About this award
Arizona State University (ASU) was awarded a $5.43 million cooperative agreement by NASA on April 27, 2022, to implement the "Engaging Hispanic Communities in Authentic NASA Science" initiative. The project, which extends through April 26, 2027, aims to address the significant underrepresentation of Hispanic individuals in STEM fields by creating and disseminating culturally relevant bilingual Spanish-English educational materials based on NASA assets. Despite comprising 18.5% of the U.S. population, Hispanics represent only 7% of STEM workers and as few as 1% in certain disciplines such as astronomy. The project will leverage existing networks across NASA's Science Activation program and national partnerships to build organizational capacity and broaden participation in NASA's Science Mission Directorate initiatives.
The cooperative agreement, which carries no set-aside designation, is structured as a child contract under ASU's parent entity and will be performed in Tempe, Arizona. Key deliverables include disseminating existing high-quality Spanish-language resources through networks reaching all 50 states and U.S. territories, co-developing media-rich and hands-on learning materials with Hispanic families and subject matter experts, and providing professional development to NASA Science Activation teams. The project leadership includes experts in informal STEM education and Hispanic community engagement who have demonstrated success on previous national initiatives, positioning ASU to create a sustainable foundation for lifelong learning and potential STEM career pathways among Hispanic families in community settings.
