The goal of this NSF RCN-UBE network incubator grant is to bring together experts in psychology, psychiatry, student services, and biology education to identify sources of anxiety in active-learning biology classrooms, design interventions to help lessen student anxiety, and to spur new research related to student anxiety in this unique context.
