Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of Space Science (OSS) is releasing a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN 01-OSS-01) soliciting proposals from organizations interested in serving as regional Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) Broker/Facilitators. The regional Broker/Facilitators are one of the critical supporting elements of the broad OSS approach to implementing a comprehensive space science E/PO Program. The Broker/Facilitator program is aimed at expanding the impact of OSS's E/PO programs by encouraging and facilitating the development of partnerships between the space science and education communities and by providing meaningful opportunities for underserved and underutilized groups to participate in OSS research and education programs. The Broker/Facilitators serve as bridges between the space science and education communities (including formal education, informal education, and public outreach organizations) and as agents to foster, facilitate, and nurture the process of channeling the expertise of the space science community into directions that will best benefit the educational process and contribute to the public understanding of space science. Participation in this program is open to all categories of U.S. organizations, including educational institutions, industry, nonprofit institutions, and other Government agencies. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's), other minority educational institutions, and small businesses and organizations owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals or women are particularly encouraged to apply. On or after March 9, 2001, this Cooperative Agreement Notice will be available electronically from the World Wide Web through the OSS home page by selecting "Research Opportunities" at: http://spacescience.nasa.gov . Obtain additional programmatic information from Dr. Philip Sakimoto, Broker/Facilitator Program Officer, Code SB, Office of Space Science, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; TEL: (202) 358-0949; E-mail: phil.sakimoto@hq.nasa.gov. This solicitation leading to the award of Cooperative Agreements is issued pursuant to title 14 CFR Part 1260 for all recipients.
