DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Faith Forum on Genetics: An ELSI Educational Intervention for Religious Communities. This community education intervention is a collaborative initiative between Pacific University, the Pacific Institute for Ethics and Social Policy, and Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon. It is a pilot program with significant potential for becoming a national model for collaboration between religious communities, genetic scientists, and educational institutions. With the assistance of two nationally recognized experts in the field of genetics and religion, Audrey Chapman and Theodore Peters, 200 lay participants along with 20 leaders drawn from 10 nationally extended religious communities will address the ELSI questions within the context of religious self-understanding. The long-term objectives are as follows: 1. To measurably increase participant knowledge and understanding of genetic science and the ELSI question which it raises. 2. To measurably increase participant engagement in genetic public policy discourse. 3. To develop an integrated transportable program which will be disseminated through national adult education channels. The Faith Forum on Genetics program will accomplish these objectives through a linked series of retreats, community seminars, symposia, and a national conference for religious educators. Effective use of information and communication technology through faithforum.net and WebBoard. Inc. will provide the means for rapid dissemination of resources to participants and community seminar leaders and a means for efficient communication between the investigators, community seminar leaders, advisory board, and program participants. Through its highly inductive and interactive project design and its robust formative and summative evaluation strategy the Faith Forum on Genetics will promote informed public discourse within selected communities of faith, and make a country-wide impact through adult education programs and a national conference for ethics educators in religious institutions. The outcomes will include educational materials and an online learning environment (faithforum.net) which will be used nationally to develop similar programs. Second, the religious communities of Portland, Oregon will have achieved a much advanced understanding of genetic research and social policy, and will be actively engaged in the formation of new policy in the future.

描述（由申请人提供）：遗传学信仰论坛：针对宗教社区的 ELSI 教育干预。 这项社区教育干预措施是太平洋大学、太平洋道德与社会政策研究所和俄勒冈州基督教事工部之间的合作倡议。这是一个试点计划，具有成为宗教团体、遗传科学家和教育机构之间合作的国家模式的巨大潜力。在遗传学和宗教领域两位全国公认的专家奥黛丽·查普曼 (Audrey Chapman) 和西奥多·彼得斯 (Theodore Peters) 的协助下，200 名非专业参与者以及来自 10 个全国性宗教社区的 20 名领导人将在宗教自我理解的背景下解决 ELSI 问题。 长期目标如下： 1. 显着增加参与者对遗传科学及其提出的 ELSI 问题的知识和理解。 2. 显着提高参与者对遗传公共政策讨论的参与度。 3. 制定综合可转移方案，通过国家成人教育渠道传播。 遗传学信仰论坛计划将通过一系列相关的静修会、社区研讨会、座谈会和全国宗教教育者会议来实现这些目标。通过faithforum.net 和WebBoard 有效利用信息和通信技术。 Inc. 将提供向参与者和社区研讨会领导者快速传播资源的方法，以及在研究者、社区研讨会领导者、顾问委员会和项目参与者之间进行有效沟通的方法。通过其高度归纳和互动的项目设计以及强大的形成性和总结性评估策略，遗传学信仰论坛将在选定的信仰社区内促进知情的公共讨论，并通过成人教育计划和全国伦理教育者会议产生全国性的影响在宗教机构中。 成果将包括教育材料和在线学习环境（faithforum.net），该环境将在全国范围内用于开发类似的项目。其次，俄勒冈州波特兰市的宗教团体将对基因研究和社会政策取得更深入的了解，并将积极参与未来新政策的制定。
