Project Summary/Abstract This innovative project will replicate the successful Health Sciences & Technology Academy from West Virginia, with important adaptations for our purposes, in rural Alabama (AL). This adaption will be called Health Sciences & Technology Academy-Alabama (HSTA-AL). The long-term goal of this project is to build a more diverse nursing, nurse faculty, nurse scientist and other biomedical professions workforce from among rural, underserved, primarily African American, economically disadvantaged high school students in AL who will become the first in their families to graduate from college. This goal will be accomplished by implementing the HSTA-AL program to provide professional development to teachers designed to help teachers build science content and pedagogical skills. Teachers will then guide students toward STEM fields by helping them learn to conduct citizen science. These teachers can also transfer their learned skills for use in teaching other high school students. To teach research skills to teachers and students, we will focus on conditions including obesity and related cardiovascular conditions, risk behaviors, and opioid use that disproportionately affect underserved AL communities. It is anticipated that through HSTA-AL activities, health literacy will be built among the students and community members in these rural counties. The specific aims for this project are to 1. Establish community led leadership teams comprised of 100% community members in each rural county partner, and a joint leadership team for the state comprised of at least 51% community members to promote community ownership of the HSTA-AL program. 2. Provide annual professional development for 5 teachers and 5 preservice teachers per year across targeted communities for the purpose of promoting science and research skills for HSTA-AL and other students to increase the pipeline of high school graduates from rural areas into university STEM education, some of whom will choose nursing. 3. Provide summer camps annually for 50 students to promote interest and skills needed for engagement in citizen science addressing issues related to health disparities in rural AL and to promote exposure to the university environment, near-peer mentors, STEM education, nurses, nursing education opportunities, advanced nursing degrees, nursing science, and other biomedical professions. 4. Provide a club experience led by teachers for 95 high school students across 5 years for the purpose of exposing students to STEM fields in general, nursing, and nursing science by engaging students in community-based participatory research /citizen science addressing issues related to health disparities in their communities. 5. Compare the outcomes of HSTA-AL to HSTA for psychometric measures known to predict workforce development in biomedical fields to determine if replication of the HSTA program in a rural, primarily African American, economically disadvantaged population is feasible and effective. If HSTA-AL achieves similar outcomes to HSTA in West Virginia, we plan to expand this program across AL and seek funding to support HSTA-AL students’ college and graduate school education.

项目概要/摘要 这个创新项目将复制西方健康科学技术学院的成功经验 弗吉尼亚州，为了我们的目的，在阿拉巴马州（AL）农村地区进行了重要的调整，这种调整将被称为“健康”。 阿拉巴马州科学技术学院 (HSTA-AL) 该项目的长期目标是建立一个更加强大的机构。 来自农村、 阿拉巴马州服务不足、主要是非裔美国人、经济上处于不利地位的高中生，他们将 成为他们家庭中第一个大学毕业的人，这一目标将通过实施 HSTA-AL 计划为教师提供专业发展，旨在帮助教师建立科学 然后，教师将帮助学生学习 STEM 领域，从而引导他们进入 STEM 领域。 这些教师还可以将他们学到的技能用于教学其他高等教育。 为了向教师和学生教授研究技能，我们将重点关注以下条件： 肥胖和相关的心血管疾病、危险行为和阿片类药物的使用会造成不成比例的影响 预计通过 HSTA-AL 活动，将提高服务不足的 AL 社区的健康素养。 该项目的具体目标是： 1. 各农村县建立由100%社区成员组成的社区领导领导小组 合作伙伴，以及由至少 51% 社区成员组成的州联合领导团队，以促进 HSTA-AL 计划的社区所有权 2. 为 5 名教师提供年度专业发展。 每年在目标社区配备 5 名职前教师，以促进科学和 为 HSTA-AL 和其他学生提供研究技能，以增加农村高中毕业生的输送渠道 3. 每年提供夏令营。 为 50 名学生提供参与公民科学解决问题所需的兴趣和技能 与阿拉巴马州农村地区的健康差异相关，并促进学生接触大学环境、接近同龄人 导师、STEM 教育、护士、护理教育机会、高级护理学位、护理 4. 为95所高中提供由教师主导的俱乐部体验。 跨 5 年的学生，旨在让学生接触普通、护理和护理等 STEM 领域 通过让学生参与基于社区的参与性研究/公民科学解决问题来促进科学 5. 比较 HSTA-AL 与 HSTA 的结果。 已知可预测生物医学领域劳动力发展以确定是否可复制的心理测量措施 HSTA 计划在农村（主要是非裔美国人）经济弱势群体中的实施是可行的 如果 HSTA-AL 取得与西弗吉尼亚州 HSTA 类似的成果，我们计划扩大该计划。 整个 AL 并寻求资金支持 HSTA-AL 学生的大学和研究生教育。
