DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The Genetic Science Learning Center (GSLC) at the University of Utah will utilize its synergistic expertise in education, science and technology to educate secondary-level life science students and teachers about the role of NIH-funded research advances and clinical trials in improving health care. The Genome Science for Health project will develop four web-based curriculum supplement modules - on cell biology, developmental biology, molecular genetics, and clinical trials - that illustrate the continuum from basic research through translational science to clinical trials and into medical treatments; regenerative medicine and animal research will be addressed. The modules will employ interactive learning in a highly visual environment, an approach designed to appeal to the tech-savvy, digital-age students of today. At the same time, they will clearly address content in the national science education standards, ensuring that they are used by teachers. Two cohorts of teachers will participate in summer institutes, working with the GSLC staff to draft the modules, which will be developed using the GSLC's new, innovative Exploragraphic(tm) Web Design and Exploragraphic(tm) Web-based Curriculum Development Process. Formative feedback throughout the process from students, teachers and scientists will inform module development from initiation through pilot testing in classrooms and revision. The modules will be widely disseminated via the highly-visible, award-winning GSLC website (http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu), which received almost 3.7 million visits in 2005 from students, teachers and the public. Teacher professional development workshops and a summer institute will support dissemination of the curricula. The Genome Science for Health project goals are: GOAL 1: Educate secondary-level students about the role of NIH-funded basic research, translational science, and clinical trials in improving health care. GOAL 2: Engage high school life science teachers in learning about the Genome Science for Health module topics and in developing the curriculum frameworks and learning approaches to address them. GOAL 3: Prepare teachers to use the Genome Science for Health curricula with their students, through professional development courses and workshops at the local, regional and national levels. Relevance: The Genome Science for Health project will bring a new level of understanding to students, teachers and the public about the process by which medical treatments are developed, as well as their potential roles in this process as clinical trial participants. Because the clinical trials module will be disseminated via the web, it will be able to support the Community Engagement activities of NCRR's Institutional Clinical and Translational Science Awards across the United States.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目概述：犹他大学的基因科学学习中心（GSLC）将利用其在教育、科学和技术方面的协同专业知识，向中学生命科学专业的学生和教师讲授nih资助的研究进展和临床试验在改善卫生保健方面的作用。基因组科学促进健康项目将开发四个基于网络的课程补充模块——关于细胞生物学、发育生物学、分子遗传学和临床试验——说明从基础研究到转化科学再到临床试验和医学治疗的连续统一体；将讨论再生医学和动物研究。这些模块将在高度可视化的环境中采用交互式学习，这种方法旨在吸引当今精通技术的数字时代学生。同时，它们将明确处理国家科学教育标准中的内容，确保它们被教师使用。两组教师将参加暑期学院，与GSLC的工作人员一起起草模块，这些模块将使用GSLC新的、创新的exploragrapic （tm）网页设计和exploragrapic （tm）基于网络的课程开发过程来开发。在整个过程中，来自学生、教师和科学家的形成性反馈将为模块的开发提供信息，从启动到课堂上的试点测试和修订。这些模块将通过备受瞩目、屡获殊荣的GSLC网站（http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu）广泛传播，该网站在2005年吸引了近370万名学生、教师和公众访问。教师专业发展讲习班和一个夏季研究所将支助课程的传播。基因组科学促进健康项目的目标是：目标1：教育中学学生nih资助的基础研究、转化科学和临床试验在改善卫生保健方面的作用。目标2：让高中生命科学教师参与基因组科学健康模块主题的学习，并开发课程框架和学习方法来解决这些问题。目标3：通过地方、区域和国家各级的专业发展课程和讲习班，使教师能够与学生一起使用基因组科学促进健康课程。相关性：基因组科学促进健康项目将使学生、教师和公众对医学治疗的发展过程以及他们作为临床试验参与者在这一过程中的潜在作用有一个新的认识。由于临床试验模块将通过网络传播，它将能够支持全美NCRR机构临床和转化科学奖的社区参与活动。
