I. Abstract
The NASA STEM Gateway (NASA’s
universal registration and data
management system) is a
comprehensive tool designed to allow
learners (i.e., students and educators) to
apply to NASA STEM engagement
opportunities (e.g., internships,
fellowships, challenges, educator
professional development, experiential
learning activities, etc.) in a single
location. NASA personnel manage the
selection of applicants and
implementation of engagement
opportunities within the Universal
Registration and Data Management
System. Additionally, NASA can deploy
an evaluation survey to collect shortand intermediate-outcome data by
surveying learners (i.e., students) in the
NASA Internship Program. Results from
evaluation survey information collected
will be used by the NASA Office of
STEM Engagement (OSTEM) to
establish better defined goals, outcomes,
and standards for measuring progress
and also to evaluate the outcomes of
NASA’s Internship Program. This
process of improvement will enhance
NASA’s strategic planning, performance
planning, and performance reporting
efforts as required by the GPRA
Modernization Act of 2010 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This collection of information
supports NASA’s term and condition
regarding sexual harassment, other
forms of harassment, and sexual assault.
This term and condition requires
recipient organizations to report to
NASA any findings/determinations of
sexual harassment, other forms of
harassment, or sexual assault regarding
a NASA funded Principle Investigator
(PI) or Co-Investigator (Co-I). The new
term and condition will also require the
recipient to report to NASA if the PI or
Co-I is placed on administrative leave or
if the recipient has imposed any
administrative action on the PI or Co-I,
or any determination or an investigation
of an alleged violation of the recipient’s
policies or codes of conduct, statutes,
regulations, or executive orders relating
to sexual harassment, other forms of
harassment, or sexual assault.
In reviewing harassment notifications
pursuant to the term and condition, it
will be necessary for the Agency to have
complete information provided in a
consistent manner. The information
provided will be used by the Agency to
assess the matters reported and to
consult with the Authorized
Organizational Representative (AOR), or
designee of the reporting institution.
Based on the results of this review and
consultation, NASA may, if necessary,
assert its programmatic stewardship
responsibilities and oversight authority
to initiate the substitution or removal of
the PI or any co-PI, reduce the award
funding amount, or where neither of

Abstract:
Proposed Project
The Engineering Research Centers
(ERC) program supports an integrated,
interdisciplinary research environment
to advance fundamental engineering
knowledge and engineered systems;
educate a globally competitive and
diverse engineering workforce from K–
12 on; and join academe and industry in
partnership to achieve these goals. ERCs
conduct world-class research through
partnerships of academic institutions,
national laboratories, industrial
organizations, and/or other public/
private entities. New knowledge thus
created is meaningfully linked to
society.

ERCs conduct world-class research
with an engineered systems perspective
that integrates materials, devices,
processes, components, control
algorithms and/or other enabling
elements to perform a well-defined
function. These systems provide a
unique academic research and
education experience that involves
integrative complexity and
technological realization. The
complexity of the systems perspective
includes the factors associated with its
use in industry, society/environment, or
the human body.
ERCs enable and foster excellent
education, integrate research and
education, speed knowledge/technology
transfer through partnerships between
academe and industry, and prepare a
more competitive future workforce.
ERCs capitalize on diversity through
participation in center activities and
demonstrate leadership in the
involvement of groups
underrepresented in science and
engineering.
Centers are required to submit annual
reports on progress and plans, which
will be used as a basis for performance
review and determining the level of
continued funding. To support this
review and the management of a Center,
ERCs also are required to submit
management and performance
indicators annually to NSF via a data
collection website that is managed by a
technical assistance contractor. These
indicators are both quantitative and
descriptive and may include, for
example, the characteristics of center
personnel and students; sources of cash
and in-kind support; expenditures by
operational component; characteristics
of industrial and/or other sector
participation; research activities;
education activities; knowledge transfer
activities; patents, licenses;
publications; degrees granted to
students involved in Center activities;
descriptions of significant advances and
other outcomes of the ERC effort. Such
reporting requirements will be included
in the cooperative agreement which is
binding between the academic
institution and the NSF.
Each Center’s annual report will
address the following categories of
activities: (1) Vision and impact, (2)
strategic plan, (3) research program, (4)
innovation ecosystem and industrial
collaboration, (5) education, (6)
infrastructure (leadership, management,
facilities, diversity) and (7) budget
issues.
For each of the categories the report
will describe overall objectives for the
year, progress toward center goals,
problems the Center has encountered in
