 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The lack of diversity in the clinician-scientist workforce is a "very serious concern to the NIH" and to health care professions. Current efforts to broaden participation in STEM fields typically target high school and college-age students. Yet, history and national trends suggest that these efforts alone will not result in rapid or significant change because racial and ethnic disparities are already evident by this time. Children are forming career preferences as early as elementary school, a time when they have little exposure to science and STEM career options. The overall vision of this team is to meet the nation's workforce goal of developing a diverse, clinician-scientist workforce while meeting the nation's STEM goals. As a step toward this vision, the goal of This Is How We "Role" is to inspire elementary school students towards careers as clinician-scientists by increasing the number of K-4 students with authentic STEM experiences. This goal will be attained through two specific aims. The focus of Aim 1 is to distribute and evaluate a K-4 afterschool program across the diverse geographic regions of the US, to support the development of a robust and diverse clinician-scientist workforce. Aim 2 is focused on developing the community resources (afterschool program curriculum, informational books and online certificate program) for promoting health science literacy and encouraging careers in biomedical and clinical research for K-4 students from underserved and underrepresented communities. Combined, these aims will enhance opportunities for young children from underserved communities to have authentic STEM experiences by providing culturally responsive, afterschool educational programs which will be delivered by university student and clinician-scientist role models who are diverse in gender, race, and ethnicity. Books and an online certificate program about health issues impacting people and their animals (i.e. diabetes, tooth decay) will be developed and distributed to children unable to attend afterschool programs. Further, by engaging veterinary programs and students from across the US, along with practicing veterinarians, this program will examine whether the approaches and curriculum developed are effective across the diverse communities and geographic regions that span the country. Elementary school teachers will serve as consultants to ensure that educational materials are consistent with Next Generation Science Standards, and will assist in training university students and clinician-scientists to better communicate the societal impact of their work to the public. The program will continue to use the successful model of engaging elementary school students in STEM activities by using examples of health conditions that impact both people and their animals. Ultimately, this project will educate, improve the health of, and attract a diverse pool of elementary school students, particularly those from underserved communities, to careers as clinician-scientists.

 描述（由适用提供）：临床科学家劳动力队伍中缺乏多样性是“ NIH非常严重的关注”和医疗保健专业人员。当前扩大参与STEM领域的努力通常针对高中和大学生。然而，历史和国家趋势表明，仅这些努力就不会导致迅速或重大的变化，因为赛车和种族差异已经证明了这段时间。儿童早在小学就形成了职业偏好，这是他们几乎没有科学和STEM职业选择的时期。该团队的总体愿景是实现美国的劳动力目标，即在实现全国的STEM目标时发展多样性，临床科学家的劳动力。作为朝着这一愿景迈出的一步，我们的“角色”的目标是通过增加具有正宗STEM经验的K-4学生的数量来激发小学生作为临床科学家的职业。这个目标将通过两个具体目标实现。 AIM 1的重点是在美国的不同地理区域分发和评估K-4后课程计划，以支持发展强大而多样化的临床科学家劳动力的发展。 AIM 2专注于开发社区资源（课后课程，信息书籍和在线证书计划），以促进健康科学素养，并鼓励来自服务不足和代表性不足社区的K-4学生的生物医学和临床研究的职业。这些目标结合在一起，将通过提供文化反应敏感的，后的教育计划来为来自服务不足社区的幼儿提供真正的STEM经历，这些计划将由大学生和临床科学家榜样提供，这些榜样是性别，种族和种族的潜水员。有关影响人们及其动物的健康问题的书籍和在线证书计划（即糖尿病，牙齿衰减），并将开发给无法参加课后课程的儿童。此外，通过吸引来自美国各地的兽医计划和学生以及实用的兽医，该计划将研究开发的方法和课程是否在跨越该国的各种群体和地理区域中都有效。小学教师将担任顾问，以确保教育材料与下一代科学标准一致，并将协助培训大学生和临床科学家，以更好地将其工作的社会影响与公众传达。该计划将通过使用影响人们及其动物的健康状况的例子来成功使用吸引小学学生参与STEM活动的成功模型。最终，该项目将教育，改善，并吸引一群小学生，特别是服务不足的社区的潜水员，成为临床科学家的职业。
