FY08 SMD Education Portfolio 296 education projects imbedded in 56 SMD missions. 15 competitively selected education projects. (selected in Nov 2007) GLOBE Total education project funding ~$25M (total EPO budget ~50M)

Recent Developments Selected 15 proposals for SMD EPO. AreaProposals Higher Education1 E & S Education5 Informal Education7 Outreach2 Abstracts at ESS06_Selections.pdf

R&A / EPO: Communication SARA website –One stop shopping for all R&A and EPO needs –Has budget FAQs and Grant Stats –Contact info for every Program Officer –Division Corners has an explanation of each division handles R&A –Letters from SARA every other week –Dynamic website with new pages added each update Check the SMD SARA site Google NASA SARA or go to: SARA since April 2007 SARA visits : Universities, Science conferences, Centers, Committees

E/PO: MOWG Charge and Challenges Evaluate the fiscal viability of SMD E/PO programs and support structures. Balance the SMD E/PO portfolio to meet the needs of NASA and the SMD directorate. Generate pathways to long-term SMD E/PO stability. Establish more accessible outreach mechanisms for researchers. Evaluate the model of the SMD Support Groups. Outreach opportunities for scientists are more burdensome than need be. Diverse education portfolio is vulnerable and unsustainable in the current funding climate. Increased professionalism of E/PO personnel across the country means that the kinds of support infrastructure needed by SMD E/PO is shifting.

E/PO: MOWG –Members from all four SMD science communities. –Telecons weekly; 2-day meeting in DC Mar. 6-7 –Contact Emily CoBabe-Ammann with any questions ( ) Emily CoBabe-Ammann (chair) U.

R & A

R&A: MOWG R&A MOWG – Formed, meets by telecon weekly –Charge: provide input on a number of topics under consideration as process improvements for the SMD's overall R&A program (process, program balance, gaps within a division or across directorate) –Telecons so far: Feb 12 and 28 Developing community survey questions to evaluate concerns across the four divisions: are they the same? are the solutions the same?

R&A: MOWG Guenter Riegler, Chair (Astrophysics) Steve Bougher, Michigan, Co-Chair (Planetary Science) Spiro Antiochos, GSFC (Heliophysics) Josh Grindlay, Harvard (Astrophysics) Lynn Hillenbrand, Caltech (Astrophysics) Everette Joseph, Howard (Earth Science) Jim Kasting, Penn State (Earth Science) Adam Showman, Arizona (Planetary Science) Hal Levison, SwRI (Planetary Science) Maggie Tolbert, Colorado (Earth Science) Prased Gogineni, Kansas (Earth Science)

R&A: ROSES-08 ROSES 2008 –Released on February pages 66 program elements >$150M for new awards (incomplete tally) –Some first time program elements: Ocean Salinity Science Team Hurricane Science Research Earth Science Applications Feasibility Studies Moon and Mars Analog Mission Activities Space Policy Research

R&A: ROSES 2008 NEW: –budget data now shown to reviewers – new program offerings –four year awards for most programs Under consideration for amendments: -fellowship programs -large grant opportunities (i.e., institutes) -easier outreach mechanisms for scientists

R&A: Documenting Practices –Document SMD's best and acceptable practices for R&A reviews; –Provide additional guidance to program officers; –Offer additional transparency into SMD process to community; and –Provide assurance (to SMD managers, to the community, to auditors) that SMD program officers are following SMD policies and practices.
