Biology REU Leadership Council
2013 – 15 Strategic Priorities
• Maintain and expand the Travel Scholarship program. • Complete development of the Ethics Training
Modules. Promote and monitor use in Bio REU programs.
• Establish a stable platform for the Bio REU common
assessment tool that will provide a secure environment for the data that is collected.
• Develop a common tracking tool for Bio REU PIs.
Link the data collected with the common assessment tool to generate a more comprehensive profile of program outcomes.
• Assess use of the newly established Just-in-Time
Review resource for students. • Plan a Bio REU PI meeting for spring 2014.
