Opportunity Information: Apply for NNH23ZHA001N
NASA's Space Grant (SG) Quesst Community Overflight STEM Engagement (QCOSE) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NNH23ZHA001N) is a discretionary education-focused cooperative agreement intended to fund planning and design work connected to the Quesst mission's upcoming community overflight campaign. Rather than paying for immediate outreach activities, this program is meant to help Space Grant consortia (either individually or through regional collaborations) coordinate with NASA's Quesst STEM team to thoughtfully prepare how students and educators in selected overflight communities will be supported and informed when the campaign occurs.
The central product applicants are expected to deliver is a STEM Engagement Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is essentially a roadmap describing how a consortium would structure future student and educator engagement tied to Quesst community overflights. The emphasis is on producing a practical, well-reasoned plan that NASA can use and integrate with plans produced by other awardees. NASA's intent is to synthesize these SIPs into a broader, comprehensive student engagement approach for the overflight communities.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its focus on preventing bias in acoustic perception testing associated with the Quesst mission. Quesst relates to aircraft noise and community response, so how communities are educated beforehand could unintentionally shape how students perceive and report what they hear. The opportunity therefore places equal importance on two goals: (1) developing strong strategic engagement plans and (2) building an evidence-based understanding of how to communicate accurate information about the mission without priming or influencing participants in ways that could distort perception and feedback. In other words, the planning process must be sensitive to the fact that outreach itself can affect measurements of perception, and the SIP should account for that risk.
Because of this bias-avoidance requirement, the award is explicitly limited to planning and design only. No direct student engagement is allowed during the period of performance. The work funded here is preparatory: coordinating with NASA, developing messaging approaches, defining educator supports, outlining engagement structures for later phases, and documenting how those activities can be conducted responsibly without compromising the integrity of any perception-related testing.
In terms of program basics, the sponsoring agency is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that NASA expects meaningful involvement during the project (for example, collaboration with the Quesst STEM team as the SIP is developed), rather than a hands-off grant. The activity category is Education, and the CFDA number listed is 43.008. The opportunity anticipated up to 4 awards, with an award ceiling of $40,000 each. The posting indicates it was created on October 6, 2023, with an original closing date of November 8, 2023. Eligibility is broadly stated as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, but the narrative makes clear the target participants are Space Grant consortia and potential regional consortium collaborations.
Overall, QCOSE is best understood as a small, targeted planning investment designed to help NASA and Space Grant partners get the community-facing STEM engagement piece right before Quesst overflights occur. The deliverable is not an event or a curriculum delivered during the award period; it is a strategic, carefully designed implementation plan that supports later engagement while protecting the validity of community acoustic perception efforts.Apply for NNH23ZHA001N
