DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM)--in collaboration with scientists at the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy and Academic Health Center; the Minnesota Department of Health, and the Minnesota Antibiotic Resistance Collaborative--requests a Phase I/II five-year SEPA grant of $1,250,000 to develop a traveling museum exhibition and web site that highlight the fascinating science behind the outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases that are changing and shaping our way of life in the 21st century. Topics to be covered will include the emergence of new illnesses like SARS and Avian Influenza and the re-emergence of drug-resistant infections that were once curable but now can be fatal. An Infectious Disease Advisory Panel and Content Experts representing the collaborating institutions listed above and others will guide museum staff in the development of these exhibits and programs. EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES will be a 1,500 square-foot special exhibition to be installed in SMM's Human Body Gallery in spring 2007. After an 18-month presentation, it will begin a tour to five medium size science centers over two years. In addition to the exhibition and its complementary web site, special programming will be targeted to reach specific audiences, including: K-12 school groups visiting the museum (a user guide with on-line pre- and post-visit activities aligned with state and National Science Education Standards); K-12 classroom teachers (Curriculum Enhancement Institutes); and outreach programs serving after-school programs for children in under-served inner-city neighborhoods. A focus on areas of ongoing research will be used to highlight how far we have come in understanding the complex world of infectious diseases and how far we must go in treatment or elimination of present day health threats.

描述（由申请人提供）： 明尼苏达科学博物馆（SMM）-与明尼苏达大学传染病研究和政策中心以及学术健康中心的科学家合作;明尼苏达州卫生部和明尼苏达州抗生素耐药性合作组织--要求第一/第二阶段为期五年的SEPA拨款1250美元，2000美元，用于开发一个流动博物馆展览和网站，突出新出现和重新出现的传染病爆发背后的迷人科学，这些传染病正在改变和塑造我们世纪的生活方式。将涵盖的主题将包括SARS和禽流感等新疾病的出现，以及曾经可以治愈但现在可能致命的耐药感染的重新出现。代表上述合作机构和其他机构的传染病咨询小组和内容专家将指导博物馆工作人员开发这些展览和项目。 新兴的传染病将是一个1,500平方英尺的特别展览将安装在SMM的人体画廊在2007年春天。经过18个月的介绍，它将开始参观五个中型科学中心超过两年。除了展览及其补充网站外，还将针对特定受众制作特别节目，包括：K-12学校团体参观博物馆（用户指南，包括符合州和国家科学教育标准的在线访问前和访问后活动）; K-12课堂教师（课程改进机构）;和外展计划，为服务不足的市中心社区的儿童提供课后计划。 对正在进行的研究领域的重点将被用来强调我们在了解传染病的复杂世界方面已经走了多远，以及我们在治疗或消除当今健康威胁方面必须走多远。
