An expense plan for the required extramural experience must be approved by the Consortium Program Office and the costs must not exceed the expenditure limits stated above. In a request for renewal, include in the budget plan the amount of any unused funds remaining from previous awards.

NASA Extramural Experience An extramural NASA experience is required sometime during the fellowship year. The details are to be worked out with the faculty advisor and NASA lab facility where the student plans to participate in a research activity. It is advisable that a NASA contact be found prior to submission of the fellowship proposal. In 400 words or less, please describe the extramural NASA experience that you plan to participate in. Names and locations of NASA field centers are: Ames Research Center - CA, Armstrong Flight Research Center - CA, Glenn Research Center - OH, Goddard Space Flight Center - MD, Jet Propulsion Laboratory - CA, Johnson Space Center - TX, Kennedy Space Center -- FL, Langley Research Center - VA, Marshall Space Flight Center - AL, and Stennis Space Center - MS.
STEM Education Outreach Fellows are expected to be involved in ASGC outreach activities. Proposed activities may take advantage of local opportunities and should involve the student's transmitting their knowledge and enthusiasm of science, math or technology to children or general audiences. These activities will differ from campus to campus and a specific assignment will be made after consultation with their ASGC campus director. In 400 words or less, please describe your proposed science education outreach activities.
Schedule of Target Dates Please realistically identify the starting and completion dates for the proposed research program or plan of study, including the expected date for completion of the formal degree program. Any time expected to be spent at a NASA facility, including the required extramural experience, should be taken into consideration in establishing the target dates.
