The University of Alabama); community colleges (Central Alabama Community College, Enterprise State Community College, Shelton State Community College, Wallace State Community College, Hanceville, and Wallace State Community College, Selma) and school districts (Barbour, Bullock, Dallas, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Perry and Selma). The partnership also includes supporting partners from the Alabama Math Science and Technology Initiative (AMSTI), the McWane Science Center, Cornell and Wisconsin Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers, the Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering (SECME), and local industry. The NanoBio Science Partnership addresses critical needs in middle grade (6th-8th) science education in the Black Belt region, an area that has long been characterized as socioeconomically and educationally disadvantaged. The partnership provides professional development to 6th to 8th grade science teachers in order to shift their instruction from conventional teaching strategies to the use of an inquiry-centered approach in conjunction with the infusion of NanoBio science principles and 3-D simulations of concepts from their science curricula. Curriculum modules that support inquiry are being developed for use by the teachers and are tied to the middle grade science curricular objectives. The project also is recruiting and training prospective science teachers through the partnering universities' teacher preparation programs to provide them with an appropriately challenging and contemporary science curricula and teacher education foundation. Data on student and teacher performance are collected and analyzed through quantitative and qualitative methods. Ultimately, the project will directly impact approximately 80 teachers and 10,000 students over five years. The partnership seeks to make a lasting positive influence on education in the Black Belt region and its economy. Findings in connection with research questions being studied in the project and in regards to the overall project evaluation are being synthesized in order to be disseminated broadly.

Nanobio Science合作伙伴关系由Tuskegee University领导，包括合伙大学（奥本大学，阿拉巴马州立大学，塔斯基吉大学，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学和阿拉巴马大学）；社区学院（中央阿拉巴马州社区学院，企业州社区学院，谢尔顿州立社区学院，华莱士州立社区学院，汉斯维尔和华莱士州立社区学院，塞尔玛）和学区（Barbour，Bullock，Bullock，Dallas，Lee，Lee，Lowndes，Macon，Macon，Montgomery，Perry，Perry和Selma）。 该合作伙伴关系还包括支持阿拉巴马州数学科学技术计划（AMSTI），麦克瓦恩科学中心，康奈尔和威斯康星州材料研究科学与工程中心，东南工程少数民族（SECME）（SECME）和本地工业的合作伙伴。 Nanobio科学伙伴关系解决了黑带地区中级科学教育的关键需求，该地区长期以来一直被认为是社会经济和教育上的处境不利的领域。 该合作伙伴关系为6至8年级的科学教师提供了专业发展，以将其教学从传统的教学策略转移到以探究为中心的方法以及与纳米比奥科学原则的注入和3-D仿真中的使用中，并从其科学课程中进行了3-D模拟。 支持询问的课程模块正在开发供教师使用，并与中级科学课程目标相关。 该项目还通过合作大学的教师准备计划招募和培训前瞻性科学教师，以为他们提供适当挑战和当代科学课程和教师教育基金会。 通过定量和定性方法收集和分析了有关学生和教师表现的数据。 最终，该项目将在五年内直接影响约80名教师和10,000名学生。 该伙伴关系试图对黑带地区及其经济的教育产生持久的积极影响。 与项目和整体项目评估中研究的研究问题有关的结果正在合成，以便广泛传播。
