THE OHIO AEROSPACE INSTITUTE (OAI) SERVES AS THE LEAD INSTITUTION. OAI IS A 5DL(C)(3)NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, AND HOSTS THE OSGC MAIN OFFLCES ARE LOCATED. OTHER PARTNERS INCLUDE NASA CENTERS [OSGC HAS A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH GLENN RESEARCH CENTER (GRC) AND WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OFFLCE (EPO) AND UNIVERSITY AFFAIRS OFFICER)], THE AIR FORCE RESEARCH LABORATORIES (AFRL), GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, INDUSTRY, SCIENCE CENTERS, PLANETARIUMS, AND OTHER INFORMAL EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS THROUGHOUT OHIO. ALL AFFLLIATES ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO TRAIN AND DEVELOP A DIVERSE AND HIGHLY SKILLED SCIENTIFIC, ENGINEERING, AND TECHNICAL FUTURE WORKFORCE. THE VISION OF THE OSGC IS TO ENHANCE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL OHIOANS TO PARTICIPATE IN NASA SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM)-RELATED RESEARCH, EDUCATION, WORKFORCE, AND PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAMS TO BUILD AND SUSTAIN A DIVERSE, WELLPREPARED TECHNICAL WORKFORCE FOR NASA AND THE NATION, AND TO LEAD IN THE PROMOTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AERONAUTICS, SPACE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, AND EARTH SCIENCE. THE MISSION OF THE OSGC IS TO ADVANCE THE NATION'S CAPABILITY IN STEM, LEADING TO THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF A DIVERSE WORKFORCE THROUGH NASA-RELATED COLLABORATIONS WITHIN OHIO'S NETWORK OF SCIENTISTS, RESEARCHERS, ENGINEERS, AND EDUCATORS AT OHIO UNIVERSITIES, THE OHIO AEROSPACE INSTITUTE (OAI), NASA CENTERS, THE AIR FORCE RESEARCH LABORATORY (AFRL), AND INDUSTRY THAT ALIGN WITH THE NATIONAL SPACE GRANT PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS ACTIVITY IS TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN STUDENTS IN STEM DISCIPLINES MTH EMPHASIS ON INCREASING PARTICIPATION BY WOMEN, UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES, AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. OSGC'S GOALS ARE ALIGNED DIRECTLY WITH NASA EDUCATION GOALS AND PRIORITIES. OSGC GOAL 1 IS TO DEVELOP A DIVERSE STEM WORKFORCE IN OHIO AND THE NATION. GOAL 2 IS TO ENGAGE STUDENTS AND FACULTY IN HANDS-ON STEM RESEARCH ACTIVITIES. GOAL 3 IS TO SUPPORT STEM COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH FOR OHIO FACULTY AND STUDENTS. GOAL 4 TO INCREASE STEM AWARENESS FOR OHIO K-12 TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. GOAL 5 IS TO ENCOURAGE INFORMAL EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES PROMOTING STEM.
