The Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) is a collaboration between the University of California, San Francisco and the San Francisco Unified School District. Scientists and educators from both organizations work in partnership to support quality science education for K-12 students.
SEP,
founded in 1987 and currently housed in the Department
of Biochemistry & Biophysics, is nationally recognized as a model
partnership between a university and a local public school system. Since
1989, SEP has been awarded nearly $9-million in competitive federal, private,
and state awards. SEP is currently funded by the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute, by a NIH-Science
Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National
Center for Research Resources (NCRR), the Bechtel Foundation, the UCSF
Chancellor’s Office, the UCSF
School of Medicine, and the California
Science Project.
ROAD CLOSURE: Medical Center Way will be closed at the bottom of the road (near Parnassus), from August 19, 2008-June 2009 due to construction. Please see the directions page for a map of an alternate route to SEP and the Daly Ralston Resource Center.
Schools Focused on Science Resources: Elementary School Teacher created resources to help with FOSS kits, Family Science Nights, Science Fairs, Assessment and more!

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a graduate biomedical research institution consisting of four professional schools and a graduate division. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, faculty, medical students, pharmacy students, and other health students and professionals from UCSF comprise SEP's pool of scientist volunteers. Each year, over 300 UCSF volunteers contribute approximately 10,000 hours of service.
The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is a large and diverse urban school district with a history of achievement in science education reform. Each year, over 400 SFUSD K-12 teachers and their students participate in SEP programs, representing 80-90 percent of SFUSD’s schools.
What’s New?
For SFUSD Kindergarten Teachers: August City Science : Wood and Paper Course:
With the support of SFUSD, The UCSF Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) is pleased to announce a second offering of the City Science Kindergarten FOSS: Wood and Paper Course, to be held this summer, the week of August 10-14th, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm.

Thank You !
SEP salutes the UCSF Volunteers and SFUSD Teachers for their dedication to science education during the academic year.
In 2008-2009, SEP programs partnered over 250 UCSF volunteers with SF public school teachers to enrich science teaching and learning for more than 15,000 K-12 students. SEP programs reach 85% of the public schools in San Francisco annually.
