DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Gaining Options: Girls Investigate Real Life through Health related STEM Disciplines Significance. Health care system received greater attention. Efforts to reduce health disparities continue to be surrounded with controversy. While political battles continue to be fought at the highest levels, members of disadvantaged social groups such as the poor, racial/ethnic minorities, women, or other groups who have persistently experienced social disadvantage or discrimination continue to experience substandard health and/or greater health risks than more advantaged social groups. The representation of diverse populations in health related STEM disciplines, health professions, and ability to eliminate disparities in the quality and availability of health care for underserved populations. Objective and Approach. Our proposed intervention focuses specifically on high school girls, and in particular on girls of color. Our long-term objective is to increase the number of girls entering college from the Detroit Metropolitan area with both the capacity and the intent to pursue STEM related health disciplines and to contribute to our national understanding of how to remedy and mitigate the barriers faced by underrepresented students. To achieve this objective we will employ Summer Academies, Academic Year Cafis, for girls and parents and Continuous Mentoring Support through social networking sites and current technology to accomplish the following aims; 1) Increase and Sustain Engagement of High School Girls in health related STEM disciplines; 2) Build Capacity to Pursue STEM Disciplines by increasing high Ao-dge of the personal and academic skills necessary for college admission in STEM related health fields 3) Provide Continuity throughout High School by connecting high school girls to role models and mentors in health related STEM disciplines. Innovation. The proposed intervention is creative and innovative for several reasons. First and foremost, Gaining Options: Girls Investigate Real Life through Health related STEM Disciplines is not a single dose intervention strategy but rather a systematic support system. Second, our project will bring together a well qualified team of faculty, staff and students from across the Wayne State University Campus. Third, we will target not only girls in grades 8-12, but also provide support for parents. Fourth, we will cap current technology to build peer support, mentoring, and social support from undergraduate preceptors to sustain momentum during the academic year after. Environment. University, Wayne State occupies a unique niche as a catalyst for investigating and helping to resolve myriad issues facing residents of the contemporary urban environment and is therefore well suited for our proposed intervention. Overall Impact. The impact of the proposal lies in the recruitment of under-represented populations, particularly African-Americans and girls, to health related STEM activities; and the promise for future dissemination and scalability.

描述（由申请人提供）：获得选择：女孩通过健康相关的STEM学科研究现实生活的意义。卫生保健制度得到更多关注。减少健康差距的努力仍然充满争议。虽然在最高层继续进行政治斗争，但穷人、种族/少数民族、妇女或其他长期处于社会不利地位或受到歧视的群体等处境不利的社会群体成员的健康状况仍然低于条件较好的社会群体和/或面临更大的健康风险。不同人群在卫生相关STEM学科、卫生专业中的代表性，以及消除服务不足人群在卫生保健质量和可用性方面的差异的能力。目标和方法。我们建议的干预措施主要针对高中女生，尤其是有色人种的女生。我们的长期目标是增加从底特律大都会区进入大学的女孩的数量，她们有能力和意愿去追求STEM相关的健康学科，并有助于我们国家理解如何补救和减轻代表性不足的学生所面临的障碍。为了实现这一目标，我们将为女孩和家长提供暑期学院、学年Cafis，并通过社交网站和现有技术提供持续的指导支持，以实现以下目标：1)增加和维持高中女生对健康相关STEM学科的参与；2)通过提高STEM相关健康领域大学入学所需的高水平个人和学术技能来培养追求STEM学科的能力3)通过将高中女生与健康相关STEM学科的榜样和导师联系起来，在整个高中提供连续性。创新。由于几个原因，拟议的干预措施具有创造性和创新性。首先，获得选择：女孩通过健康相关的STEM学科调查现实生活不是单一剂量的干预策略，而是一个系统的支持系统。其次，我们的项目将汇集来自韦恩州立大学校园的优秀教师、员工和学生团队。第三，我们不仅会针对8-12年级的女生，还会为家长提供支持。第四，我们将限制现有技术，以建立同伴支持、指导和本科生导师的社会支持，以便在下一学年保持势头。环境。韦恩州立大学作为调查和帮助解决当代城市环境中居民面临的无数问题的催化剂，占据了一个独特的利基，因此非常适合我们提出的干预。整体的影响。该提案的影响在于招募代表性不足的人群，特别是非洲裔美国人和女孩，参加与健康相关的STEM活动；以及对未来传播和可扩展性的承诺。
