SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The NASA 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 evaluation surveys through the Universal Registration and Data Management System to collect short- and intermediate-outcome data by surveying learners ( i.e., students and educators) 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 also 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.
