DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Improvement in health/science literacy tops the nation's health/education agenda, meshing with NIH-NIAID's strategies to energize the clinical research enterprise, enhance public understanding of science [specifically ~ Infection (In) and Immunity (Im)], and expedite translation of discovery into practice. This R25 proposal, from an experienced team led by accomplished clinician-scientists devoted to outcomes-oriented educational interventions targeting diverse/disadvantaged K-16 and health professional students, builds on a national infrastructure of people, programs, and partnerships as well as student "cyberliteracy". Using our web-based Virtual Clinical Research Center and Questionarium (an interactive Questioning Space)(VCRC/Q) launched in 2011, specific aims are: 1) connect, customize, and scale this unique one stop "learning grid" (for integrating and personalizing domain-specific content, learning activities, and user services) to deliver a new In/Im curriculum and provide state-of-the-art multifaceted bidirectional linkage between the biomedical world and K-12 schools and general public; 2) develop a new inquiry-driven student-centered multimedia K-12 core curriculum - "Infection and Immunity: Knowns and Unknowns (Answers! and Questions?)" (InIm K!/U?). InIm K!/U? targets diverse/disadvantaged Arizona high school students, then age-adapted for K-8, on VCRC/Q or face-to-face for classroom, laboratory, and home use. It introduces the "language" (vocabulary) of medicine and highlights the spectrum of NIAID-related basic, clinical, and translational research topics, tools, and scientist role models mixing diverse experts and multilevel students as presenters/ producers. The innovative theme and learning strategy interweaves biomedical "Knowledge" (today's Knowns/Answers!) and "Ignorance" (Unknowns/Questions? - future learning and discovery), mirroring authentic science and encouraging students to ask their own questions and explore answers in VCRC/Q, classrooms/school labs, and home. Among topics introduced in animated graphically attractive teaser/snapshot form at the K9-12 then K-8 level will be: introductory mini-overview of pathobiology (inflammation, necrosis, immunity and neoplasia); research tools; bacterial, fungal, and viral organisms; infections including tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, coccidioidomycosis, AIDS, influenza; MRSA, wound/surgical infections; parasitic diseases from worms and insect vectors; 1 and 2 immune disorders, organ transplantation; vaccines; and bioterrorism; 3) provide K-12 teacher training and support through serial interactive multimedia teacher workshops, year round inservice consultation, and online social networking to encourage teacher and student ownership/innovation reflecting state/national standards. Comprehensive formative/summative evaluation includes 3-phases (design, implement, disseminate) and short- and long-term assessment of program and teacher/student participant outcomes including as "questioners". National/ international dissemination centers in VCRC/Q's expanding multimedia, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional partnerships and social networking to enhance impact.

描述（由申请人提供）：提高健康/科学素养是国家健康/教育议程的首要任务，与NIH-NIAID的战略相一致，以激励临床研究事业，增强公众对科学的理解[特别是感染（in）和免疫（Im）]，并加快将发现转化为实践。这项R25提案是由一个经验丰富的团队提出的，该团队由有成就的临床科学家领导，致力于以结果为导向的教育干预措施，针对不同/弱势的K-16和卫生专业学生，它建立在国家人员、项目和伙伴关系基础设施以及学生“网络素养”的基础上。利用我们于2011年推出的基于网络的虚拟临床研究中心和问卷调查中心（一个交互式提问空间）（VCRC/Q），具体目标是：1)连接、定制和扩展这个独特的一站式“学习网格”（用于集成和个性化特定领域的内容、学习活动和用户服务），以提供新的in /Im课程，并在生物医学界、K-12学校和公众之间提供最先进的多方面双向联系；2)开发一个新的以学生为中心的探究驱动的多媒体K-12核心课程-“感染和免疫：已知和未知(答案！（i m K!/U?）。InIm K ! / U ?针对不同的/弱势的亚利桑那州高中学生，然后年龄适应K-8，在VCRC/Q或面对面的教室，实验室和家庭使用。它介绍了医学的“语言”（词汇），并强调了与niaid相关的基础，临床和转化研究主题，工具和科学家角色模型的范围，混合了不同的专家和多层次的学生作为演讲者/制作人。创新的主题和学习策略交织了生物医学的“知识”（今天的已知/答案！）和“无知”（未知/问题？）-未来的学习和发现)，反映真实的科学，鼓励学生在VCRC/Q、教室/学校实验室和家中提出自己的问题并探索答案。在K9-12年级和K-8年级，以动画形式介绍的主题将包括：病理生物学（炎症、坏死、免疫和肿瘤）的介绍性概述；研究工具;细菌、真菌和病毒有机体；感染，包括肺结核、性传播疾病、球孢子菌病、艾滋病、流感；MRSA，伤口/手术感染；来自蠕虫和昆虫媒介的寄生虫病；1、2类免疫疾病，器官移植；疫苗;和生物恐怖主义;3)通过系列互动多媒体教师研讨会、全年在职咨询和在线社交网络，为K-12教师提供培训和支持，鼓励教师和学生自主/创新，反映国家/国家标准。综合形成性/总结性评估包括三个阶段（设计、实施、传播），以及对项目和教师/学生参与成果的短期和长期评估，包括作为“提问者”。国家/国际传播中心正在扩大VCRC/Q的多媒体、多学科、多机构伙伴关系和社会网络，以增强影响。
