Objectives: We describe new curriculum materials for engaging secondary school students in exploring the "big data" in the NIH All of Us Research Program's Public Data Browser and the co-design processes used to collaboratively develop the materials. We also describe the methods used to develop and validate assessment items for studying the efficacy of the materials for student learning as well as preliminary findings from these studies.

Materials And Methods: Secondary-level biology teachers from across the United States participated in a 2.

A series of N-((1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)arylamides was synthesized by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and afforded inhibitors of cancer cell growth. For example, compound 13e had an IC(50) of 46 nM against MCF-7 human breast tumor cells. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies demonstrated that (i) meta-phenoxy substitution of the N-1-benzyl group is important for antiproliferative activity and (ii) a variety of heterocyclic substitutions for the aryl group of the arylamide are tolerated.
