SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NASA STEM Gateway (NASA's 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 NASA STEM 
Gateway. In addition to supporting student selection, student-level 
data will enable NASA Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) to fulfill 
federally mandated performance and evaluation reporting on its STEM 
engagement activities and report relevant demographic information as 
needed for Agency performance goals and success criteria (annual 
performance indicators). Information collected will be used by the NASA 
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.
