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.

项目概要/摘要 对于许多低收入和少数民族儿童来说，生物医学科学和科学专业似乎遥不可及 生活在美国各地的农村农业地区。需要教育计划和农村 能力建设举措将帮助这些儿童将自己和农村社区视为一个群体 生物医药企业的真正组成部分。为了满足这一需求，该项目将建立健康科学 通过基于艺术的学习（HEAL）伙伴关系进行教育；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 来自华盛顿中部农村农业地区低收入、多种族社区的利益相关者。这 该项目的长期目标是增加从这些代表性不足的学生中招收学生 社区进入生物医学研究渠道。为了实现这一目标，该项目的总体目标是 培养对 STEMM 和生物医学科学事业的早期兴趣、理解和欣赏 3-5 年级低收入和多民族农村儿童的可能性。位于最前沿 HEAL 致力于系统级思维和艺术综合 STEMM 学习的研究，将开发 全面的教育计划和一群准备充分的社区教育工作者，以培养创造性、 关于复杂的人畜共患疾病系统的视觉学习，例如西尼罗河病毒和肠道细菌，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) 设计一个公平、有效、全面的以艺术为基础的疾病健康科学教育计划 农村农业地区的系统； 2) 通过以下方式建设农村农业地区的教育者能力： 以艺术为基础的健康科学教育的专业发展。在第一个目标下，HEAL将发展并 实施四个课程模块、公共青少年展览社区活动和便携式艺术综合 用于农村图书馆、社区中心、诊所和学校的生物医学科学活动套件。下 第二个目标，HEAL 将建立全面、持续的专业发展计划，包括 为期一年的强化课程、为期三天的区域讲习班以及国家级在线培训材料 分发给小学教育工作者和服务于目标社区的其他成年人。 HEAL的方法 之所以具有创新性，是因为它使用系统级思维作为促进生物医学领域公平的工具， 为弱势儿童提供视觉和空间艺术工具来学习和交流生物医学科学 跨越语言鸿沟，挑战农村教育能力建设现状 来自服务欠缺社区的专业知识。该项目意义重大，因为它将推动生物医学的发展 为美国各地服务不足且日益多样化的农村农业社区提供科学教育， 最终加强生物医学劳动力并使之多样化。
