Community of Neighboring and National Entrepreneurial Centers and Trainees
Our goal is to establish a community of practice that invites entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, and students to share expectations, experiences, and best practices in the field of biosciences entrepreneurship.
This Community of Neighboring and National Entrepreneurial Centers and Trainees (CONNECT) network will assess participant needs, including professional development of undergraduate biology faculty and career goals of undergraduate biology students. Through incubator funding from NSF-Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE), this network will integrate teaching and research via novel interdisciplinary partnerships with biosciences entrepreneurs.
Join the NSF-funded CONNECT Network, a community of practice to share resources and experiences in biosciences entrepreneurship and undergraduate biology education. Learn more about how you can contribute below!
