Consultant’s Report To: Dr. Brent Bowen  From: Dr. Henry R. Lehrer CC: Michaela Schaaf Date: April 3, 2006 Re: Phase 1 of Spring 2006 Project for Nebraska Space Grant (NESG) and EPSCoR The activities listed below are those that occurred as part of Phase 1 of the 2006 Project that I was engaged for by Dr. Brent Bowen in early February 2006. Among these activities are project-related travel with dates, evaluation of reports/proposals, and preparation of training sessions that will occur during the following parts of this consultation. The travel-related activities are in chronological order, but other duties are not due the varied time frames during which each occurred; some are on-going and will not be concluded until later phases of this project. All travel will be billed to NESG and EPSCoR under separate cover. If more extensive details or any clarifications are needed, they are available. Travel to Washington, DC from Rossford, OH: February 7 - 9, 2006 This trip to Washington, DC was to accompany Dr. Bowen to various government-related activities as well as to represent the NESG and EPSCoR at other events and meetings. During this visit, consultation services were for activities with the Space Grant Alliance, NASA, the Aerospace States Association, and the National Science Foundation. Detailed notes for each meeting are available on request. In addition, an informal breakfast meeting with the entire Nebraska Congressional delegation occurred. Travel to Greenbelt, Maryland from Rossford, OH for NASA GSFC Academy Selection Meeting: March 8 and 9, 2006 The final selection of members for the NASA GSFC Academy takes place every year at that center in early March. The NESG has been represented at this event for the last 5 years. This all-day event is the culmination of a rigorous process that will result in the applicant pool being narrowed from over 120 to approximately 30. Through a series of rounds, attendees offer opinions as to why a specific applicant’s credentials are the best fit of the Academy. Evaluation of NASA EPSCoR 10-year Renewal Proposal; February 2006 The external review of this proposal was to determine the accuracy of any statements, particularly as related to NESG Native American Outreach past and proposed. A complete review of the lengthy proposal was required and corrections in format and continuity were marked as well. The corrected proposal was return NESG for review and final submission.    Evaluation of NASA GSFC Academy Proposals: Early March 2006 Prior to the attendance at the NASA GFSC Academy Selection Committee meeting, it is necessary for evaluators to review numerous packets for the applicants. In the past, these were hard-copy resume books but now the technology is such that all forms and applications, letters of recommendation, and other forms can be reviewed on-line. Each evaluator ranks the applications and then submits a numerical score. Review such detailed material is quite tedious and must occur over several days   Preparation and Planning for Geospatial Boot Camp at Little Priest Tribal College (LPTC) on May 6, 2006 For the past 6 weeks, the teaching team consisting of this consultant, Karisa Vlasek of NESG, and Jan Bingen of LPTC has been planning this year’s Geospatial Boot Camp that be held in early May. This year’s event will follow the format for the very successful even which occurred in April of 2004. Approximately 20 to 30 teacher and school administrators will be attending this one day event on geospatial teaching techniques. There will be specific instructional units in GPS, GIS, and Remote Sensing plus many hands-on activities. A complete list of the activities as well as the planning that has taken place so far is include on the next several pages.   Planning for Attendance at the NASA Academy Strategic Planning Workshop March 29-31, 2006  It was anticipated that the NESG would participate in this strategic planning meeting the suburban Washington, DC area. In preparation, numerous communications with NASA officials about this meeting occurred and various travel and attendance options were investigated. The three-day event with a retreat format would have look at the future of eh NASA Academy program. The NESG has been engaged in Academy selection for GSFC for several years and it was expected that this expertise would have been a major contribution to the workshop. Unfortunately, it was decided that NESG would not be represented and the travel and participation was cancelled.
