NIH SciEd Conference

建立和多样化一支符合国家生物医学、行为和临床研究的劳动力队伍 为了满足需要，美国国立卫生研究院投资于一些项目，这些项目在 大学预科水平。这些项目的重点是学前班到12年级(P-12)的学生和教师。 此外，还有来自服务不足社区的儿童及其家人。 一年一度的美国国立卫生研究院科学教育会议将参与这些健康和生物医学的个人聚集在一起 注重科学的P-12科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)项目。这个会议，它 原为科学教育合作伙伴奖(SEPA)计划的PI会议，一直在举行 自1991年以来每年一次。2012年，会议扩大到包括获奖者和来自美国国立卫生研究院资助的所有P- 12个STEM项目。每年有200-250人参加会议，包括个人投资和合作投资， 项目工作人员和评估员、参与项目的P-12级教师、国家卫生研究院工作人员以及 其他参与P-12 STEM教育的联邦机构，包括教育部、NASA、NOAA和NSF。这个 NIH年度科学教育会议是唯一一次由联邦资助的P-12 STEM会议，包括所有关键的 STEM机构计划。因此，它在机构间沟通和建立协同效应方面发挥着重要作用 不同机构资助的项目之间的互动。 每个为期2.5天的NIH Science Ed会议的目标是提供一个学习、分享、对话和 会议参与者之间的网络联系。这是通过全体会议、分组会议、海报和网络来实现的 会话。会议的成果包括更高质量的项目和项目评价，减少了 “重新发明车轮”项目的发生，以及美国国立卫生研究院资助的 项目以及与其他联邦STEM资助的P-12项目和方案的协同互动 经纪公司。美国国立卫生研究院科学教育会议的具体目标是： 具体目标1：提供关于P-12 STEM和ISE教育的趋势、问题和挑战的最新情况 与NIH获奖者相关的信息。 具体目标2：告知和教育NIH P-12 STEM社区关于严格评估 方法和仪器。 具体目标3：为获奖者提供分享信息、最佳做法和 挑战；为新项目提供指导；支持形成协作关系。 会议将在华盛顿特区举行。它们是由一个组委会策划的 NIH Science Ed PI和工作人员的数量，这一数字每年都会变化。一份年度会议报告将分发给 参与者、联邦P-12 STEM工作人员和NIH高级官员。会议将由一个 犹他大学受赠者团队，自2008年以来一直计划和主办NIH科学教育会议。

To build and diversify a workforce that meets the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs, the NIH invests in projects that provide science and health-related educational activities at the precollege level. These projects focus on students and teachers at the pre-kindergarten to grade 12 (P-12) level—as well as their families—who come from underserved communities. The annual NIH SciEd Conference brings together individuals involved in these health and biomedical science-focused P-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) projects. This conference, which originally was the PI meeting for the Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) program, has been held annually since 1991. In 2012, the conference expanded to include awardees and staff from all NIH-funded P- 12 STEM programs. Each year 200-250 individuals participate in the conference, including PIs and Co-PIs, project staff and evaluators, P-12 teachers who participate in projects, NIH staff, and representatives of other federal agencies involved in P-12 STEM education, including ED, NASA, NOAA and NSF. The annual NIH SciEd Conference is the only federally-funded P-12 STEM meeting that includes all of the key STEM agency programs. It thus plays an important role in interagency communication and building synergistic interactions among projects funded by different agencies. The goal of each 2.5-day NIH SciEd conference is to provide a forum for learning, sharing, dialogue, and networking among conference participants. This is accomplished via plenary, breakout, poster, and networking sessions. The outcomes of the conferences include higher quality projects and project evaluations, a reduced incidence of projects “reinventing the wheel,” and the development of collaborations between NIH-funded projects as well as synergistic interactions with P-12 projects and programs funded by the other federal STEM agencies. Specific Aims for the NIH SciEd Conference are: SPECIFIC AIM 1: Provide updates on trends, issues and challenges in P-12 STEM and ISE education that are relevant to NIH awardees. SPECIFIC AIM 2: Inform and educate the NIH P-12 STEM community about rigorous evaluation methods and instruments. SPECIFIC AIM 3: Provide opportunities for awardees to share information, best practices and challenges; provide mentoring for new projects; and support the formation of collaborations. The conferences will be held in the Washington, DC area. They are planned by an Organizing Committee of NIH SciEd PIs and staff, which changes each year. An annual conference report is disseminated to participants, federal P-12 STEM staff, and senior NIH officials. The conferences will be organized by a University of Utah grantee team that has planned and hosted the NIH SciEd conferences since 2008.
