NASA Explorer Schools (NES) seeks an
emergency clearance to collect data from educators to determine
eligibility and selection of schools to participate in their
three-year project. To lessen the impact on educators who will
complete the project application, the application period must be
open during times when they are less likely to be needed in the
classroom (e.g., summer break) and can obtain any required school
board approvals. A NES grantee will host the online application at
http://www.nsta.org.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
