BIOTRAC NATIONAL REPLICATION PROJECT (PHASE II)

迈阿密科学博物馆与迈阿密大学医学院合作，正在申请第二阶段拨款，以支持生物医学培训、研究和大学预科(BioTrac)项目在全国范围内的推广。第一阶段的目标是开发一种可复制的模式，旨在增加进入生物医学研究管道的未得到充分服务的学生的数量。第一阶段的重点是2000年健康人计划下的优先领域，反映社区关心的健康问题，以及密歇根大学杰克逊纪念医疗中心提供的资源。包括以实践项目为基础的方案编制、职业意识活动、大学准备、研究实习和 从大学住宿经历来看，到目前为止，该项目已经为98名学生提供了服务，其中88%是低收入家庭，96%居住在以英语为第二语言的家庭。到目前为止，已毕业的43名大四学生中，有42人正在攻读大专课程。在这些学生中，52%选择了与科学相关的专业，其中73%选择了生物医学课程。根据拟议的第二阶段项目，博物馆将把BioTrac作为国家示范点，通过设在现场的研究所、远程学习机会以及专业会议和出版物，将BioTrac战略和材料推广到正规和非正规科学机构(ISIS)。在演示中继续提供BioTrac编程 SITE还将进一步增加进入生物医学研究渠道的代表不足的学生的数量，并允许开展旨在增加公众对2010年健康人优先事项和生物医学研究的了解的进一步规划。博物馆将以ISIS为目标，开展青年项目，让他们参加为期3天的复制研究所，在赠款期间至少达到30名ISIS。通过参加由代表340个ISIS的科学技术中心协会主办的国家会议和专业发展，该模式有能力影响全国的大中小科学中心。该模型还将适用于其他123个上界数学和科学中心，这些中心从事面向未得到充分服务的青年的科学丰富方案。最后，该模式的要素将适用于以校本为基础的课外科学俱乐部和专注于生物医学的高中磁铁项目，进一步将该模式的潜在影响扩展到全国学区。

The Miami Museum of Science, in collaboration with University of Miami's (UM) School of Medicine, is requesting a Phase II grant to support national replication of the Biomedical Training, Research and College Prep (BioTrac) Project. The goal of Phase I, now in its final year of funding, was to develop a replicable model aimed at increasing the numbers of underserved students entering the biomedical research pipeline. Phase I focused on priority areas under Healthy People 2000 reflecting health issues of interest to the community as well as resources available through UM's Jackson Memorial Medical Center. Comprising hands-on project-based programming, career awareness activities, college prep, research internships and college residential experiences, the project has served 98 students to date, of whom 88% are low-income and 96% reside in homes where English is the second language. Of the 43 seniors who have graduated to date, 42 are enrolled in post-secondary studies. Of these, 52% have chosen a science-related major, and of these, 73% have chosen a biomedical course of study. Under the proposed Phase II project, the Museum will establish BioTrac as a national demonstration site, extending BioTrac strategies and materials to formal and informal science institutions (ISis) through site-based institutes, distance-learning opportunities and professional conferences and publications. Continued delivery of BioTrac programming at the demonstration site will also further increase the number of underrepresented students entering the biomedical research pipeline, and allow for further programming aimed at increasing public understanding of Healthy People 2010 priorities and biomedical research. The Museum will target ISis with youth programs to attend a 3-day replication institute, reaching a minimum of 30 ISis during the grant. Through participation in national conferences and professional development sponsored by the Association of Science-Technology Centers, representing 340 ISis, the model has the capacity to impact small, medium, and large science centers nationwide. The model will also be adaptable for use by the other 123 Upward Bound Math & Science Centers engaged in science enrichment programming for underserved youth. Finally, elements of the model will be suitable for extracurricular school-based science clubs and high school magnet programs focused on biomedicine, further extending the potential impact of the model to school districts nationwide.
