DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long term objective of this cooperative effort among Purdue University, public schools in Indiana, and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, is to develop, evaluate and disseminate educational programs for K-12 students, parents, teachers, and the public about the science involved in keeping people healthy. Concepts will be exemplified by emphasizing health issues that affect both people and animals in Indiana and the U.S., including obesity prevention, cancer prevention, and asthma. This SEPA will take a systems approach in which fitness programs, research programs using animal models, K-12 outreach programs, professional development workshops for teachers, and recruiting efforts will be networked to form an innovative educational model that fills current gaps in health science education, excites and recruits schoolchildren to careers in health science research, and leads to a healthier citizenry. This systems approach will reach a broad audience, including underrepresented populations, and allow us to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of our educational and recruitment programs on students from the third grade through college graduation, and eventual career choice. Specific Aims are to: 1) Develop, deliver, and rigorously assess innovative, hands on, problem-based learning curricular modules for grades 3, 6, and 9 that fill current educational gaps in health science education, and meet Indiana and national academic standards. Concepts not addressed by existing curricula, such as the science behind health advances, the clinical trials process, and the role of animals in developing new drugs and medical devices will be addressed; 2) Excite and recruit schoolchildren to careers in health science research by providing role models to students. Biomedical and clinical researchers will interact with K-12 students during classroom visits, camps, and after school programs and discuss career opportunities in basic science, pre-clinical, and clinical health science. Activity books will be distributed to provide additional career information to students; and 3) Involve and engage children, parents, and the public in educational fitness activities and programs that will lead to a healthier Indiana citizenry, informed health care decisions, and greater health literacy. Dogs will be incorporated into fitness programs as exercise companions to encourage participation. The capstone project is an interactive traveling exhibit highlighting the science involved in keeping people healthy. Phase I will use the systems approach to develop and provide formative assessment of curriculum, recruiting tools, and fitness programs within Indiana schools and communities. Phase II will extend the system and use professional development programs, web modules, and existing partnerships to disseminate the model and materials nationwide. Phase II will include a summative assessment of the effectiveness of the program in meeting long term objectives. The expected outcomes include a healthier Indiana citizenry; a greater understanding and appreciation of biomedical research; and, more children from underrepresented and rural populations interested in pursuing biomedical and clinical research careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): The long term objective of this cooperative effort among Purdue University, public schools in Indiana, and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, is to develop, evaluate and disseminate educational programs for K-12 students, parents, teachers, and the public about the science involved in keeping people healthy.

描述（由申请人提供）：普渡大学，印第安纳州的公立学校和印第安纳波利斯儿童博物馆之间的合作努力的长期目标是开发，评估和分发针对K-12学生，父母，老师和公众有关涉及的科学涉及的科学的教育计划。概念将通过强调影响印第安纳州和美国人民和动物的健康问题，包括预防肥胖，预防癌症和哮喘的健康问题。该SEPA将采用一种系统方法，其中健身计划，使用动物模型的研究计划，K-12外展计划，专业发展研讨会和教师的专业发展研讨会以及招募工作将被网络建立一个创新的教育模型，以填补健康科学教育，兴奋，兴奋和招募对健康科学研究的学院的当前差距，并培养健康科学研究，并带给健康的公民。这种系统方法将吸引广泛的受众，包括代表性不足的人群，并允许我们对我们的教育和招聘计划对从三年级到大学毕业的学生的影响以及最终的职业选择进行纵向评估。具体目的是：1）针对3、6和9年级的创新，基于问题的学习课程模块，开发，交付和严格评估，以填补当前健康科学教育中的教育空白，并符合印第安纳州和国家学术标准。现有课程未解决的概念，例如健康进步的科学，临床试验过程以及动物在开发新药和医疗设备中的作用； 2）通过向学生提供榜样，激发和招募卫生科学研究职业。生物医学和临床研究人员将在课堂探访，营地以及课后课程中与K-12学生互动，并讨论基础科学，临床前和临床健康科学的职业机会。活动书将分发，以向学生提供其他职业信息； 3）参与并吸引孩子，父母和公众参与教育健身活动和计划，这些活动将导致更健康的印第安纳州公民，知情的医疗保健决定和更大的健康素养。狗将被纳入健身计划中，作为锻炼伴侣，以鼓励参与。 Capstone Project是一个互动式旅行展览，强调了使人们健康所涉及的科学。第一阶段将使用系统方法来开发和提供印第安纳州学校和社区内课程，招聘工具以及健身计划的形成性评估。第二阶段将扩展系统，并使用专业开发计划，Web模块和现有合作伙伴关系来传播全国模型和材料。第二阶段将包括对该计划在达到长期目标的有效性的总结性评估。预期的结果包括更健康的印第安纳州公民；对生物医学研究的更了解和欣赏；而且，更多的儿童来自代表性不足和农村人群，有兴趣从事生物医学和临床研究职业。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：普渡大学，印第安纳州的公立学校和印第安纳波利斯儿童博物馆之间这种合作努力的长期目标是为K-12学生，父母，老师和公众开发，评估和传播有关使人保持健康的科学的教育计划。概念将通过强调影响印第安纳州和美国人民和动物的健康问题，包括预防肥胖，预防癌症和哮喘的健康问题。该SEPA将采用一种系统方法，其中健身计划，使用动物模型的研究计划，K-12外展计划，专业发展研讨会和教师的专业发展研讨会以及招募工作将被网络建立一个创新的教育模型，以填补健康科学教育，兴奋，兴奋和招募对健康科学研究的学院的当前差距，并培养健康科学研究，并带给健康的公民。
