REIL-Biology will host a day-long workshop on July 13 preceding the Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC) of the Genetics Society of America (GSA), July 13-17, in Orlando.  The workshop will be held at the Orlando World Center Marriott in the San Antonio Room from 8am-5:30pm.

At the workshop, participants will work with faculty who have experience in course-based research to:

• hear about the benefits of course-based research experiences for students and faculty
• discuss the components of a course-based research experience
• describe barriers to incorporating course-based research experiences in introductory biology at their institution
• learn about strategies for overcoming barriers to implementing course-based research experiences
• work in institutional teams to begin to develop research modules for their introductory biology courses
• discuss approaches to assessing course-based research experiences

Travel funds are available to help defray the costs of institutional teams attending the workshop and conference.
