NASA/EPSCoR Programs:


LaSPACE K-12 / Outreach Programs

NASA has divided Space Grant projects that are not research or fellowships/ scholarships into four categories:

  • 1. K - 12 Programs -- K-12 ( or precollege) programs and activities enhance and broaden knowledge of both student and teachers, and include teacher preparation and enhancement, curriculum development, and student opportunities. Such activities generally occur in a formal education setting.

  • 2. Higher Education Programs -- Higher education programs are those taking place at the collegiate level and encompass those activities which serve students, faculty, and/or the institution. Activities include, but are not limited to, curriculum development, design and implementation of new major and minor areas of study, hands-on activities, conferences, other student support (exclusive of scholarships; includes undergraduate, but not graduate level) research related activities, and workshops as well as the development and dissemination of software, problem sets, videos, publications, and labs. Higher education programs are excellent vehicles for Space Grant to promote the use of mentors and role models as well as establish interdisciplinary courses and centers.

  • 3. General Public Programs -- Public service activities, which did not fall under the category of K-12, included cooperative extension activity, public lectures, programs which offered films or NASA Select programming, exhibits, and demonstrations.

  • 4. External Relations Programs -- External Programs refer to those programs that involve the name, personnel, and facilities of the university or college that is running the program that serve institutions not covered by K-12 and the General Public sections. Target institutions include industry, federal (non-NASA), state and local government, professional societies, international organizations, and non-profit organizations such as philanthropies. It is expected that the programs will involve the provision of expert advice and/or training. It does not include consulting, which is considered a private arrangement not formally involving the name of the university or the Space Grant program.
