Interactive Partnerships

Between biomedical and clinical researchers and pre-kindergarten to grade 12 (P-12) pre-service and in-service teachers, schools, and other interested organizations.

Diversity

Provides opportunities for students from underserved communities to consider careers in basic or clinical research, provides teachers with professional development in science content and teaching skills, and improves community health literacy through SEPA-funded science centers and museum exhibits on health and medicine.

Educational Resources

Classroom curricula, mobile laboratories, workshops, films, software, and websites that give K-12 students, teachers, and the public a better understanding of the life sciences.
