DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The San Gabriel Valley Science Education Partnership Award Collaborative (SGV SEPAC) is a partnership between City of Hope (COH), a Comprehensive Cancer Center and biomedical research institute, and Duarte Unified School District (DUSD), an 80% minority school district in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County. Other partners include Pasadena City College and a stand-alone research and education non-profit called Oak Crest Institute of Science. The primary activity of the SGV SEPAC is the summer research project, in which high school students will receive instruction about and conduct true inquiry research projects in the context of a dedicated Community Teaching Laboratory housed on the COH campus. The goal is to offer a less intimidating, more nurturing and enriching research experience than traditional summer programs that take place in full-blown research labs. Select students from the summer program will go on to conduct a school-year research project in COH and OCIS labs, now with the background knowledge, skills, and confidence to be productive contributors to these labs' research programs. We are also proposing a teacher- focused professional development program. This will be a three-session workshop series presented in the spring of each year. Teachers will learn the same content, research methodology and techniques that will be presented to students the following summer. They will receive teaching materials and protocols to take back to their classrooms. Teachers who complete the spring workshop will also be involved in teaching the didactic portion of the summer research program and work side-by-side with students in the laboratory portion of the program. These experiences will help teachers reinforce the concepts learned by their students in the summer research program and also disseminate that information during the school year to a wider base of students who could not participate in the summer program. Finally, a smaller component of the proposed activities will be directed at K-8 students. These will include visits to 2nd grade classrooms by COH scientists and field trip visits to the COH campus by groups of 5th grade and 8th grade students. Fifth grade students will take a campus tour, visit COH labs and talk with scientists to learn about careers in research. Eighth grade students will engage in grade-appropriate experimental activities in the Community Teaching Lab to whet their appetite for research and pique their interest in applying for the summer research program during their high school years. Taken together, these programs are intended to be positive research experiences that are more likely than traditional laboratory activities to have a lasting, engaging effect on our target group of high school students, thus increasing their chances for pursuing careers in biomedical research. Rigorous evaluation using logic model assessment planning tools will ensure timely feedback on our successes and failures and allow for rapid program improvement and dissemination of best practices.

描述（由申请人提供）：圣盖博谷科学教育合作奖合作组织 (SGV SEPAC) 是综合癌症中心和生物医学研究机构希望之城 (COH) 与杜阿尔特联合学区 (DUSD) 之间的合作伙伴关系。 80%的少数族裔学区位于洛杉矶县圣盖博谷。其他合作伙伴包括帕萨迪纳城市学院和一家名为 Oak Crest 科学研究所的独立研究和教育非营利组织。 SGV SEPAC 的主要活动是暑期研究项目，高中生将在 COH 校园内的专门社区教学实验室中接受指导并开展真正的探究性研究项目。与在成熟的研究实验室进行的传统夏季项目相比，我们的目标是提供一种不那么令人生畏、更有益和更丰富的研究体验。从暑期项目中挑选出来的学生将继续在 COH 和 OCIS 实验室进行学年研究项目，现在他们具备了背景知识、技能和信心，可以为这些实验室的研究项目做出富有成效的贡献。我们还提出了一项以教师为中心的专业发展计划。这将是每年春季举办的三期研讨会系列。教师将学习与明年夏天向学生展示的内容、研究方法和技术相同的内容、研究方法和技术。他们将收到教学材料和协议并带回教室。完成春季研讨会的教师还将参与夏季研究计划的教学部分的教学，并在该计划的实验室部分与学生并肩工作。这些经验将帮助教师强化学生在暑期研究项目中学到的概念，并在学年期间向更多无法参加暑期项目的学生传播这些信息。最后，拟议活动的一小部分将针对 K-8 学生。其中包括由 COH 科学家参观二年级教室，以及由 5 年级和 8 年级学生小组对 COH 校园进行实地考察。五年级的学生将参观校园、参观 COH 实验室并与科学家交谈，了解研究职业。八年级的学生将在社区教学实验室参与适合年级的实验活动，以激发他们的研究兴趣，并激发他们在高中期间申请暑期研究项目的兴趣。总的来说，这些项目旨在提供积极的研究体验，比传统的实验室活动更有可能对我们的目标高中生群体产生持久、有吸引力的影响，从而增加他们从事生物医学研究职业的机会。使用逻辑模型评估规划工具进行严格评估将确保及时反馈我们的成功和失败，并允许快速改进项目和传播最佳实践。
