  4. NASA Education NASA Message Inspiration NASA powers inspiration that encourages future generations to explore, learn, and build a better future. NASA explores for answers that power our future Innovation NASA powers innovation that creates new jobs, new markets, and new technologies. Discovery NASA powers discovery that enables us to learn more about ourselves, our world, and how to manage and protect it.

  5. NASA Education NASA EPSCoR Results • Statistics • 43 Proposals Received • 23 Proposals Funded (53% selection rate) • $17.2 Million awarded • Jurisdictions Funded: • AL KY NE OK VT • AR LA NV PR WV • AK ME NH SC • ID MT NM SD • Proposals Funded by Mission Directorate: • ARMD – 5 Proposals SMD – 7 Proposals • ESMD – 5 Proposals SOMD – 1 Proposal • ESMD/SOMD (cross-cutting) – 5 Proposals

  6. NASA Education Consortium Development Competition • 17 Non-Designated Consortia Eligible • 1-Year Augmentation • Up to $177,000 • $45,000 Fellowship/Scholarship • $132,000 Minimum Match • Anticipate up to 5 Awards • Purpose – To focus on the Employ and Educate aspects of the Framework • Focus – Higher Education component of STEM pipeline • Targeted Outcome • Faculty and Research Support • Student Support • Student Involvement • Course Development • Targeted Institution Research and Academic Infrastructure

  7. NASA Education FY2007 Budget Packages • Program Office Objectives: • Complete review of each package as quickly as possible • Submit the grant paperwork as quickly as possible • Assist consortia in tracking 190+ grant actions (1st increment, 2nd increment, ESMD awards, EPSCoR RID, and EPSCoR Research) • Provide substantive feedback via telecom or email to all consortia • Overall Observations: • Identified areas for improvement for FY2008 Budget Call (language, tables, etc.) • There are some outstanding examples of successful retention strategies, pipeline programs, student success stories, MSI collaborative efforts. • 70% of Consortia completed the student tables accurately • The majority of Consortia responded very quickly to requests for clarification • Most Consortia demonstrated alignment with NASA Outcomes 1, 2, and 3 effectively • Areas for Improvement for some consortia • Stream-lining results and describing impact succinctly • Demonstrative “Evidence of Success”

  8. NASA Education Diversity • Status: Diversity Working Group • Met in DC on March 1, 2007 • Attended by: GA, HI, IN, MI, MN, NC, NH, NV, NY, OH • Agenda – Everyone shared a strategy or struggle • Recommendations: • Prepare and distribute minutes of meeting • Produce a “Best Practices” document • Engage regularly • Increase the visibility of successful strategies • Break-out sessions at national and regional meetings • Share results of national studies external to NASA • Stats from 06 Progress Reports: • 88% of Consortia described substantive collaboration with a Minority Serving Institution • 62% of Consortia met or exceeded the enrollment percentage for underrepresented minority students • 26% of the student awards were to underrepresented minority students (2006 Student Award Summary table) • 41% of the student awards were to female students (2006 Student Award Summary table)

  9. NASA Education Longitudinal Tracking 23% of all significant awards that ended in 2006 were awarded to underrepresented minority students. 2006 Employment 2006 Overall Results (N=2,354 Tracked Awardees) Tracking data represent 95% of significant awards that ended in 2006.
