Project Abstract The proposed Collaborative Research Experiences for Students and Teachers (CREST) program addresses systemic changes needed to overcome the problem of attracting young students to science, followed by their anticipated entry into research and healthcare careers. The CREST program will focus on Harrisburg (Pennsylvania state capital) area high schools with large populations of minority students who, at present, are underrepresented in the research and healthcare arenas. The program will provide carefully selected 9th grade students (a total of 100 for the 5 years) with summer research experiences during three consecutive years of their high school education. The first two summer sessions (between the 9th and 10th and the 10th and 11th grades) will serve as an introduction to inquiry-based biomedical science and will lead to the performance of a supervised research project within research laboratories at the Penn State College of Medicine between the 11th and 12th grades. These students will be guided by College of Medicine faculty research mentors working in collaboration with undergraduate student teaching assistants from both nearby Lincoln University (a Historically Black University) and from two already established summer undergraduate research programs at the College of Medicine. These teaching assistants will further serve as role models for the high school student participants. Theproposed CREST program will focus equally on high school students and science teachers (total of 20 of the latter for the 5 year period) by providing professional development programs through Summer Science Academies in which the teachers will incorporate laboratory experiences into their everyday teaching programs and earn graduate credit. The collegial relationships among the students, their high school teachers, and the research mentors will be sustained throughout the academic year by seminars, novel laboratory exercises in the high schools based on the combined experiences of the participating CREST students and teachers, and programs at the WhitakerCenterfor Science and the Arts in downtown Harrisburg. The Whitaker Center programs will be designed to celebrate the achievements of the students and their teachers, and to inform the public of advances in science and the critical role of clinical trials. External evaluators will compare outcome measures of the CREST students with those of students not participating in the CREST program. This program represents a continuing collaboration among school districts in southcentral Pennsylvania, the Penn State College of Medicine(thelaboratory performancesite), Penn State Harrisburg Capital College (the teacher-focused development site), Lincoln University, and several community-based organizations, including the Whitaker Center, concerned about the quality of scienceeducation. Project Narrative The CREST program is designed to stimulate the interest and capacity of high school students, especially those from underrepresented groups, to pursue careers in science. The program provides opportunity for science teachers to improve science teaching by updating content and pedagogy. The public will be informed of advances in biomedical and clinical research, including the concern for research ethics and protection of human participants in clinical research.

项目摘要 学生和教师的合作研究经验（CREST）计划 需要进行系统的改革，以克服吸引年轻学生学习科学的问题， 预期进入研究和医疗保健事业。CREST计划将重点放在哈里斯堡 （宾夕法尼亚州首府）地区高中，少数民族学生人数众多，目前， 在研究和医疗保健领域代表性不足。该计划将提供精心挑选的9年级 学生（5年共100名）在连续三年的暑期研究经验，他们的 高中学历。前两个夏季会议（9日和10日和10日和11日年级之间）将 作为一个基于探究的生物医学科学的介绍，并将导致一个监督的性能 在宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院的研究实验室内进行的一项研究项目， 成绩这些学生将由医学院的研究导师合作指导 与附近的林肯大学（一所历史上的黑人大学）的本科生助教一起工作 以及医学院两个已经建立的暑期本科生研究项目。这些 教学助理将进一步成为高中学生参与者的榜样。建议的CREST 该计划将同样关注高中学生和科学教师（5年内总共有20名科学教师 通过夏季科学学院提供专业发展计划， 教师将把实验室的经验融入他们的日常教学计划，并获得研究生学分。 学生，他们的高中老师和研究导师之间的学院关系将是 在整个学年中，通过研讨会，在高中的基础上进行新颖的实验室练习， 结合参与CREST学生和教师的经验，以及惠塔克中心的项目， 科学和艺术在哈里斯堡市中心。惠特克中心的计划将旨在庆祝 学生和他们的老师的成就，并告知公众在科学和关键的进步， 临床试验的作用。外部评估人员将比较CREST学生的成果指标与 不参加CREST计划的学生。该计划代表了一个持续的合作， 宾夕法尼亚州中南部的学区，宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院（实验室所在地）， 宾夕法尼亚州立大学哈里斯堡资本学院（教师为重点的发展网站），林肯大学，和几个 社区组织，包括惠特克中心，关注科学教育的质量。项目叙述 CREST计划旨在激发高中学生的兴趣和能力，特别是那些 从代表性不足的群体，追求科学事业。该计划为科学提供了机会 教师通过更新内容和教学法来改善科学教学。公众将被告知预付款 在生物医学和临床研究中，包括对研究伦理和保护人类参与者的关注 在临床研究中。
