DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Improvement in health/science literacy tops the nation's health/education agenda, meshing with NIH-NIAID's strategies to energize the clinical research enterprise, enhance public understanding of science [specifically ~ Infection (In) and Immunity (Im)], and expedite translation of discovery into practice. This R25 proposal, from an experienced team led by accomplished clinician-scientists devoted to outcomes-oriented educational interventions targeting diverse/disadvantaged K-16 and health professional students, builds on a national infrastructure of people, programs, and partnerships as well as student "cyberliteracy". Using our web-based Virtual Clinical Research Center and Questionarium (an interactive Questioning Space)(VCRC/Q) launched in 2011, specific aims are: 1) connect, customize, and scale this unique one stop "learning grid" (for integrating and personalizing domain-specific content, learning activities, and user services) to deliver a new In/Im curriculum and provide state-of-the-art multifaceted bidirectional linkage between the biomedical world and K-12 schools and general public; 2) develop a new inquiry-driven student-centered multimedia K-12 core curriculum - "Infection and Immunity: Knowns and Unknowns (Answers! and Questions?)" (InIm K!/U?). InIm K!/U? targets diverse/disadvantaged Arizona high school students, then age-adapted for K-8, on VCRC/Q or face-to-face for classroom, laboratory, and home use. It introduces the "language" (vocabulary) of medicine and highlights the spectrum of NIAID-related basic, clinical, and translational research topics, tools, and scientist role models mixing diverse experts and multilevel students as presenters/ producers. The innovative theme and learning strategy interweaves biomedical "Knowledge" (today's Knowns/Answers!) and "Ignorance" (Unknowns/Questions? - future learning and discovery), mirroring authentic science and encouraging students to ask their own questions and explore answers in VCRC/Q, classrooms/school labs, and home. Among topics introduced in animated graphically attractive teaser/snapshot form at the K9-12 then K-8 level will be: introductory mini-overview of pathobiology (inflammation, necrosis, immunity and neoplasia); research tools; bacterial, fungal, and viral organisms; infections including tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, coccidioidomycosis, AIDS, influenza; MRSA, wound/surgical infections; parasitic diseases from worms and insect vectors; 1 and 2 immune disorders, organ transplantation; vaccines; and bioterrorism; 3) provide K-12 teacher training and support through serial interactive multimedia teacher workshops, year round inservice consultation, and online social networking to encourage teacher and student ownership/innovation reflecting state/national standards. Comprehensive formative/summative evaluation includes 3-phases (design, implement, disseminate) and short- and long-term assessment of program and teacher/student participant outcomes including as "questioners". National/ international dissemination centers in VCRC/Q's expanding multimedia, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional partnerships and social networking to enhance impact.

描述（由申请人提供）：健康/科学素养的改善以全国的健康/教育议程为首，与NIH-NIAID的策略进行了融合，以激发临床研究企业的策略，增强对科学的公众了解[特别是〜感染（IN）和免疫（IM）]，以及将发现转化为实践。这项R25提案来自一支由成熟的临床医生科学家领导的经验丰富的团队，致力于以结果为导向的教育干预措施，针对多元化/弱势群体的K-16和卫生专业学生，建立在国家基础架构，计划和伙伴关系以及伙伴关系以及学生“ Cyber​​literacy”上。 Using our web-based Virtual Clinical Research Center and Questionarium (an interactive Questioning Space)(VCRC/Q) launched in 2011, specific aims are: 1) connect, customize, and scale this unique one stop "learning grid" (for integrating and personalizing domain-specific content, learning activities, and user services) to deliver a new In/Im curriculum and provide state-of-the-art multifaceted bidirectional linkage between the biomedical world and K-12学校和公众； 2）开发一个新的以询问为中心的以学生为中心的多媒体K-12核心课程 - “感染与免疫力：已知和未知数（答案！和问题？）”（INIM K！/u？）。 inim k！/u？针对Arizona高中的多样化/弱势群体，当时是在VCRC/Q或面对面的教室，实验室和家庭用途面对面的K-8年龄的学生。它介绍了医学的“语言”（词汇），并突出了与NIAID相关的基本，临床和转化研究主题，工具和科学家榜样，将各种专家和多级学生作为演示者/制作人混合在一起。创新的主题和学习策略将生物医学的“知识”（今天的已知/答案！）和“无知/问题”（未知/问题？ - 未来的学习与发现），镜像真实的科学，并鼓励学生提出自己的问题并在VCRC/Q中探索答案，并在VCRC/Q，教室/学校实验室和家庭中进行探索。在K9-12的动画图形上有吸引力的预告片/快照形式中引入的主题中，K-8级别将是：病理生物学的迷你介绍性（炎症，坏死，免疫，免疫和肿瘤）；研究工具；细菌，真菌和病毒生物；感染，包括结核病，性传播疾病，球虫病，艾滋病，流感； MRSA，伤口/手术感染；来自蠕虫和昆虫媒介的寄生疾病； 1和2免疫疾病，器官移植；疫苗;和生物恐怖主义； 3）通过串行互动多媒体教师研讨会，全年的内幕咨询和在线社交网络提供K-12教师培训和支持，以鼓励教师和学生所有权/创新反映州/国家标准。全面的形成性/总结性评估包括3次（设计，实施，传播）以及对计划以及教师/学生参与者成果的短期和长期评估，包括作为“问答”。 VCRC/ Q的国家/国际传播中心不断扩大多媒体，多学科，多机构合作伙伴关系和社交网络，以增强影响。
