DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Kansas University Medical Center (KUMC), through the Office of Cultural Enhancement and Diversity, will leverage our 20 year history of success in establishing robust partnerships between K-20 students, teachers, families, communities, and our academic health center to develop and implement a five- Phase I and II inquiry based multimodal, project. The proposed project, Kansas PathOlogical Life Sciences Training Program, will create programs and activities that will improve area high school students knowledge about clinical research and life sciences; improve life science and health literacy in our communities; and increase community awareness of clinical research and knowledge about the clinical trial process in order to improve underrepresented communities participation. There are five main components to Phase I. First, we will engage 4 10th-12th Kansas City Kansas (KCK) students from our partner high schools as PathOlogical Biomedical Library Interns. These students will assist in identifying science/evidence-based literature, information about NIH supported clinical research and clinical trials and health disparities, for use in our curriculum. Second, we will develop and implement Camp PathOlogical, an innovative 5-week inquiry-based biomedical science summer program for 24 underrepresented minority (URM), or underserved students in 11th-12th grades. We will apply problem based learning, standardized patients, and electronic health records to teach the pathologic basis of disease and how this knowledge informs patient diagnosis, management and prediction, tour the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) and develop clinical trials specific to our patient or "problem". Faculty will include KCK USD500 master teachers, KCK Community College (KCKCC) and KUMC faculty. Third, KUMC and KCKCC faculty will develop and implement a seminar series targeting students, teachers and families that will increase life science literacy, knowledge about clinical trials and insight into barriers for URM participation in clinical trials. Fourth, we will engage 25 high school students to develop multimedia programs using technology such as streaming video, DVD and cable broadcast. Fifth, we will engage 10 11th-12th grade students in partnership with our GCRC in clinical and translational research. This project builds on our committed efforts to increase awareness, interest, preparedness, and ultimately participation of URM in science and health professions careers. In Phase II we will disseminate our programs to the Greater Kansas City area and nationally using student participation, multimedia materials, web-based technologies and the Library systems-Biomedical, School Districts and State. Inequality or differences in the burden of disease remains a stubborn and growing public health problem for the United States. Increased knowledge of and access to reliable information about life sciences and the newest treatments, along with increasing the number of scientists and doctors who come from the people who experience these differences in disease will go far to correct this problem. The overall goal of this project is to develop programs and activities that will increase knowledge of and access to life sciences and clinical trial information for students and communities in Kansas City.

描述(由申请人提供)：堪萨斯大学医学中心(KUMC)将通过文化促进和多样性办公室，利用我们20年的成功历史，在K-20学生、教师、家庭、社区和我们的学术健康中心之间建立牢固的合作伙伴关系，以开发和实施一个基于第一和第二阶段调查的五阶段多式联运项目。拟议的项目，堪萨斯州病理生命科学培训计划，将创建计划和活动，以提高地区高中生关于临床研究和生命科学的知识；提高我们社区的生命科学和健康素养；并提高社区对临床研究的认识和对临床试验过程的了解，以改善代表不足的社区的参与。第一阶段有五个主要部分。首先，我们将从我们的伙伴高中聘请4名堪萨斯城(KCK)第10-12届学生作为病理生物医学图书馆实习生。这些学生将帮助识别科学/循证文献，关于NIH支持的临床研究和临床试验的信息，以及健康差异，供我们的课程使用。其次，我们将为24名未被充分代表的少数族裔(URM)或11-12年级的未得到充分服务的学生开发和实施Camp病理，这是一个为期5周的创新生物医学科学暑期计划。我们将应用基于问题的学习、标准化患者和电子健康记录来教授疾病的病理基础，以及这些知识如何为患者诊断、管理和预测提供信息，参观综合临床研究中心(GCRC)，并针对我们的患者或“问题”开发临床试验。教师将包括KCK USD500名硕士教师、KCK社区学院(KCKCC)和KUMC教师。第三，KUMC和KCKCC教职员工将开发和实施一系列针对学生、教师和家庭的研讨会，以提高生命科学素养、临床试验知识和对URM参与临床试验的障碍的洞察。第四，我们将动员25名高中生利用流媒体视频、DVD和有线广播等技术开发多媒体节目。第五，我们将与我们的GCRC合作，聘请10名11-12年级的学生进行临床和翻译研究。这个项目建立在我们致力于提高URM在科学和卫生职业生涯中的意识、兴趣、准备和最终参与的努力之上。在第二阶段，我们将使用学生参与、多媒体材料、基于网络的技术和图书馆系统--生物医学、学区和州--向大堪萨斯城地区和全国传播我们的计划。 疾病负担的不平等或差异对美国来说仍然是一个顽固且日益严重的公共卫生问题。增加对生命科学和最新治疗方法的可靠信息的了解和获取，以及更多来自经历过这些疾病差异的人的科学家和医生的数量，将大大有助于纠正这个问题。该项目的总体目标是制定计划和活动，为堪萨斯城的学生和社区增加对生命科学和临床试验信息的了解和获取。
