July 14, 2010 National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) NASA’s
Glenn Research Center is releasing a Cooperative Agreement Notice to invite
proposals to administer the Motivating Undergraduates in Science and
Technology project. The MUST project is a competitive scholarship
opportunity for undergraduate students specifically targeting rising
sophomores and juniors from underrepresented and underserved groups. The
focus is on students majoring in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics disciplines. Upon its release date, the CAN will be available
electronically through http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ NASA's
ROSES 2010 solicitation is being amended to include: Moon and Mars Analog
Missions Activities. NASA Analog Missions research addresses the need for
integrated interdisciplinary field experiments as an integral part of
preparation for planned human and robotic missions to the Moon and Mars. The
focus of this program will be on providing high-fidelity scientific
investigations, scientific input, and science operations constraints in the
context of planetary field campaigns. Funding provided in this program
element is intended to enable researchers to conduct scientific
investigations and integrate their instruments, projects, and/or protocols
into field activities designed to help NASA plan for future exploration of the
Moon, Mars, and other planetary bodies with both robots and humans. Visit http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?method=init&solId={5447C4A6-E588-0BB5-F61E-1A63B3DBE459}&path=open NASA's
ROSES 2010 solicitation is being amended to include: Mars Data Analysis.
The sponsor will provide funding to enhance the scientific return from
missions to Mars conducted by NASA and other space agencies. These include,
but are not limited to, the following missions: Mars Pathfinder (MPF), Mars
Global Surveyor (MGS), Mars Odyssey (MO), Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs),
Mars Express (MEX), Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), and Phoenix (PHX).
MDAP broadens scientific participation in the analysis of mission data sets
and funds high-priority areas of research that support planning for future
Mars missions. MDAP supports scientific investigations of Mars using publicly
available (released) data. Where justified to support planning for future
Mars missions, investigations that use data derived from other sources (e.g.,
ground-based radar, Hubble) will also be considered. Visit http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?method=init&solId={7CA89BBB-81FC-5D31-57BB-501102BD4614}&path=open NASA

has released an interactive online tool that enables students to simultaneously
visualize and manipulate three linked representations of a distance-rate-time
problem. The side-by-side tool format features two airplanes (each flying
at a constant speed) on merging jet routes, the corresponding
distance-vs.-time graphs, and the corresponding linear equations. Students
can manipulate an airplane’s speed and starting position on its route, rotate
or shift the associated line on the graph, and change the parameters of the
associated equation. As students change one representation, the other
representations update accordingly. The free classroom materials include the
tool, student workbooks, assessments, teacher guides, and alignments to
grades 5-9 mathematics standards for all 50 states. The new tool is an
addition to FlyBy Math from NASA Smart Skies -- distance-rate-time
investigations that engage students in the challenges faced by air traffic
