OUTCOME 2 - EDUCATE AND ENGAGE: ATTRACT AND RETAIN STUDENTS IN STEM DISCIPLINES THROUGH A PROGRESSION OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESFOR STUDENTS TEACHERS AND FACULTY. OUTCOME 3 - ENGAGE AND INSPIRE: BUILD STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS AND LINKAGES BETWEEN STEM FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION PROVIDERSTHAT PROMOTE STEM LITERACY AND AWARENESS OF NASA'S MISSION.THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS THE CONSORTIUM FACILITATES AND ENCOURAGES COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS AMONG UNIVERSITIES AEROSPACE INDUSTRY GOVERNMENT AND NON-PROFIT AGENCIES TO SUPPORT THE NASA MISSION. CONSORTIUM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES TO ACHIEVE THIS MISSION ARE DESCRIBED IN THE PROPOSAL. THESE GOALS ARE CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE CONSORTIUM'S PROGRAM CATEGORIES OF NASA INTERNSHIPS FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS HIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE PRECOLLEGE AND INFORMAL EDUCATION. THROUGHOUT ALL ITSPROGRAMS THE CONSORTIUM EMPHASIZES TRAINING PROFESSIONALS ESPECIALLY WOMEN AND UNDERREPRESENTED FOR CAREERS IN MATHEMATICS SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY IN AREAS OF IMPORTANCE TO NASA AND THE STATE OF IOWA. EACH PROGRAM CATEGORY IS DESCRIBED IN THE PROPOSAL NARRATIVE. ALIGNMENT BETWEEN CURRENT PROGRAM AREAS OF EMPHASIS IDENTIFLED BY NASA AND THE IOWA PROPOSAL FOR 2015-18 INCLUDE SUPPORT OFEXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ESPECIALLY WITH FACULTY RESEARCH MENTORS AND DELIVERY OF NASA CONTENT AND STEM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE ISGC PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO FOSTER DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG CADRE OF RESEARCHERS ALIGNED WITH NASA NEEDS AND PRIORITIES WHO CAN SUSTAIN THEIR RESEARCH EFFORTS THROUGH COMPETITIVE FUNDING FROM NON-SPACE GRANT SOURCES AND WHO ALSO SERVE AS RESEARCH TRAINING MENTORS TO STEM STUDENTS. HENCE THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS AS WELL AS THE SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS ALL SUPPORT THIS THEME. A PROJECT IS SUPPORTED TO PROMOTE STABUITY SUCH THAT ONCE "GRADUATED" FROM ISGC SUPPORT WORK CONTINUES TO ADVANCE; THUS CREATING RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE THAT AFFORDS OPPORTUNITIES TO CONDUCT RESEARCH OF TECHNICAL IMPORTANCE TO NASA AND THAT CONTINUE TO SERVE AS TRAINING LABORATORIES FOR FUTURE STUDENTS IN STEM DISCIPLINES OF IMPORTANCE TO NASA. THE PROCESS IS RENEWED AS NEW PROJECTS ARE COMPETITIVELY SELECTED.
