OBJECTIVES: Space Grant Fellows will develop a project that<br>
promotes the understanding of space-related research to the public.<br>
Examples are working with educators (from primary/secondary schools,<br>
science museums, parks/forests/reserves, 4-H and other Cooperative<br>
Extension agents, etc.) by:developing curricular and/or educational<br>
outreach materials designed to communicate science to a specific<br>
audience (all precollege-related program materials should align with<br>
Arizona and/or National Math, Science, Geography or Technology<br>
Standards); developing informational databases (with science
education<br>
goals) for sharing over the Internet; developing skills in science<br>
writing and journalism; developing a demonstration project and<br>
associated educational materials for an existing educational
program;<br>
or designing and carrying-out some other creative science outreach<br>
project. Successful applicants tend to establish a relationship
with<br>
an organization or institution (i.e. a school, museum, park/forest,
or<br>
an existing educational program) as they develop their outreach<br>
project proposal. It is essential that applicants identify an<br>
"educational outreach advisor" representing this organization
or<br>
program who will provide an initial letter of support that indicates<br>
their willingness to cooperate with the applicant's proposal and
help<br>
in evaluating the project during the fellowship period. <br><br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
<p>A candidate must be a graduate student at The University
of<br>
Arizona studying in a space science/engineering-related discipline<br>
(that is, helping address NASA's mission, which includes, for
example,<br>
Earth Sciences and Science Education) and be a citizen of the United<br>
States. In addition, applicants must meet UA Graduate College<br>
fellowship eligibility requirements to be considered for an award.<br>
</p><br><br>
FUNDING<br>
<p>Fellowship will include: $16,000 per year for one or
two<br>
years; both in- and out-of-state tuition and registration fee
waivers;<br>
travel funds to attend professional meetings (up to a total of
$1500);<br>
and student health insurance. (des)</p><br><br>
