Abstract Over the last ten years, local under-served and impoverished school systems have increasingly felt the burden of lack of funding and very limited resources in science education. The School District of Philadelphia, our city’s schools, currently has tremendous budget cuts that directly result in under-resourced science classrooms. In addition, attracting the next generation into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers is a fundamental issue facing today’s educators. It is because of these barriers throughout a student’s educational career that the outreach core will build a biological science pipeline for local, under-served high school youth to gain the research skills to be successful in other rigorous science programs, college courses, and the workforce. Our outreach core will include the continuation of two successful outreach projects funded by the P50-HD06817 grant - Project BioEYES, the week-long biology experiment which occurs in classrooms during the school day with the addition of epigenetic presentations, and the Penn Academy for Reproductive Sciences (PARS), the Saturday program at UPenn. In addition, we will expand the outreach core to include a formalized 8-week summer internship for PARS alumnae in co-Investigators’ laboratories. The result of our outreach core is a series of science exposures that first target city biology classrooms and then offer specialized opportunities for high school women who have a genuine interest in science and research.

抽象的 在过去的十年中，当地服务不足和贫困的学校系统已增加 感觉到伯恩缺乏资金和科学教育中的资源非常有限。学校 费城地区是我们城市的学校，目前有巨大的预算削减 导致资源不足的科学教室。此外，将下一代吸引 科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业是面临的基本问题 今天的教育工作者。正是由于这些障碍在整个学生的教育职业中， 外展核心将为地方服务不足的高中建立生物科学管道 年轻人获得研究技能，以在其他严格的科学课程中取得成功，大学 课程和劳动力。我们的外展核心将包括两个成功的延续 由P50-HD06817赠款资助的外展项目 - 长达一周的生物学项目Bioeyes 在上学期间在课堂上发生的实验，并增加表观遗传 演讲，以及宾夕法尼亚州生殖科学学院（PARS），星期六 在Upenn的计划。此外，我们将扩大外展核心，包括一个正式的8周 在共同评估者实验室中为Pars校友实习。我们的结果 外展核心是一系列科学暴露，首先针对城市生物学课堂，然后是 为对科学有真正兴趣的高中妇女提供专门的机会 和研究。
