Our proposed "Precollege Enrichment Program" (PREP), which incorporates a strong focus in the chemical and biological sciences, was organized in response to the NIH RFA RR-94-0, "NCCR Minority Initiative: K-12 Teachers and High School Students". Our focus will be to include minority high school students as well as teachers in a summer research and learning experience at University of California, Santa Cruz. Our goal is to provide early instruction to eight minority high school students in basic research laboratory skills for eight weeks, with an emphasis in easing the transition from high school to the University through enrichment activities prior to freshman entry. This proposed project will also prepare three K-12 teachers (one preservice and two inservice), who are currently and/or planning on teaching in Santa Cruz county. We propose to continue a model program that has been ongoing at UCSC for the last decade, under the direction of Profs. Crews (Chemistry) and Ortiz (Biology), with participation by minority students and inservice teachers from high schools of the central California coastal region. Our overall goal is the improvement of science education in the region's classrooms. We have established a partnership with the local K-12 education community, designed to foster long term enhancement of science instruction in our public schools. The primary objective is to provide teachers with scientific literacy, a content rich curriculum and the teaching expertise to prepare and motivate underrepresented youth. The broad objective of the high school program component of this initiative is to draw increasing numbers of our region's young people into the study of the biological sciences and ultimately direct them to careers in biomedical research, biotechnology, and teaching.

我们提出的“大学预科强化计划”（PREP），其中包括 重点关注化学和生物科学，于 对 NIH RFA RR-94-0“NCCR 少数族裔倡议：K-12 教师”的回应 和高中生”。我们的重点是包括少数族裔高中生 学校学生和教师进行暑期研究和学习 加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的经历。我们的目标是 为八名少数民族高中生提供基础教育的早期指导 研究实验室技能八周，重点是缓解 通过充实从高中到大学的过渡 新生入学前的活动。该拟议项目还将 准备三名 K-12 教师（一名职前教师和两名在职教师），他们是 目前和/或计划在圣克鲁斯县教学。 我们建议继续在 UCSC 进行的一项示范项目 过去十年，在教授的指导下。船员（化学）和 Ortiz（生物学），少数族裔学生和在职学生参与 来自加州中部沿海地区高中的教师。 我们的总体目标是改善该地区的科学教育 教室。我们与当地的K-12建立了合作伙伴关系 教育社区，旨在促进科学的长期发展 我们公立学校的教学。 主要目标是提供 具有科学素养、内容丰富的课程和 教授专业知识，以培养和激励代表性不足的青年。 这 该举措高中课程部分的总体目标 是为了吸引越来越多的我们地区的年轻人参与这项研究 生物科学并最终引导他们从事以下职业 生物医学研究、生物技术和教学。
