 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NIH Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) program of Emory University endeavors to use an over-arching theme of Citizen Science principles to meet the goals of this proposal are to: 1) develop an innovative curriculum based on citizen science and experiential learning to evaluate the efficacy of informal science education in after-school settings; 2) promote biomedical scientific careers in under-represented groups targeting females for Girls for Science summer research experiences; 3) train teachers in Title I schools to implement this citizen science based curriculum; and 4) disseminate the citizen science principles through outreach. This novel, experiential science and engineering program, termed Experiential Citizen Science Training for the Next Generation (ExCiTNG), encompasses community-identified topics reflecting NIH research priorities. The curriculum is mapped to Next Generation Science Standards. A comprehensive evaluation plan accompanies each program component, composed of short- and/or longer-term outcome measures. We will use our existing outreach program (Students for Science) along with scientific community partnerships (Atlanta Science Festival) to implement key aspects of the program throughout the state of Georgia. These efforts will be overseen by a central Steering Committee composed of leadership of the Community Education Research Program of the Emory/Morehouse/Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta Clinical Translational Science Institute (NIH CTSA), the Principal Investigators, representatives of each program component, and an independent K-12 STEM evaluator from the Georgia Department of Education. The Community Advisory Board, including educators, parents, and community members, will help guide the program's implementation and monitor progress. A committee of NIH-funded investigators, representing multiple NIH institutes along with experienced science writers, will lead the effort for dissemination and assure that on-going and new NIH research priorities are integrated into the program's curriculum over time.

 描述（由申请人提供）：埃默里大学的 NIH 科学教育合作奖 (SEPA) 计划致力于利用公民科学原则的总体主题来实现本提案的目标：1) 开发基于公民科学和体验式学习的创新课程，以评估课外环境中非正式科学教育的有效性； 2) 促进代表性不足群体的生物医学科学职业，以女性为对象，参加科学女孩夏季研究经历； 3) 培训第一类学校的教师实施公民科学课程； 4) 通过外展传播公民科学原则。这个新颖的体验式科学和工程项目被称为下一代体验式公民科学培训 (ExCiTNG)，涵盖反映 NIH 研究重点的社区确定主题。该课程符合下一代科学标准。每个计划组成部分均附有全面的评估计划，由短期和/或长期成果衡量标准组成。我们将利用现有的外展计划（科学学生）以及科学界合作伙伴关系（亚特兰大科学节）在整个佐治亚州实施该计划的关键方面。这些工作将由中央指导委员会监督，该委员会由埃默里/莫尔豪斯/佐治亚理工学院亚特兰大临床转化科学研究所 (NIH CTSA) 社区教育研究项目的领导、主要研究者、每个项目组成部分的代表以及佐治亚州教育部的独立 K-12 STEM 评估员组成。包括教育工作者、家长和社区成员在内的社区咨询委员会将帮助指导该计划的实施并监测进展情况。由 NIH 资助的研究人员组成的委员会，代表多个 NIH 机构以及经验丰富的科学作家，将领导传播工作，并确保随着时间的推移，将正在进行的和新的 NIH 研究重点纳入该项目的课程中。
