To achieve a healthy society, America needs both highly trained health professionals and a science-literate public. The development of both begins during K-12 education. Within the NIH, the SEPA program provides the principal means to influence pre-college science education. Our application builds on current infrastructure,which provides ca. 1700 high school students per year, many of them from underrepresented groups, with authentic scientific experiences based on experiment modules that utilize live organisms as biomedical models. Students investigate the impacts of environmental/life-style chemicals on fundamental biological processes. Inthe process, ca. 20 pre-service teachers per year learn to teach with an inquiry-based approach. Moving forward,the proposed SEPA program will i) engage in-service and pre-service teachers and students with an in-depth introduction to the scientific method and its components that is closely linked to the conduct of the experiment modules. A major focus will involve analytical applications of data science that emerge after aggregating large amounts of data submitted by students to a computational portal and data repository. Complementing this novelemphasis, ii) student experimentation will be placed within a context of science and society, called environmental health civics – a history of environmental chemicals in relation to governmental regulation and chemical toxicityresearch. Attention will be directed toward environmental justice, particularly issues which effect Milwaukee youth, including lead (Pb) poisoning, through the use of a powerful on-line environmental health mapping program from the EPA. Experiment modules and special student conferences will further develop this area. Both i) and ii) will be fully aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. In addition, we will iii) provide new ways for early career teachers to implement our program as they transition from pre-service status to maturein-service teachers. Finally, iv) we will transfer our program to an on-line format and partner with other institutions to expand the reach of our pre-service teacher program. Content goals will be merged with our objective to offer large numbers of minority and economically disadvantaged students research experiences withour modules. Our Specific Aims are to 1. Introduce in-service and early career teachers to the principles of data and data science in relation to our environmental health experiment modules. 2. Collaborate with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, UW- Stevens Point science teacher education programs to certify 100 pre-service teachers in the principles and practice of scientific experimentation and communication. 3. Provide 8,500 high school students with a) experiences in doing data and data science-focused scientific research, and b) an understanding of the importance of chemical toxicology, including a focuson environmental justice. 4. Work with the Milwaukee Public School System and other regional schools to provide large numbers of low income and underrepresented minority students with research experiences. 5. Develop a robust on-line version of our program. 6. Conduct a thorough evaluation of the entire project. (Underline links parent and supplement proposals)

为了实现一个健康的社会，美国既需要训练有素的卫生专业人员， 公众两者的发展都始于K-12教育。在NIH内部，SEPA计划提供 影响大学预科科学教育的主要手段。我们的应用程序构建在当前的基础设施上， 提供CA。每年有1700名高中生，其中许多人来自代表性不足的群体， 以利用活生物体作为生物医学模型的实验模块为基础的科学经验。学生 调查环境/生活方式化学品对基本生物过程的影响。在这个过程中， 约每年有20名职前教师学习以探究式方法教学。展望未来，拟议的 SEPA计划将i）让在职和职前教师和学生深入介绍 科学方法及其与实验模块的实施密切相关的组成部分。一个主要 重点将涉及数据科学的分析应用，这些应用是在汇总大量数据后出现的 由学生提交到计算门户和数据存储库。补充这部小说的重点，ii） 学生的实验将被放置在科学和社会的背景下，称为环境卫生公民 - 环境化学品与政府管制和化学毒性研究的历史。 注意力将集中在环境正义上，特别是影响密尔沃基青年的问题， 包括铅（Pb）中毒，通过使用一个强大的在线环境健康绘图程序， 美国环保局。实验单元和特别学生会议将进一步发展这一领域。i）和ii）将 完全符合下一代科学标准。此外，我们将（iii）提供新的方法， 职业教师实施我们的计划，因为他们从职前状态过渡到成熟的在职教师。 最后，iv）我们将把我们的计划转移到在线格式，并与其他机构合作，以扩大 我们职前教师计划的覆盖范围。内容目标将与我们的目标合并，以提供大量 少数民族和经济困难学生的研究经验与我们的模块。我们的具体目标 是1。向在职和早期职业教师介绍数据和数据科学的原理， 我们的环境健康实验模块。2.与威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校合作， 史蒂文斯点科学教师教育计划，以证明100职前教师的原则和 科学实验和交流的实践。3.为8,500名高中生提供a） 在做数据和数据科学为重点的科学研究的经验，和B）的理解， 化学毒理学的重要性，包括对环境正义的关注。4.与密尔沃基公众合作 学校系统和其他区域学校提供大量的低收入和代表性不足的 有研究经验的少数民族学生。5.开发一个强大的在线版本的我们的程序。6.进行 对整个项目进行全面评估。（下划线链接父提案和补充提案）
