项目摘要

Project Summary Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) seeks to renew the Health Educational Research Opportunities for Teachers (HERO-T) program, a two -year research and professional development opportunity for science teachers, and expand the Health Educational Research Opportunity and Exploration for Students (HEROES) enrichment program for secondary students in the Richmond, Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Area. These programs, grounded in theory, are designed based upon a combination of data derived from current literature related to the impact of research experiences for teachers and literature on student engagement in science. The wealth of experience of the investigators, steering committee, and advisory board members will enable the successful implementation of this program. The goals of the HERO-T and HEROES programs are to 1. cultivate in teachers the skills needed to conduct cutting edge biomedical research and translate that research experience into curricula for their students and 2. increase student awareness of and exposure to research in the biomedical sciences and foster in them scientific investigation skills. These goals will be accomplished by: 1. Selecting three new secondary science teachers annually (15 teachers total), HERO-T fellows, to participate in a two year experience consisting of two eight week summer research experiences and a two year professional learning community (PLC) during the school year. 2. Providing teachers with research training, professional development, and coaching. 3. Engaging twenty secondary students annually in the HEROES Academy (up to 100 students total), a monthly enrichment program to build their awareness of careers in biomedicine/ biomedical research and cultivate their scientific investigation skills. 4. Selecting ten talented students annually (50 students total), HEROES scholars, to participate in the HEROES Externship, a one week summer research program, and the Center on Health Disparities Summer Research Symposium. In the first four years of the grant, 12 teachers were trained, 83% from high-need schools and 67% from underrepresented groups. The HERO-T fellows have developed more than 12 lesson plans from their research to be used in an average of 2 classes per fellow per year impacting over 150 students in the first year to now over 1,200 secondary students annually. More than $10,000 has been used to purchase laboratory supplies for the teachers’ classes thus amplifying the long lasting impact of their research experience. Thirty-nine students have participated in the HEROES program. Approximately 75% of the students have come from high need schools and 80% are from underrepresented groups. This grant request is for another five years of support.

项目概要弗吉尼亚联邦大学 (VCU) 寻求更新健康教育研究机会教师 (HERO-T) 计划，为期两年的科学研究和专业发展机会教师，并扩大学生的健康教育研究机会和探索（HEROES）弗吉尼亚州里士满都会统计区中学生的强化计划。以理论为基础的程序是根据当前文献中的数据组合而设计的与教师的研究经验和文献对学生参与科学的影响有关。调查人员、指导委员会和咨询委员会成员的丰富经验将使该计划的成功实施。 HERO-T 和 HEROES 计划的目标是 1. 培养教师开展教学活动所需的技能前沿的生物医学研究，并将研究经验转化为学生的课程；2. 提高学生对生物医学科学研究的认识和接触，并培养他们的科学素养这些目标将通过以下方式实现： 1. 每年选拔 3 名新的中学科学教师（总共 15 名教师），即 HERO-T 研究员，参加为期两年的体验，其中包括两次八周的夏季研究经历和学年期间为期两年的专业学习社区（PLC）。 2. 为教师提供研究培训、专业发展和辅导。 3. 每年招收 20 名中学生进入 HEROES 学院（总共最多 100 名学生），每月的强化计划，以培养他们对生物医学/生物医学研究职业的认识和培养他们的科学研究能力。 4.每年选拔10名优秀学生（共50名学生），英雄学者，参加 HEROES 实习、为期一周的夏季研究计划和健康差异中心夏季研究研讨会。在赠款的前四年，12 名教师接受了培训，其中 83% 来自高需求学校，67% 来自高需求学校 HERO-T 研究员根据他们的研究制定了超过 12 个课程计划。每年平均每个学员在 2 个班级中使用，第一年至今影响超过 150 名学生每年有超过 1,200 名中学生用于购买实验室用品。老师们从而放大了他们三十九名学生的研究经验的长期影响。大约 75% 的学生来自高需求群体。学校和 80% 来自代表性不足的群体。这项拨款请求是为了再提供五年的支持。
