项目摘要

Abstract: Education/Outreach Core The primary goals of the Education and Outreach Core are to promote a better understanding of issues concerning reproductive health and infertility in low income, underserved communities and by middle school and high school students, as well as by adults. To develop a strong relationship with the community we will work with an advocate for community health in African American and other underserved groups to organize community meetings in health clinics in underserved areas of Pittsburgh. The P50 scientists will make presentations and answer questions in these community meetings. This core will also make use of a unique resource at the University of Pittsburgh, Pitt Science Outreach (www.pittscienceoutreach.com), that works with faculty across the university to develop novel science lectures and laboratories to translate an understanding of the research happening at the university into engaging learning experiences for the public. We will develop 3 new laboratory experiences to teach about male fertility and infertility treatment. These labs will be tested and optimized in Pittsburgh schools. We will also develop teacher workshops to facilitate the transfer of these laboratory activities to schools throughout Pittsburgh, Ithaca, New York, St. Louis. In each location we will train post-docs, graduate students and undergraduate students working with the P50 scientists to facilitate these labs when they are given in local classrooms in each community. We will make the new science activities available to all NCHD NCTRI investigators, as well as publish these protocols in education journals to maximize their availability. The aims of this Core are: (1) to hold community meetings in each of three health clinics in underserved communities in Pittsburgh to provide information about the causes and treatments of male infertility, (2) to develop three new hands-on science activities that teach about male reproductive biology and the genetic causes of infertility including a testis histology lab, a mock male fertility work-up lab, and a DNA isolation, sequencing and finger-printing lab, as well as a new lecture on the effects of environmental exposures on the epigenome and potential consequences for fertility and offspring, (3) develop a Teacher's Workshop curriculum to educate middle and high school teachers about male reproductive biology and the genetic causes of infertility and to provide them with adequate background to run these activities in their classrooms in Pittsburgh, Ithaca, New York and St. Louis, and (4) to deliver labs to reach an average of 1,000 students/year and an average of 150 adults/year in Pittsburgh in collaboration with Pitt Science Outreach, and facilitate delivery of labs to students in Pittsburgh, Ithaca, New York and St. Louis through teacher training with a goal of reaching an additional 400 students/year in underserved communities in all regions associated with this P50.

摘要：教育/外展核心教育和外展核心的主要目标是促进对问题的更好理解关于低收入、服务不足的社区和中学的生殖健康和不孕症和高中生以及成年人。为了与社区建立牢固的关系，我们将与非洲裔美国人和其他服务不足群体的社区健康倡导者合作，组织在匹兹堡服务欠缺地区的卫生诊所举行社区会议。 P50科学家将制造在这些社区会议上进行演示并回答问题。该核心还将利用独特的匹兹堡大学的资源，Pitt Science Outreach (www.pittscienceoutreach.com)，与全校教师开发新颖的科学讲座和实验室，以转化对科学的理解大学开展的旨在为公众提供学习体验的研究。我们将开发3 新的实验室经验教授男性生育力和不育症治疗。这些实验室将进行测试并在匹兹堡学校进行了优化。我们还将举办教师讲习班，以促进这些知识的转移匹兹堡、伊萨卡、纽约、圣路易斯各地学校的实验室活动。我们将在每个地点进行培训博士后、研究生和本科生与 P50 科学家合作以促进这些工作在每个社区的当地教室进行实验时。我们将开展新的科学活动可供所有 NCHD NCTRI 研究人员使用，并在教育期刊上发布这些协议最大限度地提高他们的可用性。该核心的目标是：(1) 在三个卫生部门分别举行社区会议匹兹堡服务欠缺社区的诊所提供有关病因和治疗的信息男性不育，(2) 开展三项新的实践科学活动，教授男性生殖生物学以及不孕症的遗传原因，包括睾丸组织学实验室、模拟男性生育力检查实验室和 DNA 分离、测序和指纹实验室，以及关于环境影响的新讲座对表观基因组的暴露以及对生育力和后代的潜在影响，(3) 制定教师的为中学和高中教师提供有关男性生殖生物学和男性生殖生物学的讲习班课程不孕不育的遗传原因，并为他们提供足够的背景来开展这些活动匹兹堡、伊萨卡、纽约和圣路易斯的教室，以及 (4) 提供平均 1,000 个实验室与匹兹堡科学外展合作，匹兹堡每年学生和平均 150 名成年人，以及通过教师培训，促进向匹兹堡、伊萨卡、纽约和圣路易斯的学生提供实验室目标是每年在所有与相关地区服务不足的社区增加 400 名学生这个P50。
