MINORITY HS STUDENT RESEARCH APPRENTICE PROGRAM

目前的提议是为了继续一项在 南加州大学颅面分子生物学中心 生物学和洛杉矶联合学区的弗朗西斯科布拉沃 医学磁铁高中目前的计划已经进行了 四年以上，并提供一个基本的全年经验， 为布拉沃高中的高中生进行生物医学研究。 目前的计划有两个阶段;一个阶段是全职实验室 在夏季和第二阶段的三个月的研究经验 是布拉沃高中的一个生物医学研究班， 在研究实验室进行研究，每周五个下午， 在整个学年。全日制暑期阶段得到了支持 美国国立卫生研究院少数民族高中学生研究学徒计划， 今后将得到本提案的支持。兼职 学年计划是每个学生的高中的一部分 课程。我们已经协调了两个阶段，使学生有一个 在暑假集中研究经验，学习必要的 研究程序和方法，使他们在高中期间， 生物医学研究课程，他们可以完成富有成效的研究 项目和经验的兴奋，完成一个原始的研究 实验这种协调使一些学生能够继续 他们多年来的研究项目和数据， 已被列入出版物摘要， 介绍。参与的学生在他们的 大学教育，许多人已经返回继续他们的研究， CCMB在暑假期间目前的建议将继续跟踪 学生在夏季和学年及以下 高中毕业学生谁进行了研究，在 CCMB已就读于优秀大学，并进入专业在 以理工科为重我们相信，目前的建议将继续增加 少数民族学生主修理科和选修 以科学为基础的职业

The present proposal is submitted to continue a program developed between the University of Southern California Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology and the Los Angeles Unified School District's Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School. The present program has been underway for more than four years and provides a year-round experience in basic biomedical research for the high school students at Bravo High School. The current program has two phases; one phase is a full-time laboratory research experience for three months in the summer and the second phase is a Biomedical Research Class in Bravo High School that places students in research laboratories to conduct research five afternoons a week throughout the school year. The full-time summer phase has been supported by a NIH Minority High School Student Research Apprentice Program and will be supported in the future by the present proposal. The part-time academic year program is a portion of each student's high school curriculum. We have coordinated the two phases so that students have a concentrated research experience during the summer to learn the necessary research procedures and approaches so that during their high school Biomedical Research curriculum they can accomplish a productive research project and experience the excitement of completing an original research experiment. This coordination has permitted several students to continue their research projects for several years and the data that has been accumulated has been included in publications abstracts and presentations. The participating students have been tracked during their college education and many have returned to continue their research in CCMB during summer vacations The present proposal will continue to track students both during the summer and academic year and following graduation from high school. Students who have conducted research in the CCMB have enrolled in excellent universities and entered major in the sciences. We believe that the current proposal will continue to increase the numbers of minority students majoring in the sciences and selecting a science-based career.
