The Exploratorium is testing new methods of using Internet-based programming to increase the public understanding of current scientific research. Exploratorium staff, working with a group of advisors, will assess the current status of projects that focus on conveying information about research. They then will develop and test a prototype website. The exploratory research will examine such questions as:What information about research is important and critical to convey to the public?How do you build a Web presence that can rapidly accommodate new findings?What is an appropriate oversight process to assure inclusion of appropriate research?What are sufficient update intervals?How does such a Web site build an audience?How can the Web effort be coordinated with other PUR projects?How can the Web site provide opportunities for public input and discussion?How do you develop buy-in and participation from researchers?Is the additional interpretation/annotation sufficient to give the public a deeper level of understanding?These planning and prototyping efforts will be coordinated with other simultaneous Public Understanding of Research planning projects.

探索博物馆正在测试使用基于互联网的编程的新方法，以增加公众对当前科学研究的理解。探索博物馆的工作人员将与一组顾问合作，评估专注于传达研究信息的项目的当前状况。然后，他们将开发和测试一个原型网站。探索性研究将考察这样的问题：哪些关于研究的信息对向公众传达是重要和关键的？如何建立一个能够迅速适应新发现的网络存在？什么是适当的监督程序以确保纳入适当的研究？多长的更新间隔？这样的网站如何建立受众？网站的努力如何与其他PUR项目协调？网站如何提供公众意见和讨论的机会？如何培养研究人员的认同和参与？额外的解释/注释足以让公众有更深层次的理解吗？这些规划和原型工作将与其他同时进行的研究规划项目的公众理解相协调。
