FY2014 STEM Education Reorganization Initiative

The Agencys education efforts will be fundamentally restructured into a

consolidated education program funded through the Office of Education tosupport the Administrations FY 2014 Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) Education plan.

The Agencys education efforts will use evidence-based competitive processes

to fund the best education programs within NASA and coordinate closely withthe Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, and theSmithsonian Institution to broaden NASAs capability to inspire and educate.

TheAgencys STEM education efforts will align its STEM educationinvestments with the federal strategic plans of the National Science andTechnology Council (NSTC) Committee on STEM Education (CoSTEM).

The STEM Education Reorganization Initiative preserves Space Grant,EPSCoR, MUREP and GLOBE programs at NASA and refocuses $27 million to

facilitate the wider application of its best education assets.3

FY 2014 Programmatic Goals

9

Aerospace Research & Career Development (ARCD) - $33M

Strengthens the research capacity of the Nations colleges and universities

and provides opportunities that attract and prepare increasing numbers ofstudents for NASA-related careers.

Serves as a major link in the pipeline for addressing NASAs human capitalstrategies. The projects build, sustain, and effectively deploy the skilled,knowledgeable, diverse, and high-performing workforce needed to meet thecurrent and emerging needs of NASA and the Nation.

Contributes to the research needs of NASAs Mission Directorates and

advances the Nations scientific and technology innovation agendas.


10/14

FY 2014 Programmatic Goals

10

STEM Education & Accountability (SEA) - $61.2M

Provides competitive opportunities for universities, schools, NASA centers, visitorcenters, institutions of informal education, and other non-profit organizations.

Highlights content, workforce, resources and facilities from all NASA missiondirectorates, and expands the Agency's reach through content imbedded inSTEM coordination efforts.

Emphasizes undergraduate participation in STEM research and education,preparing future scientists and engineers to enter the STEM workforce.

Funds activities and assets that provide educators, learners, institutions or

communities with authentic experiences based on NASA's mission. Allowseducation usage of NASA flight platforms (e.g. ISS, SOFIA, reduced gravityaircraft, EarthKAM, etc.).

Ensures broad representation of underserved and underrepresented learners,educators and communities in NASA STEM activities and supports institutions

working to increase diversity in STEM fields..


11/14

FY 2014 ARCD Approach - $33M

11

National Space Grant College & Fellowship Project - $24M

$ 24M - RenewalsApproach

Initiate competitive grant opportunities for consortia in each state, PuertoRico and D.C. for award in FY 2015.

Provide hands-on experiences for students to prepare them for futureworkforce and/or academic careers.

Conduct state-based programs and projects in alignment with the NASAEducation Lines of Business.

Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) - $9M $4M - Renewals $5M - New Awards

Approach In FY 2014, NASA EPSCoR will issue a competitive call for extramural

research awards, and will also support the third year (of three) of theprojects infrastructure development awards to build NASA connections.

The research solicitation will focus on priority research and technologydevelopment needs of NASA Mission Directorates and the Office of the

Chief Technologist.


12/14

FY 2014 SEA Approach - $61.2M

12

Minority University Research & Education Project (MUREP)

$12M - Renewals $18M - New Awards

Approach

MUREP will support Historical Black Colleges and Universities

(HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), Hispanic ServingInstitutions (HSIs) and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs).

MUREP will continue to provide services supporting scholarships,internships, mentoring, and tutoring for underserved and

underrepresented students in K-12, informal, and higher educationsettings

Consistent with CoSTEM, MUREP will assess and implement activitiessupporting individuals from groups underrepresented in STEM (women,

persons with disabilities, and racial and ethnic minorities).


13/14

FY 2014 SEA Approach - $61.2M (Continued)

13

STEM Education and Accountability (SEA) Project - $31.2M $4.5 million for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE),

a worldwide hands-on, primary, and secondary school-based science and educationprogram.

$26.8 million to implement an evidence-based, competitive process that ensures the bestapplication of NASA assets to meet the nations education goals and that supports STEM

activities directed by the Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, andthe Smithsonian Institution. This includes the infrastructure necessary to support therigorous collection, evaluation, and dissemination of evidence of NASAs contributions

towards the achievement of wider STEM goals.

Approach Align SEA investments to CoSTEM education priorities.

Continue partnership competitions such as, but not limited, to NASA Visitor Centers and

organizations authorized by Public Law 109-155 SEC. 616., i.e. museums andplanetariums, to enhance partners programs related to space exploration, aeronautics,space science, earth science, or microgravity.

Identify innovations in education consistent with CoSTEM using validated practices thatcan improve STEM education impacts; fund evidenced-based evaluations, data collections,or performance reporting; and further reduce duplication among NASA investments inhigher education students.


14/14

FY 2014 Education Strategies

Expand partnerships with intergovernmental, academic, industrial, entrepreneurial,and international communities to leverage NASAs investments in STEM to reach a

greater number of students and educators.

Align Education Portfolio (Office of Education, Mission Directorates and Centeractivities) with the priorities and strategies in the CoSTEM 5-Year Strategic Plan.

All education activities will be aligned within four lines of business: NASAInternships, Fellowships and Scholarships; Institutional Engagement; Educator

Professional Development; and STEM Engagement Target resources to competitive opportunities for learners, educators, and institutions

Informal, pre- and in-service educator professional development; experientialopportunities, internships, and scholarships students

Utilize NASA's unique missions, discoveries, and assets to inspire studentachievement and educator teaching ability in STEM fields.

Continue Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) support tonations Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions and

Tribal Colleges and Universities through multi-year STEM grants to enhance theirresearch capabilities and STEM curricula.

In 2014, pursuant to congressional intent, allocates 67 percent of funds of budgetrequest to three existing projects: EPSCoR, MUREP, and Space Grant.
