Biotechnology for All High School Students Act

This bill would let the Director of the National Science Foundation give competitive grants to state and local education agencies, colleges, and eligible nonprofits to start or expand biotechnology education for high school students. Grant money could pay for teacher training, curricula and teaching materials, lab equipment, partnerships with colleges and businesses, and student credentials in biotechnology. The Director could give priority to applicants with a need for, or limited access to, biotechnology education resources. Within 180 days, the Director would have to set up a National Biotechnology Education Consortium of at least six members to advise on these programs, and it would end after five years.
