康奈尔大学兽医学院提出了一个联合方案
英文摘要
The College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University proposes a joint
program for disadvantaged high school students and high school teachers
who teach a significant number of disadvantaged students. The
summer research program for high school students will replace our
Research Apprentice Program, which has been funded by the NIH since 1981.
Its goal will continue to be to enhance interest in, and
awareness of, biomedical science with particular emphasis on veterinary
medicine and research. Ten high school students will work for six weeks
on various research projects under the mentorship of a faculty member.
Mentors have been selected on the basis of their commitment to precollege
science education, their previous successful contributions to the program
and/or the breadth of research opportunities that they offer. The
research projects include: molecular biology, infectious diseases,
reproductive biology, epidemiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics,
toxicology, cell biology, animal behavior, parasitology, immunology,
nutritional biochemistry, genetic diseases and cardiac physiology.
In addition, the students will attend lectures and demonstrations on
various aspects of veterinary medicine with other high school students.
Advising sessions will be held on post-secondary education, including
choice of college and major, preparing a successful application, ways to
continue to be involved in research at college, and other matters of
interest to a college-bound student. The students will also participate
in a weekly workshop with the Program Director to discuss how research
is conducted, ethical issues, and how their own research projects
contribute to advancing knowledge in the field. As part of this
workshop, they will write a paper in the style of a scientific
publication describing their research. At the end of the program
students will give a 10-15 minute presentation on their research.
Two high school teachers will participate in the program for four weeks
each summer. In addition to working in a research laboratory, the
teachers will participate in the Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers
(CIBT). This includes lectures on molecular biology, and laboratories
designed for high schools. The teachers will receive a computer and
modem and will participate in computer workshops. They will return to
their classrooms with more than ten innovative laboratory exercises and
funds (from CIBT) to purchase supplies for their high school
laboratories. They will join an ongoing support network between Cornell
University faculty and other high school teachers, and will have access
to an equipment lending library.
Since participants will probably be living away from home, accommodation
will be provided in Cornell residence halls. The students will receive
room and board, which will be subsidized from other funds, and will be
housed together with other high school students attending Cornell Summer
College. The teachers will be housed with other teachers participating
in the CIBT summer institute. A variety of educational, cultural,
recreational and social events at Cornell will also be available to both
students and teachers during the summer.
