Einstein Centennial 2005
"Look
deep, deep into nature, and then you will understand everything
better." -Albert Einstein
In 1905, Einstein published four amazing physics papers,
including his theory of special relativity (suggesting
that light travels at a constant speed, while time can
slow down or speed up!) and his famous relationship between
matter and energy: E=mc2. Einstein's new ideas about the
connections between space, time, matter and energy revolutionized
our view of the universe we live in. Now, one hundred
years later, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate
the ongoing quest to understand our place in space and
time.

SERCH Funding Overview
SERCH dedicates money from its budget to support education and public outreach (E/PO) initiatives ,
within the SERCH region, that will increase the awareness and understanding of Earth-Sun system
science, solar system research and universe exploration. SERCH is particularly interested in
proposals for E/PO efforts that establish strong and lasting partnerships between the Earth/space
science and education communities. Central to this SERCH opportunity is that the funded
projects/programs support the vision and mission of
NASA,
NASA's Vision
for Education, the Science
Mission Directorate (SMD) goals and the
Support Network
Forums.
Furthermore, SERCH is interested in proposals for education and outreach efforts that support the
Broker/Facilitator operating principles, which include:
| Establishing strong and lasting partnerships between the space
science and education communities. |
| Highly leveraged programs/projects, relying upon a multiplier effect to
reach as many communities, teachers, and students as possible. |
| Being inclusive of the broadest possible audience. Activities that
foster the meaningful participation of underserved/underrepresented groups are encouraged. |
Grants are awarded for a period of one year in amounts usually ranging from $5,000 to $10,000.
