Abstract: This is revision for an information collection for the Office of STEM Engagement. As part of NASA’s continued response and mitigation to COVID-19, awardees in informal discussions are reporting a decrease in number of student participants for internships and fellowships, delay or cancelation of conferences and travel, and delay in the scientific work funded on behalf of NASA due to closure of schools, camps, colleges and universities. NASA is requesting this collection to do a census of all grantees to gather information consistent with both OMB and NASA COVID guidance as well as track COVID-related spending agency-wide. This information will be collected through a series of oral telephone interviews and recorded by scribes.
