NASA Science encourages all people to actively participate in science through activities and resources developed by a collaborative network of project teams drawing on NASA SMD assets (science content, experts, data, etc.). Your team can apply to be part of this program.
Opportunity
NASA SMD seeks a portfolio of projects that together :
Cover the full breadth of NASA science disciplines
Operate across all 50 states plus U.S. territories
Reach people of all ages and backgrounds
Work in both formal and informal learning contexts
Engage community partners to deepen and extend the reach and impact of NASA science
Projects
NASA seeks a balance of projects that (1) seek to broadly share resources and opportunities that leverage NASA assets, and (2) seek to meet specific community (both geographically- and interest-based) needs through NASA assets .
Eligibility
Participation is open to all categories of U.S. institutions, except media organizations since broadcast communication is not a focus.
Non-U.S. participation in teaming arrangements or leveraging relationships on proposals submitted by U.S. institutions may only be proposed at no cost to NASA.
Important Dates
January 9, 2 pm Eastern: Pre-proposal Webinar (see opportunity for access details)
