This grant provides fellowships and training for 10 graduate and 10 advanced undergraduate science students per year for three years. These students are serving as resources in K-12 science education through a teaching apprenticeship program that utilizes the UAB/public school partnership infrastructure, the facilities of the new McWane Science Center, and seven highly successful K-12 science outreach programs. Fellows are recruited from the entering and current graduate student pool (200+ students) in the biology, chemistry, physics, and basic health sciences departments, with an emphasis on students from underrepresented populations. Fellows are receiving training in learning theory and pedagogy, as advocated by the National Science Education Standards, and the specific outreach programs in which the fellows serve as apprentices. These include four ongoing outreach programs that deliver science equipment and curricula to K-12 students and three professional development programs for K-12 science teachers. A new hands-on molecular biology course is being developed and implemented in the public schools. Graduate fellows are providing expertise in science content and participating in the teaching, curriculum development, hands-on science instruction, and mentoring activities with K-12 teachers and students.

这项补助金每年为10名理科研究生和10名理科高级本科生提供研究金和培训，为期三年。这些学生通过利用UAB/公立学校合作基础设施，新McWane科学中心的设施和七个非常成功的K-12科学推广计划的教学学徒计划，在K-12科学教育中发挥资源作用。 研究员是从进入和当前的研究生池（200多名学生）在生物，化学，物理和基础健康科学部门招募，重点是来自代表性不足的人口的学生。研究员正在接受国家科学教育标准倡导的学习理论和教学法方面的培训，以及研究员作为学徒的具体推广方案。其中包括四个正在进行的外展计划，为K-12学生提供科学设备和课程，并为K-12科学教师提供三个专业发展计划。公立学校正在开发和实施一门新的分子生物学实践课程。研究生研究员提供科学内容的专业知识，并参与教学，课程开发，动手科学教学，并与K-12教师和学生的辅导活动。
