SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This collection of information supports NASA's International Space 
Apps Challenge, an international hackathon for coders, scientists, 
designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, and others, 
where teams can engage with NASA's free and open data to address 
challenges we face on Earth and in space. This collection will consist 
of two applications, one for Navigators and one for Collaborators.
    Navigators are Space Apps community members who have demonstrated 
excellence in the program or excellence in relevant fields including, 
but not limited to: science, data, technology, and space. By 
recognizing these exemplary community members as Navigators, the 
hackathon connects the tens of thousands of Space Apps participants 
with community expertise that can enhance participant problem solving. 
To be eligible to be a Navigator, applicants must have participated in 
Space Apps in some way (e.g., participant or Local Lead) at least 5 
times, or demonstrated equivalent relevant experience in another NASA 
program.
    Each year organizations around the world come forth to engage with 
NASA's International Space Apps Challenge. We collaborate with a 
selection of these organizations, called Space Apps Collaborators, to:
     Increase awareness of NASA's International Space Apps 
Challenge.
     Attract a diversity of participants to NASA's 
International Space Apps Challenge.
     Provide participants with optional tools and resources 
that enable the creation of solutions in NASA's International Space 
Apps Challenge.
    This information will be used by the Space Apps Global Organizing 
Team during the Navigator and Collaborator selection process (approx. 3 
months), to gain insight into the applicants' background, experience, 
and interest in the program. Additionally, this information will be 
used by NASA's Office of General Counsel (OGC) and NASA's Office of 
International and Interagency Relations (OIIR) in their review of 
applicants.
