Community of Neighboring and National Entrepreneurial Centers and Trainees
Our goal is to build a community where entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, and students share expectations, experiences, and best practices in biosciences entrepreneurship.
Our mission…
Our mission is to foster a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, and students dedicated to advancing biosciences entrepreneurship.
Through shared expectations, experiences, and best practices, we aim to bridge the gap between teaching and research by creating novel interdisciplinary partnerships. Supported by NSF-Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE), the CONNECT Network focuses on assessing and meeting participant needs, including the professional development of undergraduate biology faculty and the career aspirations of students. Together, we are building a collaborative platform that integrates research, education, and entrepreneurship to shape the future of the biosciences.
