The Hutch Fellowship for Excellence in STEM Teaching is a two-summer program for science educators seeking an in-depth, biomedical research experience at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, WA. The fellowship provides support for two paid summers of cancer-focused biomedical research experience in a host lab and curriculum design activities, with additional school year follow-up. While this program is designed for secondary life science teachers, it is open to other STEM teachers as well.
The Hutch Fellowship for Excellence in STEM Teaching is a part of the Pathways to Cancer Research program funded by a Youth Enjoy Science (YES) grant from the National Cancer Institute (grant number R25CA221770). Pathways to Cancer Research materials are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the NCI or NIH.

Partners in Science 2.0 @ Fred Hutch (PS2@FH) is a paid two-summer program for secondary science educators seeking an in-depth, biomedical research experience at Fred Hutch Cancer Center. PS2@FH supports the professional growth of secondary science teachers and allows them to share insights about biomedical and cancer research with their students. At the same time, Partner teachers contribute to the scientific efforts within Fred Hutch research labs. Our South Lake Union campus is within commuting distance to many local school districts in the greater Puget Sound area. The PS2@FH program pairs each Partner teacher with a Mentor scientist for two summers of mentored research. It is based on the popular Partners in Science program model developed by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust. Contact: Program Manager Kristen Bergsman, PhD bergsman@fredhutch.org.
The Science Education Partnership (SEP) at Fred Hutch Cancer Center exemplifies a true partnership between scientists and educators. Since 1991, SEP has paired research scientists with over 560 secondary school science teachers in Washington state. We believe that teachers and scientists both play a crucial role in promoting a greater understanding of biomedical research in our community and have much to offer one another. Through workshops and a summer professional development program , teachers learn molecular biology techniques and participate in laboratory research. Additionally, they can practice and learn more about science education as well as gaining access to our Kit Loan Program, which include complete lesson plans, biotechnology equipment, and supplies.
