Support for a New and Improved Approach for NASA Mission-Embedded Outreach
Former NASA policy required PI’s of proposed missions to allocate 1-2% of their budget for education & public outreach (EPO). This policy was endorsed by the previous Decadal Survey. However, the “mandate” approach was not fully successful and was discontinued. We describe a new, optional approach to mission-embedded outreach being enacted by the PUNCH mission as the basis for a new endorsement.
