项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Museum of Natural History requests SEPA support for a five-year development and implementation project entitled "Human Health and 'Human Bulletins': Scientists and Teens Explore Health Sciences in the Museum and World At Large." The program has three complementary components: (1) the development of 7 new productions for the Museum's digital media/documentary exhibition program, Human Bulletins http://sciencebulletins.amnh.org) featuring the newest health-related research; (2) a mini-course, entitled Hot Topics in Health Research NOW, an intensive after school program covering genetics, epidemiology, human health and human evolution, including a section on ethics in research; and (3) A "drop-in" Human Bulletins Science Club, where students meet monthly to watch a Human Bulletin visual news program, engage in informal discussions with significant researchers in the fields of evolutionary science and human health. The main goals of this project are: (1) to inform young people about emerging health-related research by using the Human Bulletins as core content for programming and points of engagement; (2) to promote a life-long interest in science among participants by teaching them how health-related science research could potentially affect them or their families; (3) to empower teens to critically assess the science presented to them in the Museum and in the world at large by teaching them to break down the "information bytes" of the Human Bulletins and to analyze how stories are presented visually and how to find answers to questions raised by the Bulletins; (4) for the young people in the program to see themselves as participants in the Museum by developing "mentor" relationships with Museum staff. This will allow students to see AMNH as an enduring institution to be used as a resource throughout their education and careers; and (5) to give students the means to envision themselves with future careers in science, research and in museums (thus fostering a new generation of culturally-diverse, culturally enriched scientific leaders) by introducing them to scientists in an informal setting where there are no consequences for making mistakes or asking questions. The students will be given "behind the scenes" looks at new career options through the scientists featured in the Bulletins and the NIH funded researchers on the Advisory Board presenting at the informal sessions. Ultimately, the project aims to give students to critically process the information they receive about public health, see the relevance of human health science to their lives and pursue careers in health science. All of these skills are measurable through formative and summative evaluation. This project will teach young people to understand information about public health that is presented to them through visual and popular media as well as through formal scientific texts. It will also teach them to think about how human health sciences impact their lives and how the decisions they make impact larger human health. Finally, the program will also encourage students to pursue careers and further information about public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国自然历史博物馆请求国家环境保护局支持一项为期五年的开发和实施项目，题为“人类健康和‘人类公告’：科学家和青少年在博物馆和世界范围内探索健康科学”。该计划具有三个互补的组成部分：(1) 为博物馆的数字媒体/纪录片展览计划《人类公告》(Human Bulletins)（http://sciencebulletins.amnh.org）开发 7 部新作品，其中包含最新的健康相关研究； (2) 名为“现在健康研究热点”的迷你课程，这是一个课外强化课程，内容涵盖遗传学、流行病学、人类健康和人类进化，其中包括研究伦理学部分； (3)“临时”人类公报科学俱乐部，学生每月聚会观看人类公报视觉新闻节目，与进化科学和人类健康领域的重要研究人员进行非正式讨论。该项目的主要目标是：（1）通过使用人类公告作为规划和参与点的核心内容，向年轻人介绍新兴的健康相关研究； (2) 通过教导参与者健康相关的科学研究如何可能影响他们或其家人，促进他们对科学的终生兴趣； (3) 通过教青少年分解人类公报的“信息字节”并分析故事如何以视觉方式呈现以及如何发现故事，使他们能够批判性地评估博物馆和整个世界向他们展示的科学知识。对公报提出的问题的答复； (4) 通过与博物馆工作人员建立“导师”关系，让项目中的年轻人将自己视为博物馆的参与者。这将使学生将 AMNH 视为一个持久的机构，并在他们的整个教育和职业生涯中将其用作资源； (5) 通过在非正式的环境中向学生介绍科学家，为他们提供设想自己在科学、研究和博物馆领域未来职业的途径（从而培养新一代文化多元化、文化丰富的科学领袖）。犯错误或提出问题不会产生任何后果。学生们将通过公报中介绍的科学家和在非正式会议上发言的咨询委员会中由美国国立卫生研究院资助的研究人员，了解新的职业选择的“幕后”情况。最终，该项目旨在让学生批判性地处理他们收到的有关公共卫生的信息，了解人类健康科学与他们生活的相关性，并追求健康科学的职业生涯。所有这些技能都可以通过形成性和总结性评估来衡量。该项目将教导年轻人了解通过视觉和流行媒体以及正式的科学文本向他们提供的有关公共卫生的信息。它还将教会他们思考人类健康科学如何影响他们的生活以及他们做出的决定如何影响更大的人类健康。最后，该计划还将鼓励学生追求职业并获得有关公共卫生的更多信息。
