Below is a list of programs that have or continue to employ our services:
BioQuest Academy, funded by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at the National Institute of Health (NIH), offers intensive two-week programming and exposure to biomedical research, rigorous content, and lab activities for 11th grade Puget Sound students.
Washington Global Health Alliance Ambassador Program, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is a three-year project that uses education, training and mentoring strategies with teachers, students, school administrators and community stakeholders to prepare greater numbers of students who are aware of global health issues and are ready to pursue diverse global health fields of study.
BioQuest Site Explorations are half-day job shadows for an entire class of high school students who visit the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute for an introduction to global health, tour research laboratories, converse with practicing scientists, and complete a hands-on laboratory investigation in the BioQuest Discovery Lab.
BioQuest Out-of-School Time Program, funded by the Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at the National Institute of Health (NIH), provides a year-long, after-school mentorship for Academy students during their senior year of high school.
Everett Science Partnership – Observing and Improving Student Learning, funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Washington State Math and Science Partnership, is a three-year program in which teachers and facilitators work together to investigate classroom strategies that have the greatest impact on students’ learning in science.
Research Experience for Undergraduates Program at the Institute for Systems Biology provides experiences for undergraduate students who traditionally have limited access to cutting-edge research.
Systems Education Approach to Science, funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, is a five-year partnership with the Renton School District provides training for professional development providers to support a systems education approach to science in grades K-5.
Missouri University of Science and Technology Collaborative Research Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, establishes a global partnership with Colorado State University-Pueblo, University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, and the Universidad Publica de Navarra (Spain) and integrates cross-institutional, student-team global sustainability projects through its integrated supply chain management curriculum that addresses the important concepts of green manufacturing and green facility logistics built on global processes and sustainability factors.
National Center for Women and Information Technology Extension Services, funded by the National Science Foundation, invests in research and education supporting gender diversity, identifies research-based practices for progress, and implements these solutions across the country through its academic alliances.
Northwest Association for Biomedical Research – Collaborations to Understand Research and Ethics, funded by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at the National Institute of Health (NIH), addresses a fundamental need in science education by preparing teachers to address research and ethical issues with their students.
Promoting Equity in Engineering Relationships, a project funded by the National Science Foundation, leverages lessons learned from previously-funded NSF programs, and aims to increase the synergy and collaboration within and between institutions to raise awareness of biases, promote actions to counteract them, cultivate a welcoming climate, and build a foundation for future efforts.
Sustainable Agriculture Education Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, addresses the increasing demand for technicians skilled in agricultural practices by designing and implementing ecologically-balanced courses, and supporting students who take active roles in the production of healthy, sustainable, local food cultures and economies.
Improving the Effectiveness of Teacher Diagnostic Skills and Tools, funded by the National Science Foundation, establishes a partnership between the Physics Department at Seattle Pacific University and FACET Innovations in a five-year research and development effort that targets the in-depth preparation and enhancement of physics and physical science teachers for grades 5-10 in the Seattle Public Schools, the Spokane School District, and the Bellevue School District.
Collaborative Program for Hands-On Learning, Severe Weather, and Next-Generation Multi-Function Radar, funded by the National Science Foundation, creates an interdisciplinary, active-learning, and hands-on laboratory program that provides the knowledge and skills necessary for organizing real-time weather data, improving and preparing data for display, and interpreting its meteorological and scientific significance.
