 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) requests grant funding from NIH SEPA to develop, test, market, and disseminate an interactive graphic novel iBook that will use the interests of young people (ages 10-14) in animals and comics to engage them in learning about health and clinical research. Provisionally called "Transmission: Astonishing Tales of Human-Animal Diseases," the project represents a new approach to engaging young people in biomedical science learning. Graphic novels are one of the fastest growing categories in publishing and bookselling, and today, they are significantly more sophisticated than the comics that came before them. They are also enormously popular among young people. The proposed graphic novel iBook will focus on the diseases that humans and animals share and pass between them (sometimes to devastating consequences), from Ebola, bird flu, and West Nile disease to influenza, measles, and pneumonia. Moreover, like many other contemporary graphic novels, it will address a pressing issue of the day - namely, the growth of zoonotic and anthropozoonotic diseases. The iBook will be developed in a digital, interactive format (a growing trend within the genre) and, like many graphic novel titles, will tak a mystery and forensic crime approach to exploring its content. Ultimately, Transmission will become a national model for conveying biomedical understanding through the use of up-to-the-minute interactive iBook technologies and an engaging graphic novel format.

 描述（由申请人提供）：纽约科学馆（NYSCI）请求NIH SEPA提供资金，用于开发、测试、营销和传播互动图形小说iBook，该iBook将利用年轻人（10-14岁）对动物和漫画的兴趣，让他们参与学习健康和临床研究。该项目暂时被称为“传播：人类动物疾病的惊人故事”，代表了一种让年轻人参与生物医学科学学习的新方法。图画小说是出版和图书销售中增长最快的类别之一，今天，它们比之前的漫画更加复杂。它们在年轻人中也非常受欢迎。拟议中的图画小说iBook将关注人类和动物之间共有和传播的疾病（有时会造成毁灭性后果），从埃博拉病毒，禽流感和西尼罗河疾病到流感，麻疹和肺炎。此外，像许多其他当代图画小说一样，它将解决当今的一个紧迫问题-即人畜共患病和非人畜共患病的增长。iBook将以数字化的互动形式开发（这是该类型中日益增长的趋势），并且像许多图形小说一样，将采用神秘和法医犯罪的方法来探索其内容。最终，Transmission将成为通过使用最新的交互式iBook技术和引人入胜的图形小说格式传达生物医学理解的国家模式。
