The NCRR recently released information about 2011 Science Education Partnership (SEPA) awards: http://ncrr.nih.gov/science_education_partnership_awards/2011/2011.asp

The Program Announcement may be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-206.html

These awards are intended “…for the development and evaluation of innovative research education programs to improve PreK-12 research career opportunities and the community’s understanding of the health science advances supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded clinical and basic research. SEPA encourages dynamic partnerships between biomedical and clinical researchers and PreK-12 teachers and schools and other interested organizations. Particular importance will be given to applications that target PreK-12 and/or ISE/media topics that may not be addressed by existing curriculum, community-based or ISE/media activities.”
