Ellis Bell, BIO Celeste Carter, EHR Mary Chamberlin, BIO James Collins, BIO LaJoyce Debro, BIO Penelope Firth, BIO Linnea Fletcher, EHR Catherine Fry, EHR Elizabeth Gaige, BIO Brian Gates, EHR Richard Inouye, BIO Gera Jochum, BIO Liz Lawrence, BIO Emily Leichtman, BIO Dan Litynski, EHR Wesley Lumpkin, EHR Rick McCourt, BIO Al Savitzky, BIO Judy Skog, BIO Linda Slakey, EHR Jessica Slater, EHR Dan Udovic, EHR Terry Woodin, EHR Kasey Yturralde, BIO NSF BIO/EHR Working Group

Strategy developed by BIO-EHR Working Group: 1.Conversations – listen for shared vision and the changes needed to achieve it 2.Big Conference – crystallize initiative and partnerships 3.Report – articulate the vision, synthesize previous efforts; recommend changes needed & roles; address sustainability 4.Implementation – make investments; implement commitments; improve communication; leverage feedback loops Approved by a joint meeting of the BIO Advisory Committee and the EHR Advisory Committee in November 2006

NSF supported regional conversations during – AAAS facilitation: 211 participants from… community colleges, PUIs, MSIs, major R1 universities, museums, science centers, education organizations, other federal agencies, National Academies, field stations, professional societies… 2008 San Francisco Denver Chicago Boston Atlanta Washington Image created with Google Maps

We listened to other inputs during : AIBS Biology Education Summit (May 2008) HHMI Invitational Summit on Undergraduate Biology: The Role of Disciplinary Societies (Nov 2008) NSF Advisory Committee meetings Biological Sciences Education & Human Resources Environmental Research & Education NRC reports National Science Board reports NSF merit review panel meetings Professional society meetings

231 student participants from 13 institutions. Convened by participants from the regional conversations. Some students are HERE! Mini-conversations during 2009 with undergraduate majors and non-majors to gauge importance of issues to students, discuss potential approaches: 2008 Image created with Google Maps MAJOR Biology – 43% Other STEM – 31% Humanities – 15% Arts – 3% Undecided – 9%
