DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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. The proposed 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 Whitaker Center for 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 (the laboratory performance site), 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 science education. 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：针对学生和教师的拟议合作研究经验（CREST）计划解决了克服吸引年轻学生进入科学的问题所需的系统变化，然后预计将进入研究和医疗保健职业。 CREST计划将重点关注哈里斯堡（宾夕法尼亚州首都）地区高中，少数族裔学生目前在研究和医疗保健领域中的人数不足。 该计划将在连续三年的高中教育中为夏季研究经验提供精心选择的9年级学生（总计100年）。前两个夏季课程（9至10年级和10年级和11年级）将作为基于询问的生物医学科学的介绍，并将导致宾夕法尼亚州立医学学院的研究实验室中的一项监督研究项目在11年级和12年级之间进行。 这些学生将受到医学院教师研究导师的指导，与附近林肯大学（一所历史悠久的黑人大学）的本科生教学助理一起工作，以及两家已经在医学院建立的夏季本科研究计划。 这些助教将进一步充当高中学生参与者的榜样。 拟议的CREST计划将通过夏季科学学院提供专业发展计划，将教师将实验室经验纳入其日常教学计划并获得研究生学分，将同样关注高中生和科学教师（在5年期间的20个共有20个）。 学生，高中老师和研究导师之间的合作关系将在整个学年通过研讨会，基于参与的CREST学生和老师的综合经验以及惠特克科学中心和哈里斯堡市区艺术的计划，在高中进行新颖的实验室练习。惠特克中心计划将旨在庆祝学生及其老师的成就，并告知公众科学进步和临床试验的关键作用。 外部评估者将将波峰学生的成果指标与未参加CREST计划的学生的结果度量进行比较。 该计划代表了宾夕法尼亚州西南部学区，宾夕法尼亚州立医学院（实验室表演地点），宾夕法尼亚州立大学哈里斯堡首都学院（以教师为中心的发展网站），林肯大学和几个社区基于社区的组织，包括惠特克中心，关注科学教育的质量。 CREST计划旨在刺激高中生的兴趣和能力，尤其是来自人数不足的团体的学生的利益和能力，以从事科学职业。该计划为科学教师提供了通过更新内容和教学法来改善科学教学的机会。公众将被告知生物医学和临床研究的进步，包括对研究伦理的关注以及对临床研究中人类参与者的保护。
