(GLOBE): Announcement of Opportunity for Science/Education Teams. POC
Contact Technical Representative: Barrett Rock, 202-395-7600. The
Government is interested in receiving proposals that address the
development of services and materials to support scientific
measurements, environmental education, teacher training, and program
evaluation as part of the GLOBE Program. The GLOBE Program is an
international education and science program that will involve students
all over the Earth in measuring their local environment and creating a
global set of data to be shared via the Internet that will be used to
create global environmental images for the students and by
environmental scientists. GLOBE is driven in part by the measurement
needs of scientists and will be structured to teach students about the
Earth's environment, thereby generating increased interest in science
and awareness of the changing global environment. A public briefing
will be held from 10:00 to 12:00 on November 3, 1994, in the Auditorium
of the Department of Commerce, which is entered on 14th St. between
Constitution Ave. and E St. in Washington, DC. Organizations planning
to attend should provide a list of attendees, limit two per
organization, to John Schmidt, 202-395-7600, FAX 202-395-7611. The
Program Announcement, which contains a detailed description of the
competition, will be released on or about October 28, 1994; deadline
for receipt of proposals is December 15, 1994. Any award is subject to
availability of funds. Proposals will be evaluated by a peer review
panel, which will meet in January, 1995. Written requests for copies of
the announcement should be directed to Dr. Barrett Rock. The GLOBE
Program, 744 Jackson Place, NW., Washington, DC 20503. For information
