Are you interested in learning more about the ways that your project can leverage BioQUEST and QUBES resources? Apply now to join us for the Spring 2022 Hosting a Project with BioQUEST/QUBES Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN).

Using BioQUEST and QUBES resources to support your STEM Ed reform project is pretty straightforward but there is a learning curve. If you already have a group on QUBES or you are considering starting one please join us for guided experience through the basics of planning, implementing, and sustaining a project community. By the end of this FMN you will have your group set up, understand the basics of how to use a QUBES group to support your project work, and build a vibrant online community. Participants will meet online biweekly to collaborate with and support each other in the process of setting up a functional project space. 

Applications are due January 7, 2022.

Additional information about the application process, including the small set of questions you will be asked to address can be viewed on the application page. 

Description: This is an opportunity to work directly with with BioQUEST/QUBES staff to launch your online project space. Over the course of the semester we will work through a series of exercises and explore different examples of how you can create an easy to manage, collaborative community to pursue you STEM ed reform project. 

Dates & Location: The virtual kick-off will be held in mid-January 2022, (date and time TBD). The FMN will continue online through the semester.
