I. Abstract

    The collection of information supports the selection process of 
individuals to participate in the NASA Datanaut program. NASA's corps

communities with diverse skill sets who use data in innovative ways. 
This corps of creative thinkers are interested in engaging with NASA 
and pioneering the future of exploration-focused data science. 
Datanauts are citizens personally and/or professionally invested in the 
use and applications of NASA data. Members have unique early 
opportunities to test datasets and tools, uncover new use cases for 
NASA data, and have their visualization, application or storytelling 
work featured by NASA.
    This information will be used by the NASA Datanaut administrative 
personnel, during the application selection process, to gain insight 
into the applicant's interest and skill level in data analysis and 
visualization. Information collected will be limited to full name, 
city, state and country of origin, email, biography, background
