SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    NASA's portfolio of higher education projects aims to educate 
students, support the research and professional development of faculty 
and administrators, and enhance research and education capacity at 
institutions of higher education with the ultimate goal of 
strengthening the Nation's aerospace and aerospace-related science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce. NASA intends 
to conduct a multi-staged evaluation of their cumulative investments in 
these higher education projects. Phase one of this evaluation will 
collect data on the degree completion and career placement of 
individuals who previously participated in a NASA project as an 
undergraduate or graduate student. Data from this collection will be 
used by NASA to respond to OMB and congressional inquiries, document 
the education and employment outcomes of NASA's higher education 
investments, and inform decisions about future project modifications 
and funding priorities.

II. Method of Collection

    Data will be collected by means of a Web-based survey of former 
students who participated in or applied to NASA's higher education 
projects and telephone interviews of a sample of these students.
