DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Context: Minority under-representation in medical education, practice, and research remains a significant problem nationwide. Even though American students in general perform more poorly in science and math than do students of many other countries, the average science proficiency among black and Hispanic children is far below that of American white children. With American's changing demographics, poor and minority children must be provided with access and better opportunities to acquire strong science, research, and math backgrounds. Design: This is a five year educational program. The proposed program will support a new curriculum design that will utilize major clinical diseases affecting minority populations to interest and teach minority students about research and health careers. Each year of the grant will have one clinical focus that is important to the health care of this country: obesity, cancer prevention, asthma, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. Each fall the Curriculum Committee will develop the curriculum after a comprehensive needs assessment and evaluation of the previous year curriculum. The goal will be to teach anatomy, pathophysiology, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, pharmacology and research applications using these disease models to gain and hold the student's interest. Additionally, there will be programmatic offerings for middle and high school teachers and parents as they play a very significant role in the educational future of American children. Specific Aims: (1) To implement age-appropriate programs for urban underrepresented minority students (and other students with a demonstrated need) in grades 8-12 that strengthens: Domain-specific knowledge in health science, research and mathematics; domain-independent competencies necessary for academic and workplace success; and skills in higher order critical thinking and problem solving, (2) To promote awareness of and interest in careers in biological science, research and health professions among 8th and 12th graders from the greater Newark area, (3) To expand, for pre-college science teachers, the base of health-related knowledge, the practice of performance-based assessments, and the use of innovated teaching modalities, (4) To enhance parent's and involvement in their children's education by offering seminars/workshops that teach skills that will support their child's progress, and (5) To evaluate the effectiveness of the program in reaching its objectives by using a variety of assessment strategies. Settings: UMD-New Jersey Medical School and St. James Preparatory School in Newark, NJ. Participants: One hundred twenty five students will be recruited during the first year of the program. Middle and high school teachers will be recruited in years one through four of the program. Parents and/or legal guardians of the children who participate in the program.

描述（由申请人提供）： 背景：少数人在医学教育，实践和研究方面的代表性不足仍然是一个重大问题。尽管美国学生在科学和数学方面的表现要比其他许多国家的学生表现较差，但黑人和西班牙裔儿童的平均科学水平远低于美国白人儿童。随着美国人不断变化的人口统计，必须为贫困和少数族裔儿童提供获得强大科学，研究和数学背景的更好机会。设计：这是一个五年的教育计划。拟议的计划将支持一种新的课程设计，该课程将利用影响少数群体的主要临床疾病来兴趣并向少数民族学生提供有关研究和医疗职业的知识。赠款的每一年都会有一个对这个国家的医疗保健很重要的临床重点：肥胖，预防癌症，哮喘，高血压和冠心病。每年秋天，课程委员会将在对上一年课程的全面需求评估和评估后，将开发课程。目的是使用这些疾病模型教授解剖学，病理生理学，流行病学，行为，药理学和研究应用，以获得并保持学生的兴趣。此外，在美国儿童的教育未来中起着非常重要的作用，将为中学和高中教师和父母提供程序化产品。具体目的：（1）在8 - 2年级中为城市代表性不足的少数族裔学生（以及其他有必要的学生）实施适合年龄的计划，以增强：健康科学，研究和数学方面的特定领域知识；学术和工作场所成功所必需的独立能力； （2）在大纽瓦克地区的八年级和12年级的生物学科学，研究和健康职业中提高对职业，研究和健康职业的认识和兴趣的技能和兴趣，（3）扩展，以促进前大学科学教师，健康相关的知识基础，基于绩效的评估，以及对儿童的实践，以及在其上的教学方式，以促进其创新的教学方式（4），以增强（4）的教学（4）。教授将支持孩子进步的技能的研讨会/讲习班，（5）通过使用各种评估策略来评估该计划在实现其目标方面的有效性。设置：新泽西州纽瓦克市的UMD新泽西医学院和圣詹姆斯准备学校。参与者：计划的第一年将招募一百二十5名学生。中学和高中教师将在该计划的第一到四年中招募。参加该计划的孩子的父母和/或法定监护人。
