Small Museum Research Collaborative: Exhibit-based Outreach/ Phase I & II

俄勒冈州科学与工业博物馆（OMSI）与小型博物馆研究中心合作 合作（SMRC），建议创建四个小型双语（英语和西班牙语）展览，为国家 参观小型博物馆。展览将集中在营养和身体活动方面的最新临床研究 及其在个人和家庭健康方面的应用。我们计划建造四座700平方英尺的 展览：两个相同的展览，重点是营养和两个相同的展览，重点是 体力活动。OMSI的SMRC合作伙伴带来了五个地理位置和 主题多样的小型博物馆。作为领导机构，OMSI带来了超过19年的 在创建和参观国家展览以及与其他博物馆合作项目方面的经验。 前端，形成性，补救和总结性评价将与家庭观众在OMSI进行 SMRC网站为了扩大游客体验，OMSI和SMRC将制作相关的教育 材料和方案，包括网站、教师指南、小型博物馆工作人员培训、远程- 学习计划和互动演示。将建立一个SMRC远程学习网络， 节目传播。该项目将在当地研究科学家的支持下开发， 俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）综合临床研究中心（GCRC）和其他专家 在营养和健身研究、医疗保健和教育方面。 该项目的观众是家庭和K-5学校团体参观小型科学和儿童博物馆， 全国农村和小城市社区。拉丁美洲家庭也是该项目的优先受众。 四个巡回展览中的每一个每年将在三个地点巡回展出，为期至少八年。我们 保守估计，在全国图尔斯巡展期间，将有超过两百万人次前来参观。这 项目提供了一个强大的机会，以达到博物馆游客在农村和服务不足的社区， 邀请家庭一起追求健康的营养和体育活动，并提出和解释临床 为不同受众提供的研究成果。

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), in collaboration with the Small Museum Research Collaborative (SMRC), proposes to create four small bilingual (English and Spanish) exhibitions for national tour to small museums. The exhibitions will focus on current clinical research in nutrition and physical activity and its applications to personal and family wellness. We propose to build four 700-square-foot traveling exhibitions: two identical exhibitions with a focus on nutrition and two identical exhibitions with a focus on physical activity. OMSI's SMRC partners bring the experiences and resources of five geographically and thematically diverse small museums to this project. As the lead institution, OMSI brings over 19years' experience in creating and touring national exhibitions and in collaborative projects with other museums. Front-end, formative, remedial, and summative evaluation will be conducted with family audiences at OMSI and SMRC sites. To extend the visitor experience, OMSI and SMRC will produce related educational materials and programs including a web site, teachers' guides, small museum staff training, distance- learning programs, and interactive presentations. A SMRC distance-learning network will be created for program dissemination. The project will be developed with the support of local research scientists at the Oregon Health & Science University's (OHSU) General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) and other experts in nutrition and fitness research, health care, and education. The project's audience is family and K-5 school group visitors to small science and children's museums in rural and small urban communities nationwide. Latino families are also a priority audience for the project. Each of the four traveling exhibitions will tour to three venues a year for a minimum of eight years. We conservatively estimate that over two million people will visit the exhibitions during their national tours. This project presents a powerful opportunity to reach museum visitors in rural and underserved communities, to invite families to pursue healthy nutrition and physical activity together, and to present and interpret clinical research findings for diverse audiences.
