Science Education Partnership Awards (SEPA) are designed to improve life science
literacy throughout the Nation. These grants bring together biomedical and behavioral
researchers, educators, community groups, and other interested organizations in
partnerships to create and disseminate programs that give K-12 students and teachers
and the general public a better understanding of life sciences. The NCRR Division
for Clinical Research Resources (DCRR) supports the SEPA Program, which funds science centers
and museums across the country. Several academic institutions have formed partnerships
with these science centers and museums, which use their information networks to
develop stationary and traveling exhibits on fundamental biology and related topics.
Researchers who study human disease and illness can make major contributions to
science education programs by passing on their knowledge and also demonstrating
the excitement of carrying out health-related research. SEPA funding provides
researchers the vehicle for conveying both their knowledge and appreciation of
scientific accomplishments.
