The overarching goal of this SEPA R25 project is to increase rural student interest in pursuing a career in the health care professions, and in so doing help address the higher morbidity and mortality in rural communities associated with the shortage of health care professionals. To accomplish this we will develop and implement a transformative educational program for rural 9th-12th grade students, Building Rural Aspirations In Neuroscience with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (BRAIN- STEM) that will use research-based strategies to address the key modifiable barriers that limit rural student interest in and the ability to succeed in health care careers. Namely, BRAIN-STEM will (1) Improve academic, research, and metacognitive skills important in succeeding in the STEM subjects relevant to health care profession training, and thereby increase students’ perceived self-efficacy in pursuing these careers, (2) provide role models and mentors for students, and (3) ignite high school student interest in the health care professions. These aims will be accomplished through 5-day summer camps and afterschool programs. The summer camp is designed to spark student interest in the health care professions and introduce academic, research and metacognitive skills development. These topics will be covered in more depth during the afterschool program. Both the summer camp and afterschool program curricula will include a combination of established (e.g., inquiry-based learning) and innovative (e.g., metacognitive skill development) pedagogical techniques that will conform to the NGSS standards. Importantly, the BRAIN-STEM curriculum will be developed in close collaboration with our teacher partners. BRAIN-STEM participants will work extensively with Clarkson Faculty and near-peer students, who will serve as mentors and role models. These mentors and role models along with our teacher partners will be trained in professional development workshops that will enable them to guide students through the research process; develop academic, research and metacognitive skills; teach the process of evidence-based medicine; and provide encouragement to pursue healthcare-related careers. To ignite student interest in the health care professions BRAIN-STEM will have students work on two brain-related clinical problems that are personally relevant, important, and have local significance: addiction and concussion. Finally, all curriculum and best practices will be broadly disseminated through a state-of the art web application, open-source lesson plans, journal publications, conference presentations, and a broad range of other delivery mechanisms (subsequent camps, academic year enrichment class, and integrated into other outreach programs). BRAIN-STEM will accomplish all of this by leveraging Clarkson University’s faculty expertise and strong partnerships with surrounding school districts and health care professionals.

该SEPA R25项目的总体目标是增加学生对从事职业的兴趣 卫生保健专业人员，因此有助于解决更高的发病率和死亡率 与医疗保健专业人员短缺相关的社区。为此，我们将 为九至12年级的学生开发和实施一个变革性的教育计划，建造 科学，技术，工程和数学神经科学中的农村愿望（脑 - 词干）将使用基于研究的策略来解决限制常规的关键可修改障碍 学生对医疗保健职业的兴趣和成功的能力。也就是说，脑干将（1） 提高学术，研究和元认知能力在STEM主题中重要的重要 与医疗保健专业培训相关，从而增加了学生在 从事这些职业，（2）为学生提供榜样和导师，（3）点燃高中 学生对医疗保健专业人员的兴趣。这些目标将在5天的夏季实现 营地和课后计划。夏令营旨在激发学生对医疗保健的兴趣 专业并介绍学术，研究和元认知技能发展。这些主题将是 在课后计划期间，涵盖了更深入的范围。夏令营和课后计划 课程将包括已建立的（例如，基于查询的学习）和创新（例如， 元认知技能发展）教学技术将符合NGSS标准。 重要的是，将与我们的老师密切合作开发脑干课程 合作伙伴。大脑词干参与者将与克拉克森教职员工和近点学生合作， 谁将担任导师和榜样。这些导师和榜样以及我们的老师 合作伙伴将接受专业发展研讨会的培训，以使他们能够指导学生 通过研究过程；发展学术，研究和元认知技能；教 循证医学；并鼓励从事与医疗有关的职业。点燃 学生对医疗保健专业人员的兴趣将使学生从事两个与大脑有关的工作 个人相关，重要且具有局部意义的临床问题：成瘾和 脑震荡。最后，所有课程和最佳实践将通过最新的 艺术网络应用程序，开源课程计划，期刊出版物，会议演示和广泛的 其他交货机制（随后的营地，增强学年的班级和集成的范围 进入其他外展计划）。大脑词干将通过利用克拉克森来实现这一切 大学的教师专业知识和与周围学区和医疗保健的牢固合作伙伴关系 专业人士。
