With its applications for genetic screening and recombinant pharmaceuticals, and its potential for use in gene therapy, the information obtained by the Genome Project will have a profound impact on public health. The long-term objective of this grant is to help enable the general public in San Francisco to make educated decisions on the personal, ethical, and social questions raised by the work of the Genome Project in medicine and other areas that will affect their lives. This objective will be achieved by an educational outreach program designed to provide the public with a basic, working understanding of the science behind, applications of, and ethical issues raised by the Genome Project. The educational program consists of four specific aims. The first aim is to develop and present in high school classrooms a curriculum consisting of laboratory experiments and "dry-lab" exercises using three-dimensional models that addresses the educational goals described above. The second aim is to reach members of the public outside the high schools by developing interactive exhibits and laboratory demonstrations about the Genome Project for use in a "hands-on" public science museum, The Exploratorium. The third aim is to increase the depth and range of public understanding of Genome Project-related subjects by providing lectures and discussions on a variety of topics of interest to groups including genetic disease support organizations, adult education classes, and high school and junior college students. The fourth aim is to demystify scientific research by bringing members of the general public into a working laboratory to talk with Genome Project scientists and to manipulate laboratory equipment in an interactive tour of the Human Genome Mapping Center at the University of California, San Francisco.

及其在基因筛选和重组中的应用 药物及其在基因治疗中的应用潜力， 基因组计划获得的信息将产生深远的影响 对公众健康的影响。这笔赠款的长期目标是 帮助旧金山的普通公众接受教育 对个人、道德和社会问题的决定 基因组计划在医学和其他领域的工作 会影响他们的生活。这一目标将通过一个 教育外展计划旨在为公众提供 对应用程序背后的科学有基本的、实用的理解 以及由基因组计划引起的伦理问题。这个 教育计划由四个具体目标组成。第一个目标 是制定并在高中课堂上展示一门课程 由实验室实验和“干实验室”练习组成 解决教育目标的三维模型 如上所述。第二个目标是接触到公众 在高中之外，通过开发互动展品和 关于基因组计划的实验室演示 亲力亲为的公共科学博物馆，探索馆。第三个目标 是为了增加公众对 通过提供讲座和提供基因组计划相关主题 就小组感兴趣的各种主题进行讨论，包括 遗传病支持组织，成人教育课程，以及 高中生和大专学生。第四个目标是 揭开科学研究的神秘面纱 公众进入工作实验室与基因组计划对话 科学家并在交互中操纵实验室设备 参观密歇根大学人类基因组图谱中心 加利福尼亚州，旧金山。
