Project Summary The mission of this application is to develop a structured, on-site summer environmental health sciences research program for high school teachers and students from three rural, Indigenous communities in the Northern Plains. The proposed program is a collaboration between the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health (MSPH) Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) and Missouri Breaks Industries Research Inc. (MBIRI), an American Indian-owned research center serving these Indigenous communities and others in the Northern Plains. We propose the EARTH program (Environmental HeAlth Sciences Research for Teachers and High School Students), to establish a structured summer environmental health sciences (EHS) research program for high school teachers and students in these three communities. Research projects will be locally relevant and reflect the priorities and values of the communities, leveraging EHS research that is already taking place in these communities through collaboration with Columbia University and MBIRI researchers. One teacher-student group from each community, comprised of one science teacher and 2-4 highly motivated high school students, will be actively mentored through an EHS summer research project with support from expert research mentors from both Columbia University and MBIRI. Research mentor teams will provide structured workshops and educational training to teachers and students, and assist teams in developing and executing the research project over the course of the summer through structured meetings. EARTH teacher-student teams from all three communities will meet with the Program Directors and research mentors three times a week for educational seminars relevant to conducting EHS research, science communication, and research translation, and to share research progress updates in collaborative workshops. By the end of the summer period, teacher- student teams will have prepared formal scientific presentations and infographics of their projects to be presented at the EARTH Mini Symposium. Teams will also present their findings to the community advisory group at MBIRI, to their classrooms during the following school year, and at MBIRI’s annual Research Symposium in the following spring. Teachers will present their findings in virtual academic seminars at Columbia University. In addition to these research and communication experiences, students will receive substantial mentorship and support in preparing applications for undergraduate/training school programs and employment opportunities in EHS/STEM. Teachers will also receive support to develop curriculum programs that they can implement in their classrooms. By engaging high school students early in their training and exposing them to the broad range of environmental health disciplines, we seek to support students from Indigenous communities to pursue careers and further education in environmental health sciences.

项目概要 该应用程序的使命是开发结构化的现场夏季环境健康科学 为来自三个农村、土著社区的高中教师和学生开展的研究计划 拟议的项目是哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼学院之间的合作项目。 公共卫生 (MSPH) 环境健康科学 (EHS) 部和密苏里州破坏行业 Research Inc. (MBIRI)，一家美洲印第安人拥有的研究中心，为这些土著社区和 我们提出了 EARTH 计划（环境健康科学研究）。 教师和高中生），建立结构化的夏季环境健康科学（EHS） 这三个社区的高中教师和学生的研究计划将是研究项目。 与当地相关并反映社区的优先事项和价值观，利用已经开展的 EHS 研究 通过与哥伦比亚大学和 MBIRI 研究人员的合作，在这些社区进行。 每个社区的师生小组，由一名科学老师和2-4名积极进取的高中生组成 在专家的支持下，学校学生将通过 EHS 夏季研究项目得到积极指导 来自哥伦比亚大学和 MBIRI 的研究导师将提供结构化的指导。 为教师和学生举办研讨会和教育培训，并协助团队制定和执行 通过 EARTH 师生团队在夏季进行的研究项目。 来自所有三个社区的人员将每周与项目主管和研究导师会面三次， 与开展 EHS 研究、科学传播和研究翻译相关的教育研讨会， 并在合作研讨会上分享最新的研究进展。 学生团队将准备正式的科学演示和要展示的项目的信息图表 在 EARTH 迷你研讨会上，团队还将向 MBIRI 的社区咨询小组展示他们的发现， 在下一学年的课堂上，以及在接下来的 MBIRI 年度研究研讨会上 春季，教师们还将在哥伦比亚大学的虚拟学术研讨会上展示他们的发现。 通过这些研究和交流经验，学生将获得实质性的指导和支持 准备 EHS/STEM 本科/培训学校课程和就业机会的申请。 教师还将获得开发可在课堂上实施的课程计划的支持。 通过让高中生尽早参与培训并使他们接触广泛的环境 健康学科，我们寻求支持原住民社区的学生追求职业生涯并进一步发展 环境健康科学教育。
