Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is announcing opportunities to participate in Earth Science Enterprise research and development activities focused on Earth Science Education. NASA’s Earth Science and Education Enterprises are jointly supporting this opportunity. Innovative solutions for systematically increasing the usability of NASA Earth Science knowledge and data resources in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education are requested. Proposals are invited in three key areas: 1) increasing K-12 educator support for teaching Earth science and geography; 2) strengthening undergraduate institutional capacity in Earth system science and applications; and 3) enriching public scientific literacy about the Earth system and environment. Emphasis is placed on expanding program impact, particularly among underrepresented, underserved and disadvantaged populations. This NRA specifically seeks proposals utilizing digital information infrastructures and extensive education networks to serve broad and diverse audiences. Proposals must be submitted by US institutions. Approximately 60% of funds are designated for colleges and universities identified by the US Department of Education as minority educational institutions. This solicitation will be available electronically on the release date via the Internet at the Earth Science Enterprise Home Page: http://www.earth.nasa.gov/ under “Research Opportunities.” Paper copies of the announcement will be available to those who do not have Internet access by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice-mail message. The following dates apply to this announcement: “This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 6.102 (d) (2). Notwithstanding the posting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov, Grants.gov, or at both sites, NASA reserves the right to determine the appropriate award instrument for each proposal selected pursuant to this announcement.
