Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA), Johnson Space Center (JSC), Office of Education (OE), is
releasing a Cooperative Agreement Notice (NNJ08237878C) for submission
of proposals to support the administration and activities of Teaching
From Space (TFS). TFS is a NASA Education office co-located with the
Astronaut Office at Johnson Space Center (JSC). As part of the FY2006
realignment of NASA Education projects from NASA Headquarters to NASA
Field Centers, management of the Educator Astronaut Project (EAP) and
Education Flight Projects (EFP) and their associated activities
transitioned to the JSC Education Office and were integrated with TFS.
JSC is the Lead Center for the projects and other NASA Field Centers and
JPL are involved in the implementation of project activities. The JSC
Education Office has a single project manager for TFS activities.
EAP/EFP and other TFS activities offer NASA Education unique
capabilities and opportunities to involve educators and students through
astronaut training, spaceflight missions, on-orbit education activities,
future flight platforms and space missions, and a variety of education
flight projects. All TFS activities are designed to support an
integrated vision and objectives. The vision for TFS is: Facilitate
education opportunities that use the unique environment of spaceflight
and other flight platforms. TFS will focus its efforts to meet three
objectives: 1. Develop and provide NASA-unique experiences,
opportunities, content, and resources to educators and students to
increase K-12 student interest in STEM disciplines. 2. Develop and
facilitate a NEAT-like (Network of Educator Astronaut Teachers) group of
highly motivated educators. 3. Build internal and external partnerships
with formal and informal education communities to create unique learning
opportunities and professional development experiences. Institutions
eligible to respond to this CAN are limited to higher education
institutions, nonprofit organizations, or consortia of organizations and
institutions serving higher education. Upon it's release date, this CAN
will be available electronically through http://www.grants.gov/.
