项目摘要

Project Summary / Abstract Children growing up in rural and medically underserved communities face unique challenges, and may not always have easy access to educational opportunities that provide experiences with cultivating biomedical knowledge and interest in scientific careers. To address this issue, we are proposing to expand upon an inquiry-based science education program called the Clean Air and Healthy Homes Program (CAHHP). Through four Aims, we will leverage our network of 50 teachers in 31 schools located in rural and American Indian / Alaska Native communities throughout Montana, Idaho, and Alaska. With an evaluation plan consisting of a mixed method design, we will test the overall hypothesis that CAHHP, with a new focus on PM2.5, cardiovascular and population health, can be successfully utilized in rural, underserved areas to increase middle/high students' interest in careers in basic and clinical medical research. We will test this hypothesis with the following Aims: Aim 1) Citizen Science: Develop authentic research experiences using novel PM2.5 and heart rate monitors with a new focus on cardiovascular/population health; Aim 2) Science communication: Build student skills, confidence and interest in science by providing opportunities for students to translate their research findings to different audiences; Aim 3) Student mentoring: Provide engagement and mentoring activities that support student research and expose students to careers in basic and clinical medical research; and Aim 4) Teacher Professional Development: Provide multiple learning opportunities for teachers and pre- service teachers in order to facilitate their understanding of biomedical concepts and their successful implementation of the CAHHP model with students. With SEPA funding, we intend to provide educational opportunities for over 5,000 students from 31 schools located within rural and underserved areas of the northern Rocky Mountains and Alaska.

项目概要/摘要在农村和医疗服务不足的社区长大的儿童面临着独特的挑战，并且可能并不总是能够轻松获得提供培养经验的教育机会生物医学知识和对科学职业的兴趣。为了解决这个问题，我们建议扩展名为“清洁空气和健康家庭”的基于探究的科学教育计划计划（CAHHP）。通过四个目标，我们将利用由 31 所学校的 50 名教师组成的网络位于蒙大拿州、爱达荷州和美国各地的农村和美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民社区阿拉斯加州。通过由混合方法设计组成的评估计划，我们将检验总体假设 CAHHP 能够成功地关注 PM2.5、心血管和人口健康在农村、服务欠缺地区使用，以提高中/高中学生对基础和职业生涯的兴趣临床医学研究。我们将通过以下目标来检验这一假设：目标 1) 公民科学：使用新型 PM2.5 和心率监测器开发真实的研究经验，新的重点是心血管/人口健康；目标 2) 科学传播：培养学生技能、信心和通过为学生提供将其研究成果转化为不同形式的机会来培养对科学的兴趣观众；目标 3) 学生辅导：提供支持的参与和辅导活动学生研究并使学生接触基础和临床医学研究的职业；和目标 4) 教师专业发展：为教师和预科生提供多种学习机会服务教师，以促进他们对生物医学概念的理解及其成功与学生一起实施 CAHHP 模型。借助 SEPA 的资助，我们打算提供为来自农村和服务欠缺地区 31 所学校的 5,000 多名学生提供教育机会落基山脉北部和阿拉斯加地区。
