Opportunity Summary:
The DELIVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS opportunity is a NASA Office of Education Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) focused on improving K-12 STEM education through the creation and distribution of instructional materials and learning experiences tied directly to NASA-related science, technology, engineering, and mathematics content. The central aim is to fund proposals that use innovative approaches to both develop and deliver educational materials, design engaging experiences that genuinely capture student interest, and actively involve participants in real STEM applications connected to NASA missions, data, and subject matter. While the effort is broadly framed as K-12, it is specifically meant to support secondary teaching and learning, with a clear emphasis on high school-level education.
This funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning NASA anticipates an active partnership role rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The solicitation is issued under 14 CFR Part 1260 and is intended for educational and nonprofit institutions, though the listed eligible applicant types include independent school districts as well as public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity falls under the Education activity category, does not require cost sharing or matching, and anticipates making about 12 awards. NASA also notes that even if the opportunity is posted on FedBizOpps.gov and/or Grants.gov, the agency retains the right to choose the most appropriate award instrument for any proposal selected under this announcement.
Applications are handled electronically through NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) at http://nspires.nasaprs.com, and proposals must be submitted through that system. The solicitation was posted July 17, 2009, with the CAN anticipated to be available in NSPIRES by July 30, 2009. The proposal deadline is September 25, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, and by that deadline applicants must submit electronically, at minimum, the Cover Page, Proposal Summary, and Budget Summary as part of the submission requirements. The funding opportunity number is NNG09Z130001, and it was set to archive on July 17, 2010.
For content-specific questions about the solicitation, NASA directs applicants to Dr. Antoinette C. Wells, National Project Manager at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (Antoinette.C.Wells@nasa.gov). For technical trouble accessing the announcement or general system support, applicants are pointed to the NAIS Support contact (nais.support@nasa.gov).
