Biotechnician Training and Undergraduate Research Initiative

In May 2012, Massasoit Community College received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grant in support of its project, Pipelines and Pipets: The Massasoit Biotechnician Training and Undergraduate Research Initiative. The Pipelines project establishes a new Biotechnology degree option and a new Biotechnology certificate that directly respond to Life Science, Allied Health and Biotechnology industry needs for more highly skilled, entry-level laboratory technicians. The project builds on evidence from multiple studies that early undergraduate research improves retention and academic success in STEM disciplines and workforce competitiveness, and will result in new inquiry-based academic programs as well as an on-campus research community that will provide more intensive experiences and build practical skills.
