DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advances in medicine are vitally dependent on active participation of the public in biomedical and behavioral research. As efforts increase to translate scientific discovery more quickly and effectively into advances in medicine (translational research), public participation becomes even more critical. To assure active and informed public participation in translational biomedical and behavioral research, public education is essential. The overarching goals of this proposal are to increase public knowledge and understanding of translational biomedical and behavioral research through a joint partnership between the Detroit Science Center (DSC) and the University of Michigan (UM), and to examine the setting of a science museum and effectiveness of an interactive research exhibit for increasing public research literacy and willingness to participate in translational research. Specifically, UM and the DSC propose two specific aims: 1) to develop, build and evaluate an interactive exhibit about translational research that will be integrated into the forthcoming DSC Medical Marvels Gallery "hospital", and will simulate the visitor's experience as a "patient" entering into a hospital translational research center and providing consent to be a "subject" in a real-life research study; and 2) to develop, implement and evaluate an educational workshop with genetics and heredity content consistent with the Michigan Curriculum Framework for science education that will stimulate middle and high school students to value translational research for diverse communities and consider a career in translational research. In the spirit of community-based participatory research, a Community Advisory Board identified from the DSC membership and a UM Technical Advisory Panel will contribute to the design, content, and evaluation of the project. A mixed methods design utilizing focus groups, free-text comments and survey data will be used iteratively in the formulation, implementation and evaluation. This project will produce an interactive translational research exhibit that will be visited by an estimated four to five million people of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and age ranges over the next ten years. It will promote public understanding of and participation in health sciences translational research. This collaboration could provide a stepping-stone for developing a community laboratory at the DSC for future research efforts to collect data from and disseminate information to the public about translational research in an exciting format that is truly community-based.

描述(由申请人提供)：医学的进步至关重要地依赖于公众对生物医学和行为研究的积极参与。随着更快更有效地将科学发现转化为医学进步(转化研究)的努力增加，公众参与变得更加关键。为了确保公众积极和知情地参与转化生物医学和行为研究，公共教育是必不可少的。这项建议的总体目标是通过底特律科学中心(DSC)和密歇根大学(UM)的联合伙伴关系，增加公众对翻译生物医学和行为研究的了解和理解，并审查科学博物馆的设置和互动研究展览的有效性，以提高公众的研究素养和参与翻译研究的意愿。具体地说，密歇根大学和DSC提出了两个具体目标：1)开发、建设和评估一个关于翻译研究的互动展览，该展览将整合到即将到来的DSC医学奇迹画廊“医院”中，并将模拟参观者作为“病人”进入医院翻译研究中心的体验，并同意成为真实研究的“对象”；以及2)开发、实施和评估一个教育工作坊，其遗传学和遗传学内容符合密歇根州科学教育课程框架，将激励初中生重视面向不同社区的翻译研究，并考虑从事翻译研究事业。本着以社区为基础的参与性研究的精神，从DSC成员中确定的社区咨询委员会和UM技术咨询小组将为项目的设计、内容和评估做出贡献。在制定、执行和评价过程中，将反复使用利用重点小组、自由文本评论和调查数据的混合方法设计。该项目将制作一个互动式翻译研究展览，预计在未来十年内将有400万至500万不同社会经济背景和年龄范围的人参观。它将促进公众对卫生科学转化研究的理解和参与。这一合作可能为在DSC建立社区实验室提供垫脚石，以便未来的研究工作以真正以社区为基础的令人兴奋的形式从公众收集数据并向公众传播关于翻译研究的信息。
