SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

This data collection supports the Capacity Building Program of NASA's Earth Action component of the Earth Science Division. NASA is committed to effectively performing the Agency's communication function in accordance with the National Aeronautics and Space Act, (a)(3), 42 U.S.C. 2473(a)(3), to “provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof,” and to enhance public understanding of, and participation in, the nation's aeronautical and space program in accordance with the NASA Strategic Plan.

All participants of Applied Remote Sensing Training program (ARSET) trainings will be invited to complete an online survey. Participation is optional and no personal identifiers are collected to ensure confidentiality. The follow-up survey will be used to assess participant perceptions of the long-term benefits of training in earth observation tools and data, improve understanding how remote sensing data and tools are used by stakeholders, identify barriers to data and tool use, and gather suggestions for training improvement, including future training needs.
