Project Accomplishments. The full scope of the project has yet to be accomplished; however, the following accomplishments have been achieved to date:
Project Accomplishments. NASA’s Office of Education, in cooperation with NASA’s Offices of Communications, Chief Technologist and Mission Directorates (i.e., Aeronautics Research, Human Exploration and Operations, and Science), solicited proposals for uniquely NASA education or research engagement projects, exhibits and/or partnerships with K-12 schools to support inquiry- or experiential-based activities led by informal education institutions that feature NASA missions, science, engineering, explorations, or technologies. The 2013 CP4SMPVC+ NASA Research Announcement was released on 9 January 2013 and proposals were due 9 April 2013. Total number of proposals received: 74. Categories of proposals under review: 6 unsolicited proposals, 1 neither competitive nor unsolicited proposal, and 67 external review eligible proposals. The sixty-seven (67) competition-eligible proposals came from 31 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. These 67 proposals requested amounts ranging in value from about $190,000 to over $1,265,000. Submitting organizations included museums, planetariums, NASA Visitor Centers, Challenger Centers, aquariums, and other institutions of informal education. These 67 proposals were reviewed through a merit-review process, which included consulting with experts external to NASA. Representatives from NASA’s Office of Education, Office of Communications, and Mission Directorates served as internal reviewers. All awards have a maximum five-year period of performance. NASA could elect to make a full or partial selection of a proposal. Ten projects, including four NASA Visitor Centers, were selected to receive FY13 funds. Short abstracts for the 10 FY 2013 and prior years’ selections are available at: xxxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxxx.xxx/museum/CP4SMP/Program under the heading Summary of FY2008- 2013 Awardees. In FY 2013, the following projects were completed: one project from the FY2008 cohort (American Museum of Natural History); two projects from the FY 2009 cohort (Museum of Science and Industry-Tampa and Oregon Museum of Science and Industry); one project from the FY 2010 cohort (The Childrens’ Museum of Indianapolis), and three projects from the FY12 cohort (Xxxxxxx Space Flight Center Visitor Center, Museum of Aviation, and Stennis Space Center). Periods of performance ranged from one to five years. Highlights from the results of these grants are listed in the Project Partners section below. In January 2013, representatives from the 2012 cohort of awardees, as ...
Project Accomplishments. The full scope of the project has yet to be accomplished; however, the following accomplishments have been achieved to date: Goal 1 (develop/implement education events): In FY 2010 the visitor center funds were used to support the development and implementation of a variety of educational events and opportunities that were held within the Exploration Center and/or the surrounding community. Audiences included K-12 classes and students, home-school organizations, after school groups, college students, formal and informal educators, and the general public. The goal of the events was to increase STEM awareness and literacy using a variety of mechanisms including exhibits, lectures, hands-on activities, demonstrations and shows. Over 23,850 people participated in over 30 events, some of which are highlighted and/or summarized below. Events that also contribute to Goal 3 (create opportunities to feature NASA historical and current events) have also been noted.
Project Accomplishments. Measurement of the Project’s successes or failures upon completion. Evaluation will focus on whether the community, partners and the Foundation’s goals were satisfied and what tools and methods were effective.

Project Accomplishments. Since the project’s inception in March 2012, World Learning fostered partnerships with workplace management bodies as well as government stakeholders, working collaboratively to ensure the success of MULU Worksite and the greater national HIV multi-sectoral response. Worksite management, HAPCO, and MoLSA were partners that ensured the project’s continued success as World Learning continually sought to find opportunities to expand the project’s reach and impact. The strategic shift to focus on high-risk workforces in the regions of Xxxxxx and Metema was critical to the project’s ability to target high yield populations while also offering needed BCC and HTC services while building the capacity of worksites throughout the country. As a result of MULU Worksite, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx participated in peer education, was tested for HIV, found positive, and began ART. She has been able to continue working while raising an HIV-free child Without data from an end-line evaluation, measuring the project’s full impact remains incomplete. The end-line evaluation is meant to be conducted by a third-party organization utilizing separate funds than those provided MULU Worksite, however it was completed by the end of the project. The following data represents MULU Worksite’s Life of Project achievements, summarizing data found in our succession of quarterly and annual reports. Considerable progress was made throughout the project, illustrating the effectiveness of an integrated behavioral, bio-medical, and structural intervention. Find some of MULU Worksite’s primary accomplishments listed below: • Reached a total of 886,627 (803,627 Male and 83,353 Female) individuals through peer led small group discussion using a standard curriculum. • Reached a total of 10,309 Female sex workers in selected hotspot towns around Xxxxxx and Metema development corridors through peer led small group discussion using a standard curriculum • Tested 387,669 individuals (272,845 Males and 114,824 Females) for HIV, through worksite clinics and targeted outreach services or modalities. All of them received their test results. Of those tested 4,697 (1.21%) were found to be first time HIV positives with 0.87% (2,385) Male and 2.01% (2,312) Female positivity rate, respectively. • Mobilized 424,428 (313, 871 Male And 110,557 Female) workers through large group edutainment with key HIV prevention messages as part of the behavioral interventions; • Distributed 11,734,650 male condoms • Distributed 903,345 IEC...
