COVID-19 STEM Curriculum: PhRMA Resources

With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting communities across the world, the need for researchers and scientists to work toward finding a viable vaccine and treatment is a priority. While they focus on the task at hand, it is up to all of us to foster the next generation of professionals who will journey down the path of a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. 

Doing our part to help educate students and be a resource to teachers and parents who suddenly find themselves having dual roles with their children at home, this virtual resource is an extension of the STEM Talent Pipeline Program and serves to answer questions, address concerns and most of all, spark curiosity and interest in the areas of study that lead to new cures each and every day.
