SUM PRGM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS/TEACHERS SPONSORED

康奈尔大学兽医学院提议联合 面向贫困高中生和高中教师的计划 他们教了相当数量的弱势学生。这个 针对高中生的暑期研究项目将取代我们的 研究学徒计划，自1981年以来一直由美国国立卫生研究院资助。 它的目标将继续是提高人们对 了解生物医学，特别强调兽医 医药和研究。十名高中生将工作六周 在一名教员的指导下进行各种研究项目。 导师的选择是基于他们对大学预科的承诺 科学教育，他们以前对该计划的成功贡献 和/或他们提供的研究机会的广度。这个 研究项目包括：分子生物学、传染病、 生殖生物学、流行病学、运动生理学、生物力学、 毒理学，细胞生物学，动物行为，寄生虫学，免疫学， 营养生物化学、遗传病和心脏生理学。 此外，学生们还将参加关于 与其他高中生一起学习兽医的各个方面。 将举行有关中学后教育的咨询会议，包括 选择大学和专业，准备成功的申请，方法 继续参与大学期间的研究，以及其他 对一个要上大学的学生的兴趣。学生们也将参加 在与项目总监的每周研讨会上讨论如何进行研究 是进行的，伦理问题，以及他们自己的研究项目如何 为推动该领域的知识进步做出贡献。作为这项工作的一部分 研讨会上，他们将以科学的方式写一篇论文 描述他们的研究的出版物。在节目结束时 学生们将就他们的研究做10-15分钟的陈述。 两名高中教师将参加为期四周的计划 每年夏天。除了在研究实验室工作外， 教师将参加康奈尔生物教师学院 (CIBT)。这包括分子生物学的讲座和实验室。 专为高中设计的。老师们将收到一台电脑和 调制解调器，并将参加计算机研讨会。他们将返回到 他们的教室里有十多个创新的实验室练习和 资金(来自CIBT)为他们的高中购买用品 实验室。他们将加入康奈尔大学之间正在进行的支持网络 大学教职员工和其他高中教师，并将可以访问 去了一个设备借阅图书馆。 由于参与者可能会住在离家很远的地方，住宿 将在康奈尔大学的住宅楼里提供。学生们将收到 食宿，这将由其他基金补贴，并将 与其他参加康奈尔大学暑期班的高中生一起住宿 上大学。这些教师将与其他教师一起住进宿舍。 在CIBT暑期学院。各种各样的教育，文化， 康奈尔大学的娱乐和社交活动也将向两人开放 学生和老师在暑假期间。

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.
