Outcomes for the 2006 NASA Strategic Plan
Task: Align with the three Education Priorities:
- Workforce Development
- Strengthening the Pipeline
- Public Benefit
The NASA Education portfolio is guided by three expected outcomes:
Outcome 1: Contribute to the development of the STEM workforce in
disciplines needed to achieve NASA’s strategic goals, through a portfolio of
investments.
Outcome 2: Attract and retain students in STEM disciplines through a
progression of educational opportunities for students, teachers and faculty.
Outcome 3: Build strategic partnerships and linkages between STEM formal
and informal education providers that promote STEM literacy and
awareness of NASA’s mission.

Contributions to NASA Education Outcomes
Consortium XYZ – excerpt from FY2006 Budget Package
The overarching theme of our program is the development of aerospace and STEM workforce -for NASA, XYZ Consortium, and the Nation. Our comprehensive mix of program elements is based
upon the needs and capabilities of XYZ Consortium in addressing NASA Education Outcomes:
Aerospace Workforce Development
is XYZ Consortium’s prime goal, supported by each of the following elements, and by interdisciplinary, team-mission projects
and links with NASA (ED-1,2)
Faculty Researchers
are resources at the highest level in the workforce, to provide enhanced emphasis on student research, NASA collaboration,
and Center visits (ED-1,2)
Graduate Fellowships
support mentored research for graduate student development, with enhanced NASA collaboration for Fellowship projects and
NASA Center visits (ED-1,2)
Undergraduate Scholarships
support mentored research for undergraduate students, with enhanced participation in NASA internship programs (ED-1,2)
Teacher Training
prepares teachers for inspiring students in the STEM pipeline, with enhanced NASA-based materials for use in classrooms,
and with pre-service internships (ED-2)
Public Support
is promoted through involvement for awareness of aerospace issues and NASA, with enhanced support for leveraging
Informal education partnerships (ED-3)

Public Outreach versus Informal Education
Public Outreach
The intent is to raise awareness of, or interest in, NASA, its goals, missions
and/or programs, and to develop an appreciation for and exposure to science,
technology, research and exploration.
Informal Education
The intent is to increase learning, to educate students, educators and the
general public on specific science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM)
content areas, and to expand the nation’s future STEM workforce.
In addition to intent, an Informal Education project must also include at
least two of the following components:
√ Supplemental Materials/Handouts
√ Staffing
√ Content
