a. Objective Introduction Over the last ten years, emerging science disciplines, such as stem cells, epigenetics, nanotechnology and biotechnology, have not only revolutionized biology and other STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines but also have created new industries and a whole new range of career opportunities. Unfortunately, school curricula have not kept up with these rapid changes in science, and most students in the United States are not well prepared or knowledgeable about the sophisticated emerging science that will become increasingly important in the next 10-15 years. Teachers are bound by time, limited resources, and testing requirements to teach the science that is specified in the biology curriculum. Unfortunately, most teachers are not equipped or able to fit emerging science into their hour-long science class. It is because of these challenges that community engagement will be a central component to this project and we will primarily focus on reaching Philadelphia high school teachers and students, undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students, and faculty from PennCSER. Using an established and successful outreach program called Project BioEYES (described below) as the foundation of our work, we will (1) launch science caf6s to inform public school teachers and the university community on the advances and challenges of current research in epigenetics and reproduction, (2) develop a high school curriculum focused on reproduction as well as the epigenetic and environmental influences on reproduction with the input of local teachers, (3) offer a research summer internship to high school students, and (4) co-host an annual science celebration to share with the community the latest developments in the research and educational outreach programs. Notably, as the reproduction and epigenetics curriculum is developed, we will incorporate aspects of the highly regarded Northwestern SCCPIR Outreach program, as they have developed learning modules on basic reproductive physiology and ovarian function (see letter of collaboration from Teresa Woodruff and Megan Faurot).

一个。客观的 介绍 在过去的十年中，新兴的科学学科，例如干细胞，表观遗传学，纳米技术和 生物技术，不仅彻底改变了生物学和其他STEM（科学，技术，工程和 数学学科，但也创造了新的行业和全新的职业机会。 不幸的是，学校课程并没有跟上科学的这些快速变化，大多数学生 美国对复杂的新兴科学的准备或知识渊博 在接下来的10 - 15年中变得越来越重要。教师受时间，有限的资源约束，并且 测试要求教授生物学课程中指定的科学的要求。不幸的是，大多数 教师没有能力或能够将新兴科学融入长时间的科学课程。 正是由于这些挑战，社区参与将是该项目的核心组成部分 我们将主要专注于接触费城高中教师和学生，本科生， 毕业生和医学院的学生，以及Penncser的教职员工。使用已建立和成功的 宣传计划称为生物眼（Project Bioeyes）（如下所述）是我们工作的基础，我们将（1）启动 科学CAF6，以告知公立学校教师和大学社区的进步和挑战 （2）在当前的表观遗传学和繁殖研究中，开发了一项针对的高中课程 繁殖以及表观遗传和环境对繁殖的影响以及局部输入 老师（3）为高中生提供研究暑期实习，（4）共同主持年度科学 庆祝与社区分享研究和教育外展的最新发展 程序。值得注意的是，随着复制和表观遗传学课程的发展，我们将合并 备受推崇的西北Sccpir外展计划的各个方面，随着他们的发展 有关基本生殖生理学和卵巢功能的学习模块（请参阅协作信 来自Teresa Woodruff和Megan Fahot）。
