CFDA#:

OBJECTIVES:  Space Grant Fellows will develop a project that
promotes the understanding of space-related research to the public.
Examples are working with educators (from primary/secondary schools,
science museums, parks/forests/reserves, 4-H and other Cooperative
Extension agents, etc.) by:developing curricular and/or educational
outreach materials designed to communicate science to a specific
audience (all precollege-related program materials should align with
Arizona and/or National Math, Science, Geography or Technology
Standards); developing informational databases (with science education
goals) for sharing over the Internet; developing skills in science
writing and journalism; developing a demonstration project and
associated educational materials for an existing educational program;
or designing and carrying-out some other creative science outreach
project.  Successful applicants tend to establish a relationship with
an organization or institution (i.e. a school, museum, park/forest, or
an existing educational program) as they develop their outreach
project proposal. It is essential that applicants identify an
"educational outreach advisor" representing this organization or
program who will provide an initial letter of support that indicates
their willingness to cooperate with the applicant's proposal and help
in evaluating the project during the fellowship period.

ELIGIBILITY
<p>A candidate must be a graduate student at The University of
Arizona studying in a space science/engineering-related discipline
(that is, helping address NASA's mission, which includes, for example,
Earth Sciences and Science Education) and be a citizen of the United
States. In addition, applicants must meet UA Graduate College
fellowship eligibility requirements to be considered for an award.
