NASA Universal Registration and Data
Management System is a comprehensive tool designed to allow
learners (i.e., students, educators, and) to apply to NASA STEM
engagement opportunities (e.g., internships, fellowships,
challenges, educator professional development, experiential
learning activities, etc.) in a single location. NASA personnel
manage the selection of applicants and implementation of engagement
opportunities within the Universal Registration and Data Management
System. The information collected will be used by the NASA Office
of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) in order to review applications for
participation in NASA engagement opportunities. The information is

mentors who would be hosting students. This information collection
will consist of student-level data such as demographic information
submitted as part of the profile registration and application
process.
