SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    NASA needs information pertaining to experiences of program 
beneficiaries in programs and activities receiving NASA financial 
assistance, such as student experiences in science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs, in order to more 
effectively conduct civil rights compliance reviews of programs 
receiving federal financial assistance from NASA. Such reviews are 
required by NASA regulations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and 
Section 619 of the NASA Authorization Act of 2005 (requiring NASA to 
conduct at least two Title IX reviews annually of NASA grant recipient 
institutions).

II. Method of Collection

    NASA will utilize several on-line survey tools that will allow 
students at institutions on which NASA is conducting Title IX 
compliance reviews to provide responses by e-mail.
