The Community College Role in Economic Development: A Concept Model
No full textThis 28-page article, published by Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations, features a survey of the literature on the impact of community colleges and economic development and introduces a "conceptual model aimed at increasing the understanding of the role of community colleges in economic development and to inform future research." The paper begins by explaining the conceptual model, which demonstrates how certain community college activities lead to different economic development outcomes. Then, the literature review provides background for each activity and development outcome included in the model. The article consists of the following parts:IntroductionEconomic DevelopmentCommunity Colleges and Economic DevelopmentCommunity College Activites Related to Economic DevelopmentCommunity College Approaches to Economic Development Related ActivitiesConcluding ThoughtsReference
Guide to Logic Models
No full textThis 6-page guide, published by EvaluATE: Evaluation Resource Center for Advanced Technological Education, provides an "overview of logic model components to assist National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program grant seekers and grantees in developing logic models for their initiatives." The guide introduces logic models and goes over each section and component, including core components, components related to tangible resources used and generated, and components that acknowledge contexts and systems. Also discussed are potential limitations to logic models and tips for assessing the quality of a logic model

Advances in Tissue Engineering, Bioprinting, and Body-on-a-chip Technologies
No full textThis webinar, provided by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, focuses on developments in three areas of regenerative medicine: tissue engineering, bioprinting, and body-on-a-chip technologies. First, Tracy Criswell, associate professor at the Wake Forest School of Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), provides a brief introduction to tissue engineering and the field of regenerative medicine, along with the state of the field in May, 2023. Next, Sean Murphy, associate professor at WFIRM, discusses 3D bioprinting and its applications for airway tissue transplantation, going over the process of developing a 3D bioprinted trachea. Finally, Thomas Shupe, associate professor at WFIRM, discusses the development of microengineered organ tissue equivalents (OTE), which allow for the testing of drugs and toxins without using animal models or 2D cell cultures
2023 Advanced PCR Techniques Webinar Series (Part 1 of 2)
No full textIn this 2-part webinar series, provided by InnovATEBIO, experts in digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) applications discuss integrating PCR into research and classroom instruction.
