About SEPA
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are dedicated to teaching future generations about cutting edge research in health and science. To this end, NIH's National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) initiated the Science Education Partnership Award Program (SEPA) in 1991. Through this competitive grants program, SEPA sponsors partnerships among researchers, educators, and community groups to share their knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm about health and science research with K-12 students and the general public. Designed to improve science and health literacy, these grants have funded projects at health science centers, universities, K-12 schools, science museums, and community organizations across the country (NCRR, 2004). This website has been designed to make the educational materials and expertise produced through these efforts accessible.
