N.C. Biotech Center largesse falls in Triad, but mostly in Forsyth
The N.C. Biotech Center gave $25,000 to the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce to create a "Biotechnology Academy" with UNCG, N.C. A&T, and GTCC. Perhaps I'm cynical but I'm unclear who will attend this and what sort of degree they will receive -- and how useful it will be. Something to follow up on.
Grant number two, $75,776, goes to Forsyth Tech to track student progress in biotechnology training programs. Why does Forsyth get all the goods?
Case in point. Salem College in Winston-Salem will recieve $36,861 to help place students win internships in biotech companies.
