> **NIH NIH R25** · MILWAUKEE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING · 2021 · $53,568

## Abstract

This request for supplemental funds will allow us to expand and refine instructional materials addressing
the science of coronavirus and the role that vaccines can play in eradicating this virus. Instructional
materials that will be created with these supplemental funds include (i) a video that specifically
addresses the science behind current vaccine development efforts and their testing in clinical trials, (ii)
physical models of coronavirus,… enhanced with augmented reality technology (iii) new molecular
landscape posters (featuring the art of David Goodsell) that present engaging images of a coronavirus
within a respiratory droplet and the structure of an mRNA vaccine and (iv) a condensation of the
AeroNab story into a video targeted to the general public. The materials created in tis project will be
made available to underserved minority students in both urban and rural settings.
