| Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) |
| NASA's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is designed to support states with modest research infrastructure to become more competitive in attracting research funding.

| Pre-Service Teachers Institute (PSTI) |
| The PSTI is a two week residential workshop. The purpose of this program is to increase students� skills in teaching mathematics and science, while incorporating technology in their curriculum. This is achieved through the development of a problem-based learning (PBL) aerospace theme. Strong NASA content will be implemented throughout. As the hosting institution, the University of Central Florida (UCF) will provide faculty to teach the PBL technique during specific sessions of the program. The entire two-week curriculum will be coordinated with the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Educator Resource Center (ERC) staff. |
