  • About Us

    PSBR's mission is to promote a better public understanding of the importance of biomedical research and its contributions to human and animal health, with the goal of offering any person, regardless of age, gender, or income level, the opportunity to engage in scientific exploration and career-connected learning. PSBR carries out this mission by providing in-person activities, presentations, and experiences that support science and healthcare education, career awareness, and professional development opportunities. PSBR’s educational programming includes: The Great Grow Along, BioEYES delivery/partnership, annual student poster and essay contests, teacher professional development, and community engagement. As a result of the impact and success of its educational programs, PSBR established its SPARC (Science Program and Research Coach) program in 2019. Through SPARC, PSBR provides mobile, hands-on, career-infused biomedical science programming designed to inspire students to pursue further science-related education and careers.
