OSTEM COVID-19 IMPACTS – INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 

Spring 2020 Internship Program 

• Transitioned 347 interns to virtual internships (out of 366). 

• Hosting an ISS downlink event exclusively for NASA interns on April 28. 

• Concluding spring program on May 8. Students can extend 6-8 weeks. 

Summer 2020 Internship Program 

• Finalized decision to move to virtual program 4/17. 

• Issued survey to 1500 NASA mentors 3/26 regarding feasibility. Over

600 internship projects transitioned to virtual to date. 

• Our team is working extensively on logistics for onboarding/offboarding

interns, thanks to excellent coordination with OCHCO, OCIO and OPS. 

• Developing implementation plans, with Center STEM Engagement

Directors working closely with their leadership on center-unique needs. 

• Developing budget/cost impacts associated with onboarding and 

offboarding. 
 

 

 

 

OSTEM COVID-19 IMPACTS – FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM 

OSTEM Fellowship Program 

• Delayed schedule for 2020 cohort selection process, with anticipated on-time selection. 

• Made decision to NOT hold on-site Center Based Research Experiences (CBREs) in Summer 2020. 

• Queried NASA Technical Advisers and Principal Investigators. 75% of NASA Technical Advisers indicated 

willingness to accommodate a virtual summer CBRE 

• Coordinating virtual onboarding. 

• Budget/cost impacts are being developed. 

OSTEM International Fellowship Program 

• Due to COVID-19 concerns and mandatory shelter-in-place orders, 11 students (10 at ARC & 1 at GSFC) returned home 4-6 weeks early. 

• 35 international students selected for NASA projects for Summer 2020 will not be able to participate due 

to State Department halts on student visas and NASA security concerns regarding foreign nationals for 

virtual internships. 

• Assessing budget impacts due to lack of reimbursable funding provided from international entities.

OSTEM COVID-19 IMPACTS – OTHER PROGRAM IMPACTS AT A GLANCE 

Created new initiatives and activities to meet student needs and to fill gaps created 

by cancellation/postponement of planned activities. 

• NASA STEM @ Home, created in March, provides 

students and families hands-on educational activities that 

can be done with items found around the house. 

– K-4 activities range from a Moon habitat and edible 

spacecraft, to science-themed puzzles, to rockets 

– Grades 5-8 and 9-12 include more self-directed learning

OSTEM COVID-19 IMPACTS – OSTEM PROGRAM RISK ASSESSMENT 

• Initiated overall risk analysis and assessment (March 22) 

‒ Issued survey of all OSTEM Principal Investigators (PIs) to begin 

identification of potential COVID-19 impacts 

‒ 133 responses provided early

indicators regarding impacts by institutions 

• Our project managers continue to 

work in close coordination with 

their PIs and institutions. 

• Drafting subsequent guidance to 

PIs (for late April - early May) to 

identify specific programmatic 

and budget/cost impacts with 

longer-term horizon.

MISSION DIRECTORATE MATCHING 

OSTEM, in a cost-matching partnership with HEOMD, 

STMD, SMD and NASA’s Chief Economist will award 

almost $2.4 million to six National Space Grant 

and Fellowship Program Lead Institutions to advance the 

reach of current and future Artemis student challenges. 

The solicitation was formulated to enable interested 

undergraduate students, spanning the entire nation to 

be inspired and prepared to participate in Artemis. 

These awards will directly contribute to NASA’s mission, 

the Office of STEM Engagement’s priorities, and 

specifically, Artemis.
