This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Mentor two 6th grade girls from the Durham public school system by providing tours of the Center and providing projects that deal with small animal imaging. The girls presented their projects to graduate students in the Center. BOOST (Building Opportunities and Overtures in Science and Technology) is a multi-dimensional program for elementary and middle school teachers and students, designed to excite under-represented minority students about science and inspire them to pursue careers in medicine and other biomedical professions. http://www.duke.edu/~dbc4/boost/faq.html BOOST Goals This unique partnership between Duke University Medical Center, Durham Public Schools, and the North Carolina School of Science and Math aims to: 1. improve the science performance of minority students 2. upgrade the content of the pre-college science curriculum 3. ultimately increase the numbers of students prepared for professional education in the advanced sciences Programs offered: For 5th and 6th Grade Students: Classroom activities, research projects under the guidance of mentors, field trips, a summer science workshop, and activities designed to smooth the transition from elementary to middle school.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 通过提供中心的图尔斯之旅和提供处理小动物成像的项目，指导来自达勒姆公立学校系统的两名六年级女孩。女孩们向中心的研究生介绍了她们的项目。 BOOST（Building Opportunities and Overtures in Science and Technology）是一个面向中小学教师和学生的多维计划，旨在激发少数民族学生对科学的兴趣，并激励他们从事医学和其他生物医学专业。http://www.duke.edu/~dbc4/boost/faq.html BOOST目标 杜克大学医学中心、达勒姆公立学校和北卡罗来纳州科学与数学学院之间的这种独特合作关系旨在： 1.提高少数民族学生的科学成绩 2.更新大学预科科学课程的内容 3.最终增加准备接受高等科学专业教育的学生人数 提供的课程： 对于五年级和六年级的学生：课堂活动，导师指导下的研究项目，实地考察，暑期科学研讨会，以及旨在从小学到中学顺利过渡的活动。
