Context: Minority under-representation in medical education, practice, and research remains a significant problem nationwide. Even though American students in general perform more poorly in science and math than do students of many other countries, the average science proficiency among black and Hispanic children is far below that of American white children. With American's changing demographics, poor and minority children must be provided with access and better opportunities to acquire strong science, research, and math backgrounds. Design: This is a five year educational program. The proposed program will support a new curriculum design that will utilize major clinical diseases affecting minority populations to interest and teach minority students about research and health careers. Each year of the grant will have one clinical focus that is important to the health care of this country: obesity, cancer prevention, asthma, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. Each fall the Curriculum Committee will develop the curriculum after a comprehensive needs assessment and evaluation of the previous year curriculum. The goal will be to teach anatomy, pathophysiology, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, pharmacology and research applications using these disease models to gain and hold the student's interest. Additionally, there will be programmatic offerings for middle and high school teachers and parents as they play a very significant role in the educational future of American children. Specific Aims: (1) To implement age-appropriate programs for urban underrepresented minority students (and other students with a demonstrated need) in grades 8-12 that strengthens: Domain-specific knowledge in health science, research and mathematics; domain-independent competencies necessary for academic and workplace success; and skills in higher order critical thinking and problem solving, (2) To promote awareness of and interest in careers in biological science, research and health professions among 8thand 12thgraders from the greater Newark area, (3) To expand, for pre-college science teachers, the base of health-related knowledge, the practice of performance-based assessments, and the use of innovated teaching modalities, (4) To enhance parent's and involvement in their children's education by offering seminars/workshops that teach skills that will support their child's progress, and (5) To evaluate the effectiveness of the program in reaching its objectives by using a variety of assessment strategies. Settimzs: UMD-New Jersey Medical School and St. James Preparatory School in Newark, NJ. Particioants: One hundred twenty five students will be recruited during the first year of the program. Middle and high school teachers will be recruited in years one through four of the program. Parents and/or legal guardians of the children who participate in the program.

背景：医学教育，实践和研究中的少数群体人数不足仍然是一个重要的问题 全国。即使美国学生在科学和数学方面的表现都比 许多其他国家，黑人和西班牙裔儿童的平均科学水平远低于美国 白人孩子。随着美国人不断变化的人口统计信息，必须为贫困儿童和少数民族儿童提供访问和 获得强大的科学，研究和数学背景的更好机会。设计：这是五年的教育 程序。拟议的计划将支持一种新的课程设计，该设计将利用影响的主要临床疾病 少数民族的兴趣并向少数族裔学生传授研究和医疗职业。赠款的每一年 将有一个对这个国家的医疗保健很重要的临床重点：肥胖，预防癌症，哮喘， 高血压和冠心病。每年秋天，课程委员会将在 上一年课程的全面需求评估和评估。目标是教解剖， 使用这些疾病模型的病理生理学，流行病学，遗传学，行为，药理学和研究应用 获得并保持学生的兴趣。此外，将提供中学和高中的程序化产品 老师和父母在美国儿童的教育未来中发挥了非常重要的作用。具体目的： （1）为城市代表性不足的少数民族学生（以及其他具有 在增强的8 - 12年级中，有必要）：健康科学，研究和 数学;学术和工作场所成功所必需的独立能力；和更高的技能 命令批判性思维和解决问题，（2）促进对生物科学职业的认识和兴趣， 大纽瓦克地区的第8名12年级研究员之间的研究和健康职业，（3）扩展，以供大学前 科学教师，与健康相关的知识基础，基于绩效评估的实践以及使用 创新的教学方式，（4），以提高父母的教育和参与孩子的教育 讲授将支持孩子进步的技能的研讨会/讲习班，（5）评估有效性 该计划通过使用各种评估策略来实现其目标。 Settimzs：UMD新泽西医疗 新泽西州纽瓦克的学校和圣詹姆斯准备学校。特色：一百二十5名学生将 在计划的第一年招募。中学和高中老师将在第一年通过 该程序的四个。参加该计划的孩子的父母和/或法定监护人。
