This proposal is a request for a Youth-based project that targets 120 urban high school youth (grades 9-11) in IT-based research in genetics and astrophysics, using the resources of the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH, public), Rockefeller University (private) and other institutions in the five boroughs of New York City. The recruitment plan targets cohort groups of 40 students per year including females and minorities with the physcially challenged students as a special target population. Students will be selected based on their passion and commitment. The project builds and extends on a prior pilot project that involved high school students in educational programs in the areas of genetics and astrophysics. Through these program partnerships have been created and will be part of the project. Students will learn to use advanced information technology as used in current scientific research rather than working through a series of classroom examples. The goal is for students to gain experiences with IT tools, develop specific scientific research skills, learn science concepts and increase awareness of and commitment to STEM areas in college and/or professional life.

该提案是对一个以青年为基础的项目的要求，该项目利用美国自然历史博物馆（AMNH，公立）、洛克菲勒大学（私立）和纽约市五个行政区的其他机构的资源，针对120名城市高中青年（9-11年级）进行遗传学和天体物理学方面的信息技术研究。 招生计划的目标群体为每年40名学生，包括女性和少数民族，有生理障碍的学生是一个特殊的目标群体。 学生将根据他们的热情和承诺被选中。 该项目建立并扩展了先前的试点项目，该项目涉及高中学生在遗传学和天体物理学领域的教育计划。通过这些方案，已经建立了伙伴关系，并将成为该项目的一部分。 学生将学习使用先进的信息技术在当前的科学研究中使用，而不是通过一系列的课堂例子工作。 目标是让学生获得使用IT工具的经验，培养特定的科学研究技能，学习科学概念，提高对大学和/或职业生活中STEM领域的认识和承诺。
