NASA SCoPE Supports Early Career Scientists with Proposal Writing Workshop

NASA SCoPE Supports Early Career Scientists with Proposal Writing Workshop


The NASA SMD Community of Practice for Education (SCoPE) hosted an informational webinar in March to support applicants for the inaugural NASA SCoPE Seed Grants. This min-grant program endeavors to reduce barriers for subject matter experts (SMEs) to engage in science communications with the public. To achieve this goal, early career scientists are asked to submit a collaborative proposal with a Science Activation project that requests funding support for their engagement. In preparation for these submissions, the SCoPE team provides training and templates that support SME career development.

Early career SMEs and those from historically marginalized communities have been specifically encouraged to apply and will be prioritized in selections. These grants are one way in which the NASA SCoPE project is increasing the breadth and depth of SME engagement with the NASA Science Activation Network. For more information, connect with us at scope.asu.edu.

A close-up of a spiral galaxy, seen face-on. Its center is a bright white point, surrounded by a large yellowish oval with thin lines of dust swirling in it. From the sides of the oval emerge two bright spiral arms which wind through the round disk of the galaxy, filled with shining pink spots where stars are forming and more dark reddish dust. Many stars are visible in the foreground, over and around the galaxy.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Reaches Top of Jezero Crater Rim

The road ahead will be even more scientifically intriguing, and probably somewhat easier-going, now that the six-wheeler has completed its long climb to the top. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has crested the top of Jezero Crater’s rim at a location the science team calls “Lookout Hill” and rolling toward its first science stop after the […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
