DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is the response of three existing Summer Research Programs for Science Teachers at Columbia University, Stanford University, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and the nascent Summer Research Program at National Jewish Medical and Research Center-University of Colorado to NIAID's request for outreach programs that further advance its responsibilities to promote research, education, service, and public awareness of immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases. In its first four years, this program will elevate knowledge and understanding of 24 high school life science teachers, and through them, the interest, achievement and awareness of ~1600 under-represented and majority high school students in New York, Denver, the San Francisco Bay area, and Dallas of opportunities for intellectually challenging, humanly rewarding, and personally remunerative careers in these disciplines. It accomplishes these goals by providing in-service high school life sciences teachers with special conceptual and practical expertise in immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases and by preparing them to better communicate the dynamism and relevance of contemporary immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases research and clinical service to advancement of human health. The application documents that providing inner-city high school science teachers with opportunities to do hands-on immunology research for two consecutive summers under the mentorship of university faculty and to receive professional development that enables them to transfer to their classrooms and laboratories the concepts and skills acquired in these experiences increases student interest and achievement in science. The teachers will be required to develop an educational transfer plan which directly links their immunology research experience to local standards-based curriculum, including the development of new lab lessons. By increasing student acquaintance and knowledge in immunology, microbiology and infectious disease this program is likely to interest students in careers in these disciplines.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是对哥伦比亚大学、斯坦福大学、德克萨斯大学西南医学中心科学教师现有的三个夏季研究项目以及国家犹太医学研究中心新的夏季研究项目的回应 -科罗拉多大学应 NIAID 的要求开展外展计划，以进一步履行其促进免疫学、微生物学和传染病的研究、教育、服务和公众意识的责任。在头四年中，该计划将提高 24 名高中生命科学教师的知识和理解，并通过他们提高纽约、丹佛、旧金山约 1600 名代表性不足和占多数的高中生的兴趣、成就和意识。弗朗西斯科湾区和达拉斯在这些学科中提供智力挑战、人文回报和个人报酬丰厚的职业机会。它通过为在职高中生命科学教师提供免疫学、微生物学和传染病方面的特殊概念和实践专业知识，并让他们做好准备，更好地传达当代免疫学、微生物学和传染病研究和临床服务的活力和相关性来实现这些目标。以促进人类健康。该申请文件为市中心的高中科学教师提供了在大学教师的指导下连续两个暑假进行免疫学实践研究的机会，并获得专业发展，使他们能够将概念和技能转移到课堂和实验室在这些经历中获得的知识提高了学生对科学的兴趣和成就。教师将被要求制定一项教育转移计划，将他们的免疫学研究经验直接与当地基于标准的课程联系起来，包括开发新的实验课程。通过增加学生对免疫学、微生物学和传染病的了解和知识，该项目可能会引起学生对这些学科职业的兴趣。
