SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NASA 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 
Universal Registration and Data Management System. The information 
collected will be used by the NASA Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) in 
order to review applications for participation in NASA engagement 
opportunities. The information is reviewed by OSTEM project and 
activity managers, as well as NASA mentors who would be hosting 
students. This information collection will consist of student-level 
data such as demographic information submitted as part of the 
application. In addition to supporting student selection, student-level 
data will enable NASA OSTEM to fulfill federally mandated reporting on 
its STEM engagement activities and report relevant demographic 
information as needed for Agency performance goals and success criteria 
(annual performance indicators).
