Biotechnology for All High School Students Act

This bill, titled the "Biotechnology for All High School Students Act," aims to expand biotechnology education for secondary school students across the United States. It authorizes a competitive grant program for eligible entities, such as schools, colleges, and non-profit organizations, to support new and existing biotechnology education initiatives. Funds from these grants can be used for purposes like professional development for teachers, developing curricula, acquiring laboratory equipment, establishing partnerships, and creating transferable biotechnology credentials for students. The bill also establishes a National Biotechnology Education Consortium to provide support and recommendations for these programs, promoting coordination and resource sharing among various stakeholders.
