Application Deadline: July 16, 2010
Pre-Proposal Teleconference: June 24, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. EDT

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is hoping to identify successful summer and other out-of-school programs that currently include one or both of these categories of interest: (1.) Student Achievement Impact with tangible evidence of a positive correlation between program participation and improved academic achievement in the subsequent, follow-on school year; and (2) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Careers Exploration with evidence of a positive impact between program participation and increased awareness of, and interest in STEM careers and career pathways.

Proposals will be accepted from non-profit organizations, state-based educational leadership organizations, and U.S. school districts that provide and deliver summer or other out-of-school learning programs, and that can demonstrate positive impact measures between their program and improved student academic learning and/or STEM career exploration.

Proposals must be submitted by the Authorizing Organizational Representative (AOR) no later than July 16, 2010, 11:59 p.m. EDT. All proposers, team members, and agency officials must be registered before proposal submission to NSPIRES.

Interested parties may attend an optional Pre-Proposal Teleconference on June 24, 2010, at 1 p.m. EDT. To join this teleconference, call 877-526-2957. Passcode: 2816530#.
