With its applications for genetic screening and recombinant pharmaceuticals, and its potential for use in gene therapy, the information obtained by the Human Genome Project will have a profound impact on public health. The long term objective of Project 7 is to help prepare high school teachers, their students, and the general public in California to make educated decisions on the personal, ethical, and social questions raised by the work of the Human Genome Project in medicine and other areas that will affect their lives. This objective will be achieved by combining two proven projects into an integrated educational outreach program designed to provide people with a working understanding the science behind, the applications of, and the social/ethical and public policy issues raised by the Genome Project. The educational program consists of nine specific aims. The first specific aim is to develop and field test in high school classrooms a Human Genome Curriculum that integrates laboratory experiments and ethical decision-making to address the educational goals described above. The objective of the second, third, an fourth specific aims is to support implementation of the Human Genome Curriculum by providing teachers with the elements necessary for them to present the curriculum to students: professional in-service education, access to materials and equipment, and classroom assistance from program personnel and local scientists. The fifth specific aim is to help develop science education partnerships that will disseminate and sustain implementation of the Human Genome Curriculum well beyond the scope of this proposal. The sixth specific aim is to bring high school students and the general public on interactive tours of the Stanford Human Genome Center in order to de- mystify scientific research and to enhance their understanding of human Genome Project science. The seventh, eighth, and ninth specific aims address the educational goals described above for the general public, by providing a series of classes and lectures, by adapting the Human Genome Curriculum for use in two popular science museums (The Exploratorium in San Francisco and the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose), and by holding school open houses where students teach their parents what they have learned using the Human Genome Curriculum.

随着其在基因筛选和重组中的应用， 药物，及其在基因治疗中的应用潜力，信息 人类基因组计划获得的信息将对公众产生深远的影响。 健康 项目7的长期目标是帮助准备高 学校教师、学生和加州公众 在个人、道德和社会问题上做出明智的决定 人类基因组计划在医学和其他领域的工作 这将影响他们的生活 这一目标将通过结合 两个经过验证的项目纳入一个综合教育推广计划 旨在为人们提供一个有效的科学理解， 背后，应用，以及社会/道德和公共政策 基因组计划提出的问题。 教育计划包括 九个具体目标。 第一个具体目标是开发和实地测试， 高中课堂人类基因组课程，整合实验室 实验和道德决策，以解决教育目标 上面描述 第二、第三、第四个具体目标 目的是支持人类基因组课程的实施， 为教师提供必要的元素，使他们能够提出 学生课程：专业在职教育，获得 材料和设备，以及项目人员的课堂帮助 当地科学家。 第五个具体目标是帮助发展科学 教育伙伴关系，将传播和持续执行 人类基因组课程远远超出了本提案的范围。 的 第六个具体目标是使高中生和广大公众 参加斯坦福大学人类基因组中心的互动式图尔斯之旅， 使科学研究神秘化，提高他们对人类 基因组计划科学。 第七、八、九个具体目标 为公众实现上述教育目标， 提供一系列的课程和讲座，通过调整人类基因组， 在两个科普博物馆（旧金山探索博物馆）使用的课程 弗朗西斯科和圣何塞的创新科技博物馆），并通过举办 学校开放日，学生们在那里教他们的父母他们所拥有的 使用人类基因组课程学习。
