SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    Based on user feedback provided during the initial release of the 
NASA STEM Gateway (Universal Registration and Data Management System), 
NASA plans to develop updates/enhancements to improve information 
collected and the overall user experience in the NASA STEM Gateway. The 
NASA STEM Gateway (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 
NASA STEM Gateway. The information collected will be used by the NASA 
Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) and other NASA offices to review 
applications for participation in NASA STEM 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).

II. Methods of Collection:

    Online/Web-based.
