This grant, offered by the NASA Langley Research Center Science Directorate, aims to extend NASA’s Earth Science Program to the education community. Its core purpose is to enhance STEM education quality and improve literacy regarding global climate and Earth system change among elementary, secondary, and undergraduate students and teachers. Proposals are invited across three key categories: Global Climate Change Science Research Experiences for students/teachers; using NASA Earth system data to strengthen teaching and learning; and improving teacher competency for climate education. This initiative encourages integrating NASA’s unique climate science contributions to enrich academic experiences and educator capabilities. Approximately $8 million is available for around 25 awards, each up to 3 years. Eligible entities include higher education, government agencies, school districts, nonprofits, and minority-serving institutions.

| Description: | The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center Science Directorate is releasing a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) soliciting proposals for Global Climate Change Education (GCCE): Research Experience, Teaching and Learning. 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 the students and teachers literacy about global climate and Earth system change at the elementary, secondary, and undergraduate levels. Each funded proposal is expected to make use of NASAs unique contributions in climate science to enhance students academic experiences and/or to improve educators abilities to engage their students. The GCCE project will consider proposals in the following three 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: Using NASA Earth system data and models to Strengthen Teaching and Learning about Global Climate Change in Formal Education; (3) Funding Category P: Improve Teacher Competency for Global Climate Change Education. 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 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 (with proof of nonprofit 501(c)(3) status), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU), as well as other minority-serving educational institutions. Notices of intent (NOIs) are strongly encouraged and are to be submitted electronically through NSPIRES at http://nspires.nasaprs.com . The CAN will be available electronically the first week in June 2009 through the NSPIRES website 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 Program Manager, NASA Langley Research Center, gcce-questions@lists.nasa.gov. |
