Consortium for Increasing Research and Collaborative Learning Experiences (CIRCLE)

增加研究和协作学习经验联盟 CIRCLE计划为初中和高中学生创造基础设施 从没有足够研究经验的地区扩展他们的研究技能， 从事真实的研究经验，并培养他们对职业的兴趣， 生物医学、行为或临床研究。CIRCLE建立在现有科学的基础上 教育伙伴关系奖赠款，创建了健康前职业队（PHCC） 该计划为1，800多名对健康科学事业感兴趣的学生提供服务， 提供培训讲习班、辅导、职业和学术咨询、考试和 大学预科，论文写作和面试技巧，按需提供 每一个人一个缺点是没有足够的研究经验， 感兴趣的学生。CIRCLE计划将提供适合年龄的研究 通过定期聊天、博客和视频通话， 研究团队，当地导师和远程研究主管。 CIRCLE计划的目标是建立一个远程研究网络， 提高整个地区服务不足社区的科学研究兴趣和技能 美国太平洋地区，以加强STEM职业途径，扩大公众 研究的知识，并确保最大限度地大和多样化的劳动力，以满足 太平洋的生物医学，行为和临床研究的需求。 具体目标 1)创建和测试远程研究协作的基础设施， 服务不足的太平洋地区和10-15个研究地点，以提出最佳做法 一个正在进行的远程研究网络。 2)为300人发展健康科学研究经验和研究指导 在五年的赠款资助中， 80%的人表示对科学事业的兴趣增加。 3)为300名服务不足的第七至第九批人提供健康科学职业教育和指导 12年级的学生，以加强他们对生物医学，临床和行为的兴趣 80%的研究表明，追求健康的信心和工具有所增加 科学事业

Consortium for Increasing Research and Collaborative Learning Experiences The CIRCLE Program creates the infrastructure for middle and high school students from areas without adequate research experience to expand their research skills, engage in authentic research experiences, and incubate their interest in a career in biomedical, behavioral or clinical research. CIRCLE builds upon the existing Science Education Partnership Award grant that created the PreHealth Career Corps (PHCC) program that serves over 1,800 students interested in health science careers by providing training workshops, mentoring, career and academic counseling, test and college prep, essay writing and interview skills in an on-demand fashion as needed by each individual. The one weakness is that there aren't enough research experiences for interested students. The CIRCLE Program will provide age appropriate research training and career mentoring with regular chats, blogs and video calls with their research team, a local mentor and a distance research supervisor. The goal of the CIRCLE program is to create a distance research network that will enhance scientific research interest and skills in underserved communities throughout the US Pacific region in order to strengthen STEM career pathways, expand public knowledge of research and ensure a maximally large and diverse workforce to meet the Pacific's biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. SPECIFIC AIMS 1) Create and test the infrastructure for distance research collaborations between underserved Pacific locations and 10-15 research sites to come up with best practices for an ongoing distance research network. 2) Develop health science research experiences and research mentorship for 300 underserved 7th to 12th grade students over the five years of grant funding resulting in 80% demonstrating increased interest in science careers. 3) Provide health science career education and mentorship to 300 underserved 7th to 12th grade students to strengthen their interest in biomedical, clinical, and behavioral research with 80% demonstrating increased confidence and tools to pursue health science careers.
