DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this application is to design, implement and evaluate an inquiry-based after school science mentorship program for middle school youth, grades five to seven, developed in partnership with and located at the Robert R. McCormick Boys and Girls Club of Chicago. Our long-range goal is to address issues of youth disengagement, minority under-representation, and poor scientific literacy by designing and supporting educational programs that engage youth in the challenge, promise, and wonder of biomedical science. The importance of developing new, effective approaches for biomedical science engagement is underscored by the need to nurture and grow the diversity and quality of America's scientific and health-care enterprise, and to provide all American youth with the scientific and evidence-based analysis skills they require to be informed members of a 21st century democracy. In addition, the applicant addresses the important need to identify the factors that underlie effective after school science programs by measuring specific outcomes like science achievement, attitudes, and career directions and aspirations. In addition, we will provide insight into the personal and professional motivations that lead scientists to engage in science outreach activities- and whether or not participating in outreach during the early stages of training can influence scientists' longer-term attitudes and engagement in outreach. Specifically, we aim to: 1) Develop a mentorship-based model for community-centered youth biomedical science engagement using mentors who are scientists in training, 2) Select, tailor, and implement a set of six themed, inquiry-based biomedical science activities leveraging existing NIH- and NSF-funded projects and supported by field trips, science fairs, and scientific writing Opportunities, 3) Develop programmatic and intellectual linkages between the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago, Northwestern University, John T. McCutcheon Elementary School (P/K-8), and other academic partners, and 4) Evaluate, disseminate, and expand the model of community-based outreach. In addition to addressing the acute need for youth- and adult-based biomedical science engagement, it is our expectation that our community- and mentor-based approach will serve as a model for future science engagement programs involving middle school youth, their families, and academic-community partnerships.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是针对中学青年设计，实施和评估基于询问的课后科学指导计划，该计划是5至7年级，与芝加哥的Robert R. McCormick Boys和Girls合作开发，并位于芝加哥的Robert R. McCormick Boys Club。我们的远程目标是通过设计和支持使青年参与挑战，承诺和生物医学科学奇观的教育计划来解决青年脱离接触，少数群体不足和科学素养差的问题。开发新的，有效的生物医学科学参与方法的重要性是由于需要培育和发展美国科学和卫生保健企业的多样性和质量的需求，并为所有美国青年提供了21世纪民主的成员所需的科学和循证分析技能。此外，申请人解决了通过衡量科学成就，态度以及职业指导和愿望等具体成果来确定在学校科学计划之后有效的因素的重要需求。此外，我们将洞悉个人和专业动机，导致科学家从事科学外展活动，以及在培训的早期阶段是否参与外展活动会影响科学家的长期态度和参与外展活动。 Specifically, we aim to: 1) Develop a mentorship-based model for community-centered youth biomedical science engagement using mentors who are scientists in training, 2) Select, tailor, and implement a set of six themed, inquiry-based biomedical science activities leveraging existing NIH- and NSF-funded projects and supported by field trips, science fairs, and scientific writing Opportunities, 3) Develop programmatic and intellectual linkages between the Boys and Girls Club of芝加哥，西北大学，约翰·T·麦卡乔（John T.除了满足对青年和成人生物医学科学参与的急需需求之外，我们期望我们的社区和导师的方法将成为涉及中学青年，家庭和学术社区伙伴关系的未来科学参与计划的典范。
