STEM Connection: World Environment Day | | Celebrated on Wednesday, June 5, World Environment Day encourages awareness and action for the protection of the environment. Make a STEM connection to our home planet with the resources below. | | NASA’s Climate Kids brings climate science to life with games, interactive features, and exciting articles. | | Explore key concepts about Earth science, missions, and climate with "NASA's Earth Minute" videos. | | Audience: Faculty at non-R1 higher education institutions Information Session: Proposal Deadline: Aug. 15 NASA’s Science Mission Directorate is seeking proposals for two-year research awards of up to $300,000 to faculty/researchers at institutions of higher education classified as non-R1s. Proposers must NOT have received federal funding prior to award. The program encourages proposers from Minority-Serving Institutions, primarily undergraduate institutions, and community colleges to apply. The project requires funding for undergraduate students and requires relevance in one of the Science Mission Directorate’s research goals.
