NASA Langley Research Center: Electronic Professional Development Network Grant

The overall goal of the proposed cooperative agreement is to develop an
infrastructure and deploy research-based technology applications,
products, and services that enhance educator professional development
through the use of online technologies. The recipient will be required
to partner with NASA to design, prepare, produce, deliver, and evaluate
online professional development events, workshops, and courses leading
to educators’ effective use of NASA educational materials in learning
environments.

NASA ePDN objectives are 1) Produce and deliver ePD experiences. 2)
Maintain a learning management system in support of the cooperative
agreement. 3) Collaborate with other NASA education projects in meeting
their ePD objectives. 4) Partner with external ePD organizations.
Because its purpose is a program of professional development for
educators to accomplish the educators’ and NePD objectives,
participation in this program is restricted to educational institutions
or other educational nonprofit organizations. Proposals from outside
the United States will not be considered and all NASA education and
training grant funds, as required by 14 C.F.R. Sections 1260.12 (c) (2)
and 1260.12 (c) (3), support students and faculty that are U.S.
citizens. An organization’s relevant current and past performance will
be one of the evaluation criteria for selection (all evaluation factors
will be defined in the CAN).

As defined in the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook
recipients of NASA cooperative agreements may not be paid a profit.
