The Chandra Cycle 10 Call for Proposals

Previous | CfP Home | TOC | Next


Chapter 9 – Education and Public Outreach


NASA’s Education programs support NASA’s mission and core values. NASA undertakes a leading role to inspire interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to make significant impacts in engaging underserved and underrepresented communities in STEM. NASA is committed to fostering education efforts that inspire, engage, and educate this Nation’s future workforce, the next generation of scientists, explorers, and innovators.

A separate CfP for supplemental Education and Public Outreach (EPO) proposals will be issued. EPO proposals will be solicited only from those US-based proposers whose research proposals have been recommended for an award in Chandra Cycle 10. We strongly encourage every successful US-based Stage 1 Chandra proposer to consider submitting an Education and Public Outreach (EPO) supplemental proposal.

The Chandra Cycle 10 EPO Grant Program’s Call for Proposals will be released on the Chandra website about mid-June 2008. Instructions and guidelines for preparing supplemental EPO proposals and the criteria for evaluating them will be posted, along with links to the relevant Science Mission Directorate Education sites and documents. The deadline for submitting an electronic copy of the Chandra EPO proposal will be 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, 24 October 2008 (with the hardcopy deadline being 4 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, 29 October 2008).
