A UCSF volunteer and a teacher plan a lesson.

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.
