DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The "Partnership in Neuroscience Education" will create collections of multimedia resources on specific issues that relate to modern neuroscience research, neurological health and health literacy. The multimedia pieces include high definition video animation of peripheral and central nervous system cells and tissues presented in digital dome planetariums. Shows will also be produced as DVDs, companion video games and interactive media for museum kiosks. Aspects of the stories will be crafted into interactive eBook stories with logic and branching scenarios that teach the user about the fundamental principles and mechanisms of the nervous system. The topics that we plan to develop include, but are not limited, to the following: (1) Pain - something that everyone experiences, but almost no one understands how and where it comes from. (2) Learning and Memory in relationship to both childhood development and healthy insights into the needs of the functioning brain, including sleep. (3) Interactions of the Immune System and the Nervous System. The partnership is realized by the synergistic, coordinated activity of three distinct groups: (A) museums and schools, (B) intellectual partners, (C) production partners. (A) The new project will include the Carnegie Science Center, joined by Winchester Thurston Independent School (enrollment 650) and Pittsburgh Public Schools (enrollment 29,000, nearly 60% African American), as well as special resources like the "Science Rocks" Mobile Lab (CTSI/CTSA). While complex health and science learning goals are typically studied in middle school, we have found that younger students are very capable of understanding and appreciating the underlying fundamental principles when presented in a manner that is both accessible and meaningful to the child. We believe that building a stronger fundamental understanding of neuroscience early on will dramatically enhance the learning that can be achieved later in middle school. (B) The intellectual and medical partnership include the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Pittsburgh (a CTSA); Chronic Pain Research Consortium at Duquesne University and the Center for Pain Research, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Additional colleagues from the Duquesne University School of Education, the Liberal Arts College Department of Multimedia, and the Center for Health Care Ethics will participate. Colleagues from the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh will also contribute their expertise. (C) The production partnership includes our staff of multimedia experts and the Entertainment Technology Center, Carnegie Mellon University. An external advisory committee will provide oversight and guidance. Independent evaluators including Rockman et al will work with us to contribute formative and summative evaluations of audience knowledge and attitudes, as well as a small-scale randomized-control trial.

描述（由申请人提供）：“神经科学教育的伙伴关系”将在与现代神经科学研究，神经健康和健康素养有关的特定问题上创建多媒体资源的收集。多媒体作品包括数字圆顶天文馆中呈现的外周和中枢神经系统细胞和组织的高清视频动画。节目还将作为DVD，伴侣视频游戏和博物馆售货亭的交互式媒体制作。这些故事的各个方面将通过逻辑和分支方案进行互动电子书故事，这些故事将用户传授神经系统的基本原理和机制。我们计划开发的主题包括但不限于以下内容：（1）痛苦 - 每个人都经历的痛苦，但几乎没有人知道它的来源和痛苦。 （2）学习和记忆与儿童发展的关系以及对功能大脑（包括睡眠）的需求的健康见解。 （3）免疫系统和神经系统的相互作用。伙伴关系是由三个不同群体的协同，协调的活动实现的：（a）博物馆和学校，（b）知识伙伴，（c）生产伙伴。 （a）新项目将包括卡内基科学中心，由温彻斯特·瑟斯顿独立学校（招生650）和匹兹堡公立学校（招生29,000，近60％的非裔美国人）以及“科学摇滚”移动实验室（CTSI/CTSA）加入。尽管通常在中学研究复杂的健康和科学学习目标，但我们发现年轻的学生非常有能力理解和欣赏基本的基本原理，而以对孩子来说既可以访问又有意义的方式。我们认为，早期对神经科学建立更深刻的基本理解，将大大增强在中学后期可以实现的学习。 （b）智力和医学伙伴关系包括匹兹堡大学的临床和转化科学研究所（A CTSA）；杜肯大学的慢性疼痛研究联盟和匹兹堡大学医学院疼痛研究中心。杜肯大学教育学院，多媒体文科学院和卫生保健道德中心的其他同事将参加。匹兹堡大学麦高万再生医学研究所的同事也将贡献他们的专业知识。 （c）生产伙伴关系包括我们多媒体专家的员工和卡内基·梅隆大学的娱乐技术中心。 An external advisory committee will provide oversight and guidance.包括Rockman等人在内的独立评估者将与我们合作，对受众知识和态度以及小规模的随机控制试验做出形成性和总结性评估。
