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(由申请者提供)：获得选择：女孩通过与健康相关的STEM学科调查现实生活的意义。医疗保健系统受到了更多的关注。缩小健康差距的努力继续受到争议。虽然最高层的政治斗争仍在继续，但弱势社会群体的成员，如穷人、种族/族裔少数群体、妇女或其他长期遭受社会劣势或歧视的群体，继续经历着比更有利的社会群体更不符合标准的健康和/或更大的健康风险。不同人群在与卫生有关的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获得性方面的差距的能力。目标和方法。我们提议的干预措施特别关注高中女孩，特别是有色人种女孩。我们的长期目标是增加来自底特律大都市区的女孩进入大学的人数，既有能力也有意愿学习与STEM相关的健康学科，并促进我们全国对如何补救和减轻代表不足学生面临的障碍的理解。为了实现这一目标，我们将利用夏季学院、为女孩和家长提供学年CAFIS，并通过社交网站和当前技术提供持续的辅导支持，以实现以下目标：1)增加并保持高中女生对健康相关STEM学科的参与度；2)通过提高对大学录取STEM相关健康领域所需的个人和学术技能的高度评价，培养学习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。拟议的干预措施具有创造性和创新性，原因有几个。首先，也是最重要的是，获得选择：女孩通过与健康相关的STEM学科调查现实生活不是一种单一的干预策略，而是一个系统的支持系统。其次，我们的项目将汇聚一支来自韦恩州立大学校园的合格的教职员工和学生团队。第三，我们不仅针对8-12年级的女孩，还将为家长提供支持。第四，我们将限制现有技术，以建立来自本科生导师的同行支持、指导和社会支持，以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居民面临的无数问题的催化剂，占据了独特的利基地位，因此非常适合我们拟议的干预措施。整体影响。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卫生有关的STEM活动；以及对未来传播和可扩充性的承诺。
