Environment (GLOBE)

    Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment 
(GLOBE): Announcement of Opportunity for Science/Education Teams. POC 
Contact Technical Representative: Barrett Rock, 202-395-7600. The 
Government is interested in receiving proposals that address the 
development of services and materials to support scientific 
measurements, environmental education, teacher training, and program 
evaluation as part of the GLOBE Program. The GLOBE Program is an 
international education and science program that will involve students 
all over the Earth in measuring their local environment and creating a 
global set of data to be shared via the Internet that will be used to 
create global environmental images for the students and by 
environmental scientists. GLOBE is driven in part by the measurement 
needs of scientists and will be structured to teach students about the 
Earth's environment, thereby generating increased interest in science 
and awareness of the changing global environment. A public briefing 
will be held from 10:00 to 12:00 on November 3, 1994, in the Auditorium 
of the Department of Commerce, which is entered on 14th St. between 
Constitution Ave. and E St. in Washington, DC. Organizations planning 
to attend should provide a list of attendees, limit two per 
organization, to John Schmidt, 202-395-7600, FAX 202-395-7611. The 
Program Announcement, which contains a detailed description of the 
competition, will be released on or about October 28, 1994; deadline 
for receipt of proposals is December 15, 1994. Any award is subject to 
availability of funds. Proposals will be evaluated by a peer review 
panel, which will meet in January, 1995. Written requests for copies of 
the announcement should be directed to Dr. Barrett Rock. The GLOBE 
Program, 744 Jackson Place, NW., Washington, DC 20503. For information 
on how to obtain the Program Announcement electronically from the 
National Science Foundation, contact: [email protected] (Internet), 703-306-
