SEPA Grant

Amount and Duration of Award

The phase 2 implementation study is designed for a 3 year duration. The amount of the Implementation award is contingent upon Congressional approval of annual budgets but is anticipated to be approximately $800,000. for the entire three years. From this amount, UCSD Medical School will recieve just over half with remaining funds going to Helix High School for distribution to Helix and Morse. During this time, the program will be fine tuned so that it can easily integrate into a normal high school curriculum. In addition, an adjusted version of this program will be distributed to interested schools throughout the nation with the intent to establish this program as a model.

The phase 1 experimental pilot study was designed for a three year duration with the option to write for a phase 2 implementation award. The pilot award was first granted July 10th 1998. To cover all expenses for three years, Morse High School during year 1 & 2 and Helix High School during year 3, the consortiums under UCSD Medical school received approximately $100,000. per year for each of the three years. This amount was subsumed under the overall award.
