Project Summary The goals of this proposal are: 1) to provide opportunities for underrepresented students to consider careers in basic or clinical research by exciting them through an educational Citizen Science research project; 2) to provide teachers with professional development in science content and teaching skills using research projects as the infrastructure; and 3) to improve the environments and behaviors in early childcare and education settings related to healthy lifestyles across the state through HSTA students Citizen Science projects. The project will complement or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. It will encourage interactive partnerships between biomedical and clinical researchers, in-service teachers and early childcare and education facilities to prevent obesity. Specific Aim I is the Biomedical Summer Institute for Teachers led by university faculty. This component is a one week university based component. The focus is to enhance teacher knowledge of biomedical characteristics and problems associated with childhood obesity, simple statistics, ethics and HIPAA compliance, and the principles of Citizen Science using Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The teachers together with the university faculty and staff will develop the curriculum and activities for Specific Aim II. Specific Aim II is the Biomedical Summer Institute for Students, led by HSTA teachers guided by university faculty. This experience will expose 11th grade HSTA students to the biomedical characteristics and problems associated with obesity with a focus on early childhood. Students will be trained on Key 2 a Healthy Start which aims to improve nutrition and physical activity best practices, policies and environments in West Virginia’s early child care and education programs. The students will develop a meaningful project related to childhood obesity and an aspect of its prevention so that the summer institute bridges seamlessly into Specific Aim III. Specific Aim III is the Community-Based After School Club Experiences. The students and teachers from the summer experience will lead additional interested 9th -12th grade students in their clubs to examine their communities and to engage community members in conducting public health intervention research in topics surrounding childhood obesity prevention through Citizen Science. Students and teachers will work collaboratively with the Key 2 a Healthy Start team on community projects that will be focused on providing on- going technical assistance that will ultimately move the early childcare settings towards achieving best practices related to nutrition and physical activity in young children.

项目摘要 这项建议的目标是：1）为代表性不足的学生提供机会，考虑在 通过教育公民科学研究项目激发他们的基础或临床研究; 2） 利用研究项目为教师提供科学内容和教学技能方面的专业发展 作为基础设施; 3）改善幼儿保育和教育的环境和行为 通过HSTA学生的公民科学项目，在全州范围内提供与健康生活方式相关的环境。的 该项目将补充或加强劳动力的培训，以满足国家的生物医学，行为和 临床研究需要。它将鼓励生物医学和临床研究人员之间的互动伙伴关系， 在职教师和幼儿保育和教育设施，以防止肥胖。 具体目标I是由大学教师领导的生物医学暑期教师学院。该组件是 一个为期一周的大学基础部分。重点是提高教师的生物医学知识 与儿童肥胖相关的特征和问题，简单统计，伦理学和HIPAA 遵守，和公民科学的原则，使用社区为基础的示范性研究（CBPR）。 教师与大学教职员工将共同开发课程和活动， Aim II. 具体目标二是生物医学暑期研究所的学生，由HSTA教师领导， 大学教师这种经验将暴露11年级HSTA学生的生物医学特征， 与肥胖相关的问题，重点是幼儿期。学生将在关键2a健康的培训 启动，旨在改善西方的营养和身体活动最佳实践，政策和环境 弗吉尼亚州的早期儿童保育和教育计划。学生将开发一个有意义的项目， 儿童肥胖及其预防的一个方面，使夏季研究所无缝衔接到具体的 Aim III. 具体目标三是以社区为基础的课后俱乐部体验。的师生 夏季的经验将导致更多感兴趣的9 - 12年级学生在他们的俱乐部，以检查他们的 社区和社区成员参与进行公共卫生干预研究的主题 通过公民科学来预防儿童肥胖学生和教师将工作 与Key 2 a Healthy Start团队合作开展社区项目，重点是提供- 持续的技术援助，最终将使幼儿保育机构实现最佳的 与幼儿营养和体育活动有关的做法。
