We describe here the development and implementation ofan interdisciplinary bioinformatics course focused on preparing the future scientific workforce.Central to the course is a project-centric teaching paradigm to engage students in applying theconcepts of cyberinfrastructure through the integration of the disciplines of biology, computerscience, mathematics, and statistics in the field of bioinformatics. In this project, Bluefield StateCollege (BSC) professors and their students were introduced to the concepts ofcyberinfrastructure
