Origins of concept-driven teaching

The concept-driven teaching strategies in biochemistry and molecular biology project was conceived by a group of experienced and early-career ASBMB educators. Their goal was to design, create and develop course materials and assessment tools to teach the core concepts in BMB effectively and consistently. The resources and related materials available on this webpage were developed from 2010 to 2016 with the support of the National Science Foundation grant #0957205.

Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
