Download as PDF 83974 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 230 / Friday, December 1, 2023 / Notices I. Abstract Based on user feedback provided during the initial release of the NASA STEM Gateway (Universal Registration and Data Management System), NASA plans to develop updates/enhancements to improve information collected and the overall user experience in the NASA STEM Gateway. The NASA STEM Gateway (Universal Registration and Data Management System) is a comprehensive tool designed to allow learners (i.e., students, educators, and awardee principal investigators) 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 NASA STEM Gateway. Additionally, NASA can also deploy evaluation surveys through the NASA STEM Gateway (Universal Registration and Data Management System) to collect short- and intermediate-outcome data by surveying learners (i.e., students and educators) and awardees in NASA STEM engagement activities. Results from evaluation surveys 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 to evaluate the outcomes of NASA’s STEM Engagement programs and activities. 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 Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018.
