The objective of this proposal is to establish a program where high school minority students and K-12 teachers (both In-service and Pre- service) will participate in project-centered hands-on laboratory research in the biomedical sciences under the supervision of faculty members at California State University, Los Angeles, an urban minority institution. We propose to involve a cohort of 16 students, four In- service teachers, and four Pre-service teachers in this research endeavor each year. The intent is to provide the participating research apprentices a greater understanding of the biomedical sciences, career awareness, and scientific literacy at an early stage of their academic development. We are particularly interested in exposing the research apprentices to the connection between fundamental biomedical research and the improvement of health. The faculty mentors are all active biomedical researchers and have experience in working with minority students. Indeed, a significant number of the training faculty are members of minority groups or women). Their research is funded by a variety of sources including the NIH, the NSF, and the private sector, and have trained students through the NIH MARC and MBRS programs. The process for achIeving these goals involves placing minority high school students and teachers in the research laboratories of the faculty mentors where they would work alongside the mentor in an individual research project. The research apprentices will be exposed to an active research and academic environment which provides role models (most of the undergraduate and graduate research assistants in the are minority group members, and generally graduates of the same high schools which the apprentices currently attend. As mentioned earlier, many of the faculty mentors are also minority group members) and science enrichment activities which are designed to increase the confidence of the apprentices to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences. The high school students will be better prepared for college studies in biomedically- related science majors. The teachers will be trainees to update their science laboratory teaching skills so that these may be used in their own high school classes. This will include the adaptation of experiments for importation to the high school teaching environment, collaborative high school science projects and continued science partnerships between the high schools and California State University, Los Angeles.

该提案的目的是建立一个方案， 学校少数民族学生和K-12教师（在职和预科） 服务）将参加以项目为中心的动手实验室 在教师的监督下进行生物医学科学研究 洛杉矶加州州立大学的成员，一个城市少数民族 机构。我们建议涉及16名学生的队列，四个在- 在职教师和四名职前教师在这项研究奋进 每年.目的是提供参与研究的 学徒对生物医学科学、职业有更深入的了解 意识和科学素养在他们的学术早期阶段 发展我们特别感兴趣的是 基础生物医学研究与生物医学研究之间的联系， 改善健康状况。教师导师都是活跃的生物医学 研究人员，并有与少数民族学生的工作经验。 事实上，相当多的培训教员是 少数民族或妇女）。他们的研究得到了各种各样的资助， 来源包括NIH，NSF和私营部门，并已 通过NIH MARC和MBRS项目培训学生。 实现这些目标的过程包括将少数民族置于 学校的学生和教师在学院的研究实验室 他们将与导师一起工作， 研究项目。研究学徒将接触到一个活跃的 提供榜样的研究和学术环境（大多数 少数群体中的本科生和研究生研究助理 成员，一般毕业于同一所高中， 学徒们正在参加。如前所述，许多教师 导师也是少数群体成员）和科学丰富 旨在增强国际社会对联合国的信心的活动 学徒在生物医学科学追求事业。高中 学生将更好地为生物医学方面的大学学习做好准备， 相关科学专业。教师将接受培训， 科学实验教学技能，使这些可能会在自己的使用 高中课程这将包括调整实验， 导入到高中教学环境中，协作性高 学校科学项目和持续的科学伙伴关系之间的 高中和加州州立大学，洛杉矶。
