DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The San Gabriel Valley Science Education Partnership Award Collaborative (SGV SEPAC) is a partnership between City of Hope (COH), a Comprehensive Cancer Center and biomedical research institute, and Duarte Unified School District (DUSD), an 80% minority school district in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County. Other partners include Pasadena City College and a stand-alone research and education non-profit called Oak Crest Institute of Science. The primary activity of the SGV SEPAC is the summer research project, in which high school students will receive instruction about and conduct true inquiry research projects in the context of a dedicated Community Teaching Laboratory housed on the COH campus. The goal is to offer a less intimidating, more nurturing and enriching research experience than traditional summer programs that take place in full-blown research labs. Select students from the summer program will go on to conduct a school-year research project in COH and OCIS labs, now with the background knowledge, skills, and confidence to be productive contributors to these labs' research programs. We are also proposing a teacher- focused professional development program. This will be a three-session workshop series presented in the spring of each year. Teachers will learn the same content, research methodology and techniques that will be presented to students the following summer. They will receive teaching materials and protocols to take back to their classrooms. Teachers who complete the spring workshop will also be involved in teaching the didactic portion of the summer research program and work side-by-side with students in the laboratory portion of the program. These experiences will help teachers reinforce the concepts learned by their students in the summer research program and also disseminate that information during the school year to a wider base of students who could not participate in the summer program. Finally, a smaller component of the proposed activities will be directed at K-8 students. These will include visits to 2nd grade classrooms by COH scientists and field trip visits to the COH campus by groups of 5th grade and 8th grade students. Fifth grade students will take a campus tour, visit COH labs and talk with scientists to learn about careers in research. Eighth grade students will engage in grade-appropriate experimental activities in the Community Teaching Lab to whet their appetite for research and pique their interest in applying for the summer research program during their high school years. Taken together, these programs are intended to be positive research experiences that are more likely than traditional laboratory activities to have a lasting, engaging effect on our target group of high school students, thus increasing their chances for pursuing careers in biomedical research. Rigorous evaluation using logic model assessment planning tools will ensure timely feedback on our successes and failures and allow for rapid program improvement and dissemination of best practices.

描述(由申请者提供)：圣加布里埃尔山谷科学教育合作伙伴奖合作(SGV SEPAC)是由综合癌症中心和生物医学研究所希望之城(COH)和杜阿尔特联合学区(DU.S.)合作举办的，杜阿尔特联合学区是洛杉矶县圣加布里埃尔山谷80%的少数族裔学区。其他合作伙伴包括帕萨迪纳城市学院和一个独立的研究和教育非营利性组织，名为橡树冠科学研究所。SGV SEPAC的主要活动是暑期研究项目，在该项目中，高中生将在位于COH校园的专用社区教学实验室的背景下接受指导并进行真正的探究性研究项目。其目标是提供一种比在成熟的研究实验室进行的传统暑期项目更具威胁性、更有教养和更丰富的研究体验。从暑期项目中挑选出来的学生将继续在COH和OCIS实验室进行学年研究项目，现在他们具备了背景知识、技能和信心，能够为这些实验室的研究项目做出富有成效的贡献。我们还提出了一项以教师为中心的专业发展计划。这将是每年春季举行的为期三节的系列研讨会。教师将学习下一个暑假将向学生介绍的相同的内容、研究方法和技术。他们将收到教材和礼仪，带回教室。完成春季工作坊的教师还将参与教授暑期研究计划的教学部分，并与该计划实验室部分的学生并肩工作。这些经验将帮助教师加强他们的学生在暑期研究项目中学到的概念，并在学年期间将这些信息传播给更多无法参加暑期项目的学生。最后，拟议活动的较小部分将针对K-8学生。这些活动将包括COH科学家对二年级教室的访问以及由五年级和八年级学生组成的小组对COH校园的实地考察。五年级的学生将参观校园，参观COH实验室，并与科学家交谈，了解研究领域的职业。八年级学生将在社区教学实验室进行适合年级的实验活动，以激发他们对研究的兴趣，并激发他们在高中阶段申请暑期研究项目的兴趣。综上所述，这些项目旨在成为积极的研究体验，比传统的实验室活动更有可能对我们的目标高中生群体产生持久的、引人入胜的影响，从而增加他们从事生物医学研究的机会。使用逻辑模型评估规划工具的严格评估将确保及时反馈我们的成功和失败，并允许快速改进计划和传播最佳实践。
