Project Summary/Abstract Biomedical science and science professions can seem unattainable to many low-income and minority children living in rural-agricultural regions across the United States. There is a need for educational programs and rural capacity building initiatives that will help these children see themselves and their rural communities as a genuine part of the biomedical enterprise. To address this need, this project will establish the Health-sciences Education through Arts-based Learning (HEAL) partnership; an interdisciplinary collaboration of Washington State University biomedical science and Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM) education researchers, rural education partner organizations, practitioner partners, and community stakeholders from low-income, ethnically diverse communities in rural-agricultural Central Washington. The long-term goal of this project is to bolster the recruitment of students from these underrepresented communities into the biomedical research pipeline. To pursue this goal, the project's overall objective is to foster early interest in, understanding of, and appreciation for STEMM and biomedical science career possibilities among low-income and ethnically diverse rural children in grades 3-5. Situated at the cutting edge of research on systems-level thinking and arts-integrated STEMM learning, HEAL will develop a comprehensive educational program and cohort of well-prepared community educators to foster creative, visual learning about complex zoonotic diseases systems, such as West Nile Virus and enteric bacteria, and the impact of these diseases on rural-agricultural communities. The project will pursue two specific aims: 1) Design an equitable, effective, and comprehensive arts-based health science education program about disease systems in rural-agricultural regions; 2) Build educator capacity in rural-agricultural regions through professional development in arts-based health science education. Under the first aim, HEAL will develop and implement four curriculum modules, public youth-exhibition community events, and portable arts-integrated biomedical science activity kits to be used in rural libraries, community centers, clinics, and schools. Under the second aim, HEAL will build comprehensive, sustained professional development programs, including intensive year-long courses, three-day regional workshops, and online training materials for national-level distribution, for elementary-level educators and other adults serving the target communities. HEAL's approach is innovative because it uses systems-level thinking as a tool for advancing equity in biomedical fields, equips underrepresented children with visual and spatial artistic tools to learn and communicate biomedical science across language divides, and challenges the status quo of rural education capacity building by developing expertise from within underserved communities. This project is significant because it will advance biomedical science education for underserved and increasingly diverse rural-agricultural communities across the US, ultimately strengthening and diversifying the biomedical workforce.

项目摘要/摘要 生物医学科学和科学专业对于许多低收入和少数族裔儿童似乎无法实现 居住在美国的农村农业地区。需要教育计划和农村 能力建设计划将帮助这些孩子将自己和农村社区视为一个 生物医学企业的真正一部分。为了满足这一需求，该项目将建立健康委托人 通过基于艺术的学习（HEL）伙伴关系教育；华盛顿的跨学科合作 州立大学生物医学科学和科学，技术，工程，数学和医学 （STEMM）教育研究人员，农村教育合作伙伴组织，从业者合作伙伴和社区 来自华盛顿州农村农业农业的低收入，种族多元化社区的利益相关者。这 该项目的长期目标是加强这些人数不足的学生的招聘 社区进入生物医学研究管道。为了实现这一目标，该项目的总体目标是 促进对STEMM和生物医学科学生涯的早期兴趣，理解和欣赏 3 - 5年级的低收入和种族多元化儿童的可能性。位于尖端 关于系统级思维和艺术综合干学习的研究，Heal将发展 全面的教育计划和精心准备的社区教育者队列，以促进创意， 关于复杂的人畜共患病系统的视觉学习，例如西尼罗河病毒和肠细菌，以及 这些疾病对农村农业社区的影响。该项目将追求两个具体目标：1） 设计有关疾病的公平，有效和全面的基于艺术的健康科学教育计划 农村农业地区的系统； 2）通过 基于艺术的健康科学教育的专业发展。在第一个目标下，治愈将发展和 实施四个课程模块，公共青年探索社区活动和便携式艺术集成 生物医学科学活动套件用于农村图书馆，社区中心，诊所和学校。在 第二个目的，Heal将建立全面，持续的专业发展计划，包括 为期一年的密集课程，为期三天的区域研讨会和在线培训材料 分配，用于为目标社区服务的基础教育者和其他成年人。治愈的方法 之所以创新，是因为它使用系统级思想作为在生物医学领域推进权益的工具 具有视觉和空间艺术工具的代表性不足的儿童学习和交流生物医学科学 跨语言鸿沟，并通过发展来挑战农村教育能力建设的现状 来自服务不足的社区内部的专业知识。该项目很重要，因为它将推进生物医学 美国服务不足和越来越多样化的农村农业社区的科学教育， 最终增强和多样化生物医学劳动力。
