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）：San Gabriel Valley Science Education教育合作奖合作奖（SGV SEPAC）是希望之城（COH）之间的合作伙伴，综合癌症中心和生物医学研究所，杜阿尔特统一学区（DUSD）（DUSD）（DUSD），是80％的少数学区，位于Los Angels County San Gabriel Valley的80％少数学区。其他合作伙伴包括帕萨迪纳城市学院和一个独立的研究和教育非营利组织，称为橡树克雷斯特科学学院。 SGV SEPAC的主要活动是夏季研究项目，在该项目中，高中生将在COH校园内的一个专门的社区教学实验室中获得有关并进行真正的调查研究项目。与在成熟研究实验室发生的传统夏季计划相比，其目的是提供一种恐吓，更丰富和丰富的研究经验。夏季计划中的精选学生将继续在COH和OCIS实验室进行学年研究项目，现在具有背景知识，技能和信心，成为这些实验室研究计划的富有成效的贡献者。我们还提出了一个以教师为中心的专业发展计划。这将是每年春季举办的三节研讨会系列。老师将学习下夏天将向学生展示的相同内容，研究方法和技术。他们将收到教材和协议，以带回他们的教室。完成春季研讨会的教师也将参与教授夏季研究计划的教学部分，并与该计划的实验室部分的学生并肩工作。这些经验将有助于教师加强学生在夏季研究计划中学到的概念，并在学年期间将这些信息传播给无法参加夏季计划的学生。最后，拟议活动的较小组成部分将针对K-8学生。这些将包括COH科学家访问二年级教室，以及五年级和8年级的学生对COH校园的实地考察访问。五年级的学生将参加校园之旅，访问COH实验室并与科学家交谈，以了解研究中的职业。八年级的学生将在社区教学实验室中从事适合年级的实验活动，以激发他们对研究的兴趣，并在高中期间兴趣申请夏季研究计划。综上所述，这些计划旨在是积极的研究经验，比传统的实验室活动更有可能对我们的高中生目标群体产生持久，引人入胜的影响，从而增加了从事生物医学研究职业的机会。使用逻辑模型评估计划工具进行严格的评估将确保及时就我们的成功和失败进行反馈，并允许对最佳实践的快速改进和传播。
