Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 16 Jan 2003 19:22 PST

I want to bring to your attention a page that might be of enormous
interest to you, given your focus on air and space related education
programs.

NASA has a detailed 19-page financial summary of all its educational
programs at:

http://ifmp.nasa.gov/codeb/budget2003/18-Education_Programs.pdf

which includes the following:

--of their total FY02 budget of $142.6 million for educational and
academic programs, $118.1 million went to the Goddard Space Flight
Center; the second largest recipient got a paltry $5 million in
comparison.

--3,654,916 people were involved in NASA educational activities (these
are not broken out by individual centers, but clearly Goddard gets the
lion's share, given their budget); they are involved in 7,094
alliances with other institions.

The report gives breakdowns of, e.g., teachers vs students, K-12
schools, etc.

They spent $20.0 million on student support programs.


There's lots more.  I'm not posting this as an answer, since it is not
specific to Goddard, and it doesn't address all your questions. 
However, if you're interested in having me prepare a more
comprehensive summary of the report, let me know, and I'll post it as
an answer.

Thank you.  Yes, I would like the detailed information you referred
to.  Specifically, I would like to know about funds earmarked for the
different education programs administered by Goddard Space Fligth
Center, where the money goes, who gets it, what funds are allocated 
to which programs, which programs have multiyear funding, what schools
are served with which programs, number of students in each of the
programs both those given on site at Greenbelt location and those off
site, salaries of people involved in these programs.
