-### **Ebola Research Proposal**
 **Scenario:**  
-Ebola Virus Disease is a highly contagious and often deadly illness that has caused several outbreaks in West Africa. Research has shown that community-based health interventions—such as public health education, rapid diagnostic testing, and localized quarantine measures—can play a crucial role in controlling outbreaks.

+Part 1: Namrita was born in India and is currently teaching mathematics at Columbia University.  Namrita is really enjoying her new classes and making new friends in the Biology Department. Over the summer, Namrita took a trip to Mount Washington with her husband, John. John noticed that Namrita was having issues hiking up the mountains. She was breathing faster than usual, and it seemed as if she could not get enough oxygen to her lungs. Namrita is healthy and has no major medical issues, so John did not think much of it. He thought to himself “Maybe Namrita was just tired from traveling.”. 
+
+The next day, the same thing happened to Namrita, and she had to stop the hike. At this point, John became concerned and decided to end the trip. Also, John and Namrita are planning to start a family very soon. So, once back home, John urged Namrita to make an appointment with her primary physician and to explain what happened on their trip. The doctor did a routine examination of Namrita and ordered some tests.  Namrita went home and anxiously waited for her test results.
+
+Questions to do in class after this part:
+
+What might be wrong with Namrita? (come up with 3 different conditions that might explain Namrita's symptoms)
+What type(s) of testing do you think the doctor should run for Namrita? Why?
+
+Part 2: Namrita is relaxing by the pool, when she hears the phone ring upstairs.  She rushes to the second floor to answer her phone. Namrita notices that she is having a hard time with her breathing after reaching the second floor. Namrita’s doctor is on the other end with her test results. The doctor says that Namrita’s blood work indicates there might be a problem with her red blood cells and that Namrita has symptoms of something called sickle cell. The doctor also suggested making an appointment with the OBGYN doctor since she is pregnant. 
+
+Namrita is shocked! First, she is so excited to find out she is pregnant. She and John have been trying to get pregnant, but she didn’t realize it would happen so fast. On the other hand, she is a bit worried to hear that something might be wrong with her blood. Namrita checked her MyChart and saw the image of her blood smears. She got a pit in her stomach when she realized the images of her red blood cells were different from the comparison image her doctor provided. She wonders what that means for her and her baby.   Namrita had never heard of this blood disorder before. Namrita decided to reach out to her friends in the biology department to see if they could help in answering some of her questions. The list of Namrita’s questions is below and, as her friends, do your best to try and answer them for her.
+
+
+
+Namrita’s Questions: 
+1.	What is sickle cell trait? Sickle anemia?
+2.	What is the cause? What are the symptoms? How does the sickle cell cause these symptoms?
+3.	How did Namrita’s doctor make the diagnosis? Does the diagnosis explain the symptoms?
+4.	Why should Namrita see her OBGYN doctor? What further tests are needed? 
+
+
+At the appointment with their OBGYN, Namrita and her husband, John, were asked how much they knew of their family medical history, as well as their family genetic history. “Your blood test results indicate that you are a carrier for sickle cell, which is important for you to know and especially for your child.  Has your partner, John, been tested?”
+
+Namrita (Indian descent) and John (European descent) had different reactions to the diagnosis. Namrita remembers some family members experiencing sickle cell, while John was unaware of sickle cell. He has a vague memory of hearing about it during Biology class a few years ago.  Both want to understand the potential risks for their child.  Therefore, John got the genetic testing done.
+
+Day 1 Guiding Questions (including Namrita’s questions; to be completed by Day 2)
+1.	What do you think is the inheritance pattern for sickle cell?  
+2.	Research the genetics of sickle cell anemia, including information on the mutation involved. 
+3.	Model meiosis and show how Namrita can pass along the sickle cell allele to her baby.
+4.	Where is the SCD gene located? Show how the allele may be inherited through meiosis and independent assortment.
+
 **Your Task:**  
 Develop a concise research proposal (approximately 1-2 pages) that addresses the following research question:
-**Research Question:**  
-"How do community-based health interventions affect the transmission rate of Ebola in West Africa?"
+
 In your proposal, please include the following:
 1. **Background Summary:**  
    * Provide a brief (1–2 paragraph) description of Ebola's transmission dynamics and the importance of community-based health interventions.  
 2. **Research Focus:**  
    * Clearly restate the research question above, ensuring it is integrated with your background discussion.  
-3. **Testable Hypotheses:**  
-   * Propose **one or two specific, testable hypotheses** that you could investigate to determine the impact of community-based interventions on the transmission rate of Ebola.  
-   * For example, one hypothesis might state that the implementation of community health education programs will reduce Ebola transmission rates.  
-   * Ensure that your hypotheses are directly connected to the research question and are stated in clear, measurable terms.

-## **Grading Rubric:**
-1. **Clarity of Background and Research Question (3 points)**  
-   * *3 Points:* Provides a clear, concise background on Ebola's transmission and the role of community interventions, and restates the research question effectively.  
-   * *2 Points:* Offers a generally clear background and research question, but with minor lapses in detail or clarity.  
-   * *1 or 0 Points:* Background and research question are vague or incomplete.
-2. **Quality and Specificity of Hypotheses (4 points)**  
-   * *4 Points:* Presents one to two precise, measurable, and directly relevant hypotheses that clearly relate to the research question.  
-   * *3 Points:* Hypotheses are stated and relevant but could benefit from more precise wording or stronger connection to the research question.  
-   * *2 or Fewer Points:* Hypotheses are poorly defined, insufficient in number, or lack clear relevance to the question.
-3. **Integration of Evidence-Based Reasoning (3 points)**  
-   * *3 Points:* Effectively integrates relevant scientific evidence or literature to support the background discussion and the formulation of hypotheses.  
-   * *2 Points:* Provides some evidence-based reasoning, though the integration of supporting evidence may be incomplete or not fully connected.  
-   * *1 or 0 Points:* Lacks evidence-based reasoning or fails to integrate any relevant supporting information.
