"Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) Program" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) Program is sponsored by National Institutes of Health (NIH). The SEPA program supports educational activities for pre-kindergarten to grade 12 (P-12) to ensure that students and teachers from all communities and regions have the opportunity to pursue studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
While primarily P-12 focused, projects that involve community colleges in supporting P-12 STEM education or in developing curriculum that prepares students for advanced technological education could be relevant.

Read articlePA-27-034, PA-27-035 and PA-27-036 replace the institute-specific R25 announcements that research education programs have been built around for a decade. NCI, NIDA and NIGMS have already expired theirs early. Here is what the consolidation actually changes: an 8% indirect cost ceiling, a US-citizens-and-permanent-residents participant rule, a cooperative agreement variant that only exists on one of the three, and no clinical-trial-allowed companion anywhere.
