This grant, offered by the NASA Langley Research Center, aims to enhance global climate and Earth system science education. It seeks proposals to extend NASA’s Earth Science Program results to the education community, improving STEM literacy for students and teachers from elementary to lifelong learners. Funded projects should utilize NASA’s unique climate science contributions to enrich academic experiences or improve educators’ abilities. Proposals are considered in two categories: Global Climate Change Science Research Experiences for students and teachers, and using NASA Earth system data/models to strengthen teaching. Approximately $8 million is available for up to 3-year projects, expecting 20-25 awards. Eligible U.S. organizations include higher education institutions, government agencies, school districts, and non-profits, including minority-serving institutions.

| Description: | The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center (LaRC) is releasing a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) soliciting proposals for “Global Climate Change Education (GCCE): Research Experiences, Modeling and Data”. The objective of the effort is to extend the results of NASAs Earth Science Program to the education community by sponsoring unique and stimulating opportunities for global climate and Earth system science education. GCCE is designed to improve the quality of the Nations STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education and enhance students and teachers literacy about global climate and Earth system change from elementary grades to life-long learners. Each funded proposal is expected to make use of NASAs unique contributions in climate science to enhance learners’ academic experiences and/or to improve educators abilities to engage their students. The GCCE project will consider proposals in the following two funding categories: (1) Funding Category R: Global Climate Change Science Research Experiences for Undergraduate or Community College Students and Pre- or In-Service Teachers including those in nontraditional teacher licensure programs; (2) Funding Category D/M: Using NASA Earth system data, interactive models and/or simulations to Strengthen Teaching and Learning about Global Climate Change. The anticipated total amount of funding available for new awards under this solicitation is approximately $8 million. Projects may be proposed for durations of up to 3 years. It is anticipated that approximately 20 – 25 awards will be issued. Participation is open to the following categories of U.S organizations: higher educational institutions, state, local or federally-recognized tribal government agencies, public school districts, nonprofit institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU), as well as other minority-serving education al institutions. Notices of intent (NOIs) are strongly encouraged and are to be submitted electronically through NSPIRES at http://nspires.nasaprs.com . Potential offerors are responsible for downloading the CAN and amendments (if any). This solicitation leading to the award of a Cooperative Agreement is issued pursuant to title 14 CFR Part 1260 for educational and nonprofit institutions. Additional questions regarding the solicitation and programmatic information can be obtained from: Dr Lin Chambers, Global Climate Change Education Project Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center, gcce-questions@lists.nasa.gov |
