DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Through Project CRESST: Enhancing Clinical Research Education for Science Students and Teachers, VCU will develop programs to increase awareness of the clinical research process and human subjects protection for students in Central Virginia, to enhance research training for grades 6-12 life sciences teachers, and expand internet-based curricula focusing on the clinical research process to a national classroom audience. The VCU Center for Clinical and Translational Research and VCU Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy will work with the VCU Center for Life Sciences Education and the VCU School of Education to develop an innovative inquiry-based curriculum targeted to students in local school districts. Curricula will be aligned with state and national science and math educational standards and in partnership with public school district science educators and coordinators. The clinical research process will be illustrated using an important public health issue--childhood obesity. Two week-long summer institutes for teachers will be developed to expose teachers to childhood obesity, the clinical research process and safeguards and use of the curricular tools developed. Participating teachers will receive continuing education credit upon submitting evidence of incorporating learned information into their classrooms. Use of the curricula as well as the effectiveness of the summer institutes will be evaluated and programs revised in a continuous quality improvement cycle. Tested curricula will be disseminated nationally in partnership with SEPA and through a program website. Through student programs that are steeped in inquiry-based learning, sustainable teacher trainings that are strongly supported within our research environment, and curricular development that is effectively disseminated, VCU Center for Clinical and Translational Research and VCU Center for Life Sciences Education will enhance VCU's role as a community partner and foster positive relationships surrounding clinical research in Central Virginia. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Translating the remarkable wealth of basic research knowledge into improved public health depends on an effective clinical research enterprise. A critical component of achieving this goal is strengthening the partnership between scientists, clinicians, the local community, and patients. This project builds awareness of the value and process of clinical research by educating middle and high school teachers and their students using research in childhood obesity-a critical public health issue-as a model.

描述（由申请人提供）：通过 CRESST 项目：加强科学学生和教师的临床研究教育，VCU 将制定计划，以提高弗吉尼亚州中部学生对临床研究过程和人类受试者保护的认识，并加强 6 年级的研究培训-12 名生命科学教师，并将以临床研究过程为重点的互联网课程扩展到全国课堂受众。弗吉尼亚联邦大学临床和转化研究中心以及弗吉尼亚联邦大学医学与药学院将与弗吉尼亚联邦大学生命科学教育中心和弗吉尼亚联邦大学教育学院合作，针对当地学区的学生开发基于探究的创新课程。课程将与州和国家科学和数学教育标准保持一致，并与公立学区科学教育者和协调员合作。临床研究过程将通过一个重要的公共卫生问题——儿童肥胖症来说明。将为教师举办为期两周的暑期学院，让教师了解儿童肥胖、临床研究过程以及所开发课程工具的保障和使用。参与的教师将在提交将学到的信息融入课堂的证据后获得继续教育学分。将评估课程的使用以及暑期学院的有效性，并持续修订课程 改进周期。经过测试的课程将与国家环保总局合作并通过计划网站在全国范围内传播。通过深入探究性学习的学生项目、在我们的研究环境中大力支持的可持续教师培训以及有效传播的课程开发，弗吉尼亚联邦大学临床和转化研究中心和弗吉尼亚联邦大学生命科学教育中心将增强弗吉尼亚联邦大学的作用作为社区合作伙伴，并在弗吉尼亚州中部围绕临床研究建立积极的关系。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：将丰富的基础研究知识转化为改善公共卫生取决于有效的临床研究企业。实现这一目标的一个关键组成部分是加强科学家、临床医生、当地社区和患者之间的伙伴关系。该项目以儿童肥胖（一个重要的公共卫生问题）研究为模型，对初中和高中教师及其学生进行教育，建立对临床研究价值和过程的认识。
