; Whereas Congress recognizes that NASA reorganized the Office of Education into the NASA STEM Engagement program in order to streamline and maximize the STEM-related activities and services it can offer within allocated fiscal resources; Whereas in NASA’s fiscal year 2020 budget, NASA requested no funding for Space Grant, Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), and Minority Universe Research and Education Project (MUREP) and proposed to use unobligated balances previously appropriated to support the termination of these activities, including but not limited to, ongoing administration, oversight, monitoring, and funding of grants previously awarded by the Office of STEM Engagement ; Whereas the Congress passed an appropriations Act, which became Public Law 116–93 , funding the NASA STEM Engagement program at $120,000,000; Whereas House Report 116–101 states The Committee expects NASA to continue implementing the programs below and to ensure that overhead costs to support these programs do not exceed five percent. Further, the Committee directs NASA to include an adequately requested funding amount for STEM in the fiscal year 2021 budget request and future requests. ; Whereas Senate Report 116–127 states The Committee is supportive of NASA’s STEM engagement efforts that provide hands-on learning experiences for middle, high school, and college students, including space launch activities, and therefore rejects the proposed cancellation of education programs. These types of programs allow students to experience the full range of STEM-related skills involved in designing, testing, and launching vehicles and designing payloads to deepen their interest in science and engineering fields. ; Whereas Congress recognizes that it is a critical moment for American educators, students, and STEM innovators, through their elected Representatives and Senators, to identify the critical necessity for NASA’s STEM Engagement programs that must be preserved and expanded
