DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Miami's Department of Psychology, in collaboration with the Miami Museum of Science & Planetarium, is requesting a five-year combined development and dissemination grant under NCRR's SEPA program. The purpose is to create a hands-on traveling exhibit and complementary classroom and web-based resources aimed at raising awareness among students, teachers, and the general public about cardiovascular disease risk factors and strategies for reducing these risks and improving personal health. The exhibit and educational resources will 1) serve to highlight the distribution of cardiovascular risk factors across Miami-Dade County's diverse population, 2) communicate the range of disorders associated with the risk factors, including obesity, diabetes, and coronary disease, and 3) communicate the critical importance of controlling cardiovascular risk through nutrition, activity and stress management. Besides raising public awareness about this public health challenge, the project will break new ground by demonstrating how an urban science museum, in collaboration with a research university, can serve as an environment for not only communicating but conducting scientific research. University of Miami graduate students and researchers will be involved in the development, training, implementation, data collection, and data analysis aspects of the exhibit, and through this participation will have access to the emerging data sets generated by the exhibit, informing theses, dissertations and scientific publications related to ongoing areas of cardiovascular research. The University and the Museum will also conduct a health education evaluation project to assess the effectiveness of a museum-based informal learning curriculum and its impact on student knowledge and behavior. The study will build on previous University of Miami research that has involved county wide blood pressure screening of 10th grade public school students, indicating substantial numbers with elevated blood pressure and attendant risk factors. The evaluation project will explore the extent to which 10th graders engaging in an enhanced museum experience and playing a "cardiovascular debate game" display greater gains in cardiovascular health knowledge and improvements in behavior than their peers. Following the development, pilot testing, and implementation of the exhibit, the Museum will disseminate the exhibit to a variety of alternative venues including libraries, local hospitals, high schools, and university settings. The project website will include continuously updated displays of the data collected at each venue, a downloadable version of the debate game, and links to related online public health resources. The Institute for Learning Innovation (ILI) will serve as the external evaluator for the project, responsible for front-end, formative and summative evaluation of the exhibit. ILI will also assess the extent to which the University- Museum collaboration provided an effective context for implementing health-related research.

描述（由申请人提供）：迈阿密大学心理学系与迈阿密科学与天文馆博物馆合作，要求根据NCRR的SEPA计划获得为期五年的合并发展和传播赠款。目的是创建一个动手的旅行展览，互补的教室和基于网络的资源，旨在提高学生，教师和公众对心血管疾病风险因素以及降低这些风险并改善个人健康的策略的认识。展览和教育资源将以1）为了突出迈阿密戴德县多样化人群中心血管危险因素的分布，2）传达与危险因素相关的疾病范围，包括肥胖，糖尿病和冠状动脉疾病，以及3）通过营养和压力管理控制心血管风险的关键重要性。除了提高公众对这一公共卫生挑战的认识外，该项目还将通过展示与研究大学合作的城市科学博物馆如何不仅可以作为沟通，而且进行科学研究的环境来打破新的基础。迈阿密大学的研究生和研究人员将参与展览的开发，培训，实施，数据收集和数据分析方面，并且通过此参与，将访问展览会产生的新兴数据集，以告知与心血管研究正在进行的领域有关的论文，论文和科学出版物。大学和博物馆还将进行一个健康教育评估项目，以评估基于博物馆的非正式学习课程及其对学生知识和行为的影响的有效性。这项研究将基于迈阿密大学的先前研究，该研究涉及县的10年级公立学校学生的血压筛查，表明血压升高和随之而来的危险因素。评估项目将探讨10年级学生参与增强的博物馆体验的程度，并玩“心血管辩论游戏”的程度比同伴比同龄人更大的心血管健康知识和行为改善。在展览的开发，试点测试和实施之后，博物馆将展览将展览传播到包括图书馆，当地医院，高中和大学环境在内的各种替代场所。该项目网站将包括在每个场地收集的数据，辩论游戏的可下载版本以及相关在线公共卫生资源的链接。学习创新研究所（ILI）将作为该项目的外部评估者，负责展览的前端，形成性和总结性评估。 ILI还将评估大学博物馆合作提供与健康相关研究的有效背景的程度。
