项目摘要

The Cancer Health Activism Network for Greater Equity (CHANGE) project addresses inequities in education and health outcomes for African American students in biosciences by enhancing biology teachers' cancer research and cancer health disparities knowledge and developing and implementing transformative, innovative, socially just biology lessons. The lessons will be refined over a series of Saturday workshops (CHANGE Academies) for students in schools that primarily serve Black and African American students in the Houston area. Additionally, locally and nationally, CHANGE will broadly disseminate these lessons through in-person and virtual professional developments (Health Disparities Institute for Teachers) for educators. The specific aims of this collaboration are to (i) increase teacher knowledge of both cancer biology and cancer health disparities and (ii) produce a novel high school biology curriculum on cancer biology and health disparities research grounded in the Transformative Leadership framework, and (iii) assess the impact of the CHANGE curriculum on student outcomes. The team that we have assembled includes the highest caliber of NIH-funded researchers, leaders in STEM teacher Professional Development (PD), experienced curriculum writers, leading bioethicists, and social scientists with expertise in racial disparities and inequities and large, diverse school districts. The PI and the research team have a track record of providing teacher PD that enhances and improves teachers' science content knowledge, self-efficacy, and leadership, improving student outcomes. Rice University is an ideal location for this project because it is strategically located in the large and diverse city of Houston, Texas, and is adjacent to the Texas Medical Center (TMC), the largest medical complex in the world. These collaborations routinely occur between the TMC and Rice University. This proposal is responsive to the goals of the NIH SEPA program as it will focus on Research Experiences, Curriculum or Methods Development, and Outreach to increase Black and African American interest and motivation in biosciences fields. The outcomes of this project, including the curricular materials that will be developed, will advance current knowledge about effective social justice in high school education as we pursue educational and health equity to successfully promote a diverse bioscience workforce.

癌症健康行动更大公平网络 (CHANGE) 项目解决不平等问题通过加强生物科学领域非裔美国学生的教育和健康成果生物教师的癌症研究和癌症健康差异知识以及发展和实施变革性、创新性、社会公正的生物学课程。课程将进一步完善为主要学校的学生举办一系列周六研讨会（变革学院）为休斯顿地区的黑人和非裔美国学生提供服务。此外，本地和在全国范围内，CHANGE 将通过面对面和虚拟方式广泛传播这些经验教训教育工作者的专业发展（教师健康差异研究所）。具体的此次合作的目的是 (i) 增加教师对癌症生物学和癌症的了解健康差异；(ii) 制定关于癌症生物学的新颖的高中生物课程；以及基于变革型领导框架的健康差异研究，以及 (iii) 评估 CHANGE 课程对学生成绩的影响。我们组建的团队包括 NIH 资助的最高水平的研究人员、STEM 教师专业领域的领导者发展（PD）、经验丰富的课程编写者、领先的生物伦理学家和社会科学家种族差异和不平等以及大型、多元化学区方面的专业知识。 PI 和研究团队拥有提供教师专业发展以增强和提高教师能力的记录科学内容知识、自我效能和领导力，提高学生的成绩。米大学是该项目的理想地点，因为它地理位置优越，位于大而密的地区。德克萨斯州休斯顿的多元化城市，毗邻德克萨斯州最大的医疗中心 (TMC) 世界医疗综合体。这些合作通常发生在 TMC 和 Rice 之间大学。该提案响应 NIH SEPA 计划的目标，因为它将重点关注研究经验、课程或方法开发以及增加黑人的外展活动以及非裔美国人对生物科学领域的兴趣和动机。该项目的成果，包括将要开发的课程材料，将推进当前的知识当我们追求教育和健康公平时，高中教育中有效的社会正义成功促进生物科学劳动力的多元化。
