Therefore, the authoring Committee suggested the creation of a Summer Institute during which life sciences faculty would work to improve their educational skills by integrating current scientific research with new pedagogical approaches to create courses that actively engage students in the ways that scientists think. One substantive result of this recommendation has been the development of the annual National Academies Summer Institute for Undergraduate Education in Biology.7 This unique Institute is designed to model the scientific teaching principles on which it is founded and draws on the expertise of both participants and presenters.

The National Academies recognizes the commitment of these participants by naming each as an "Education Fellow in the Life Sciences" for the year following their attendance at the Summer Institute and by notifying key academic leaders on their campuses about this honor. From its inception, the Summer Institute has been a research project.
