NASA CASTS A WIDE NET FOR STEM EDUCATION PARTNERS

WASHINGTON -- NASA is inviting potential partners to help the agency
achieve its strategic goals for education.

Using its unique missions, discoveries, and assets, NASA supports
education inside and outside the formal classroom to inspire and
motivate educators and learners of all ages in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM). The agency is seeking unfunded
partnerships with organizations to engage new or broader audiences
across a national scale.

NASA recognizes the benefit of leveraging those unique resources and
abilities that partners can provide in order to improve efficiency
and maximize impact of its STEM efforts. This announcement requests
information from organizations interested in working with NASA to
improve STEM education in America.

Potential partnership activities are varied, and NASA is receptive to
a wide range of possibilities. All categories of domestic groups,
including U.S. federal government agencies, are eligible to respond
to this announcement. NASA particularly seeks responses from creative
organizations with wide-ranging areas of expertise that can affect
systemic change for improving STEM education. NASA will accept
responses through Dec. 31, 2014. Review of responses will begin April
1.
