National Approach
 Bioscience Harmonized Skill Standards(Core, Med.Dev.,Labs, BMFG)
 Industry Advisory Committee’s input on credentials & program
development
 Remove barriers to achieving training(flexible labs, simulations &
gaming programs)
 Increased capacity new programs credit & short non-credit programs
for technical operators
 Seamless articulations from 2 year schools to 4 year schools = 2+2
and back to 2 year from 4 year schools and beyond for hard skills
training
 Internships (includes a Capstone experience)
.
"BIFP has now given me the tools to share biosciences with my
students. I can now answer, with confidence, the question ‘why
do I need to know this?’. I am excited to share this experience
and the new applications with both my students and colleagues."
Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project 2014-2015
Mission:
The Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project de-mystifies the bioscience industry
by developing and implementing an innovative professional development model
that utilizes multi-institutional partnerships to enable high-impact instructors to
further understand industry principles and prepare them to guide their students
toward careers in today’s bioscience workforce.
Partners : Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology
Enterprise (BRITE) at North Carolina Central University, the BioNetwork’s Pharmaceutical and Analytical Training Lab and
Capstone Center, The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at UNCG, the David H. Murdock Research Institute
(DHMRI), Commercialization at Wake Forest Innovation, Biogen Idec, Targacept, Patheon (formerly, Banner Pharma), TransTech
Pharma, and Tengion.
