The overall goal of the planned precollege science enrichment program is to increase the pool of minority precollege students who are motivated and academically prepared to pursue careers in biomedical research and the health professions. The program will target minority high school students and K-12 inservice and preservice teachers who teach (or plan to teach) in schools with a significant number of minority students. The main component of the program will be a seven-week summer science research experience for students and teachers under the supervision of active biomedical researchers who will act as mentors. The students will receive a meaningful individualized hands-on laboratory-based research experience with the objective of conveying to them that science is fun and nonthreatening so that they would be stimulated to take more science courses. A similar summer research experience will be provided to the teachers to update and enhance their technological and methodological knowledge so that they can bring a sense of excitement to the classroom. The research experiences will be supplemented with additional science enrichment activities for both students and teachers during the summer and the academic year. At the end of the summer, participants will give oral presentations and submit written reports of what they had accomplished during the summer. Through these presentations, students will gain insight about the demands of the work place and their own ability to succeed. Intensive mentoring will be emphasized throughout the summer and the academic year. Students will be provided instruction to enhance their knowledge of biomedical sciences and their problem-solving skills. Teachers will be given assistance in designing simple modern laboratory experiments for classroom use. Preservice teachers will be provided research experiences during the summer and the academic year. They will receive college credits which will count toward their certification program. Mentors will visit high schools with large minority enrollment to give lectures/demonstrations and to recruit participants for the succeeding summer. The long-range goal of the program is to develop linkages between K-12 teachers, high school students and Wright State biomedical researchers. Minority biomedical scientists from Wright State University and private sector organizations will act as role models and will discuss with students career paths, requirements and opportunities. Efforts will be made to involve parents in the program as much as possible. Follow-up surveys of the participants will be an essential component of the program. At three-month intervals, students will be surveyed as to changes in their attitudes toward science, academic performance, professional and career goals and choices. They will be tracked through high school, college and if, resources permit, through graduate/professional schools.

计划中的大学前科学充实计划的总体目标是 增加少数民族预科学生的数量， 并在学术上做好了从事生物医学研究的准备， 卫生专业。该计划将针对少数民族高中 学生和K-12在职和兼职教师谁教（或计划 在少数民族学生人数较多的学校任教。的 该计划的主要组成部分将是一个为期七周的夏季科学 学生和教师的研究经验的监督下， 活跃的生物医学研究人员将担任导师。学生将 接受有意义的个性化动手实验室研究 目的是向他们传达科学是有趣的 不具威胁性，这样他们就会受到刺激， 课程类似的夏季研究经验将提供给 教师更新和提高他们的技术和方法 知识，使他们能够带来一种兴奋感的课堂。 研究经验将补充额外的科学 在暑假期间为学生和教师举办的丰富活动 和学年。在夏季结束时，参与者将 口头报告并提交书面报告， 在夏天完成。通过这些演讲，学生 将深入了解工作场所和他们自己的需求 成功的能力。强化辅导将在整个 夏季和学年。学生将获得指导， 提高他们的生物医学科学知识和解决问题的能力 skills.教师将得到帮助，设计简单的现代 实验室实验供课堂使用。教师将在 在夏季和学年期间提供研究经验。 他们将获得大学学分，这将计入他们的 认证计划。导师们将参观拥有大型 少数民族招生进行讲座/示范，并招募 参加者为夏季。的长远目标 该计划旨在发展K-12教师，高中 学生和赖特州立大学的生物医学研究人员。 少数族裔生物医学科学家来自赖特州立大学和私立 业界组织将作为榜样，与 学生的职业道路，要求和机会。着力 让家长尽可能多地参与到项目中来。后续行动 对参与者的调查将是 程序.每隔三个月，学生将接受调查， 他们对科学的态度，学习成绩， 专业和职业目标和选择。他们会被追踪到 高中、大学，如果资源允许，通过 研究生院/专业学校。
