Advancing Rhode Island Science Education

Project ARISE is an NIH-funded professional development program for Rhode Island high school biology teachers.  This program is designed to engage teachers and students in inquiry-based approaches to learning about science and improve the understanding of the relevance of science to everyday life.  The goal of the program is to develop the tools and perspective that will enable high school teachers to integrate high–level concepts in molecular and genomic biology, bioinformatics, neuroscience and physiology into the high school classroom.

Funding for Project ARISE is provided by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) grant from the National Center for Research Resources, a component of the National Institutes of Health and by a Title II Partnership Award from the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education.
