The Miami Museum of Science, in collaboration with University of Miami's (UM) School of Medicine, is requesting a Phase II grant to support national replication of the Biomedical Training, Research and College Prep (BioTrac) Project. The goal of Phase I, now in its final year of funding, was to develop a replicable model aimed at increasing the numbers of underserved students entering the biomedical research pipeline. Phase I focused on priority areas under Healthy People 2000 reflecting health issues of interest to the community as well as resources available through UM's Jackson Memorial Medical Center. Comprising hands-on project-based programming, career awareness activities, college prep, research internships and college residential experiences, the project has served 98 students to date, of whom 88% are low-income and 96% reside in homes where English is the second language. Of the 43 seniors who have graduated to date, 42 are enrolled in post-secondary studies. Of these, 52% have chosen a science-related major, and of these, 73% have chosen a biomedical course of study. Under the proposed Phase II project, the Museum will establish BioTrac as a national demonstration site, extending BioTrac strategies and materials to formal and informal science institutions (ISis) through site-based institutes, distance-learning opportunities and professional conferences and publications. Continued delivery of BioTrac programming at the demonstration site will also further increase the number of underrepresented students entering the biomedical research pipeline, and allow for further programming aimed at increasing public understanding of Healthy People 2010 priorities and biomedical research. The Museum will target ISis with youth programs to attend a 3-day replication institute, reaching a minimum of 30 ISis during the grant. Through participation in national conferences and professional development sponsored by the Association of Science-Technology Centers, representing 340 ISis, the model has the capacity to impact small, medium, and large science centers nationwide. The model will also be adaptable for use by the other 123 Upward Bound Math & Science Centers engaged in science enrichment programming for underserved youth. Finally, elements of the model will be suitable for extracurricular school-based science clubs and high school magnet programs focused on biomedicine, further extending the potential impact of the model to school districts nationwide.

迈阿密科学博物馆与迈阿密大学（UM）医学院合作，正在申请第二阶段赠款，以支持全国复制生物医学培训，研究和大学预科（BioTrac）项目。第一阶段的目标是开发一种可复制的模式，旨在增加进入生物医学研究管道的服务不足的学生的数量。第一阶段的重点是2000年健康人的优先领域，反映了社区感兴趣的健康问题以及通过UM的杰克逊纪念医疗中心提供的资源。包括实践项目为基础的编程，职业意识活动，大学预科，研究实习和 该项目已为98名学生提供服务，其中88%是低收入家庭，96%的学生居住在英语为第二语言的家庭。在迄今为止毕业的43名高年级学生中，有42人在中学后学习。其中，52%选择了科学相关专业，其中，73%选择了生物医学课程。在拟议的第二阶段项目下，博物馆将把BioTrac建立为国家示范点，通过设在现场的研究所、远程学习机会和专业会议及出版物，将BioTrac战略和材料推广到正式和非正式科学机构。在演示中继续提供BioTrac编程 该网站还将进一步增加进入生物医学研究管道的代表性不足的学生人数，并允许进一步规划，旨在提高公众对2010年健康人优先事项和生物医学研究的理解。博物馆将针对有青年项目的ISIS参加为期3天的复制研究所，在赠款期间至少达到30个ISIS。通过参加由代表340个ISIs的科学技术中心协会主办的全国会议和专业发展，该模型有能力影响全国的小型，中型和大型科学中心。该模型也将适用于其他123个向上的数学和科学中心，这些中心为服务不足的青年提供科学丰富的方案。最后，该模型的元素将适用于课外学校为基础的科学俱乐部和高中磁铁计划集中在生物医学，进一步扩大该模型的潜在影响，全国学区。
