EDUCATION ASSOCIATES PROGRAM
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center is releasing a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) to solicit proposals to administer the Education Associates Program (EAP).
The EAP is a unique self-sustaining workforce development education program.
The program provides a means for NASA scientists and managers to tap higher education institutions for students and faculty in a quick turn-around process.
It provides participants hands-on experience with NASA scientists, engineers and program managers on a range of NASA projects and missions.
Students receive academic credit for the experience.
Through this program, NASA demonstrates its commitment to attract students into NASA?s education pipeline and provides competency-building research and education opportunities for faculty, with a special emphasis on those from underrepresented and underserved groups.
The EAP will provide opportunities to students majoring in fields related to NASA?s science and technology interests and to faculty in STEM disciplines.
NASA will release a CAN on December 19, 2008, with proposals due on February 6, 200 9. Selection is expected to be announced on February 23, 2009, with award anticipated on April 1, 200 9.
Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
All eligible, responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.
Institutions eligible to respond to this CAN are limited to higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, or consortia of organizations and institutions serving higher education students.
Partnerships within these institutions and/or organizations are encouraged to apply.
Upon its release date, this CAN will be available electronically through http://nspires.nasaprs.com .
This solicitation leading to the award of a Cooperative Agreement is issued pursuant to title 14 CFR Part 1260 for educational and nonprofit institutions.
Notwithstanding the posting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov, Grants.gov, or at both sites, NASA reserves the right to determine the appropriate award instrument for each proposal selected pursuant to this announcement.
