中文导读 亚利桑那州立大学 2026 年 11 月 4 日报道：NASA 向校内科学激活项目 SCoPE 提供五年 648 万美元资助，帮助早期职业科学家把研究转化为公众学习。项目每年招收两组各十名研究生与博士后，提供津贴、培训、指导，并另设最高一万美元的合作小型资助。例子包括可移动穹顶天文馆节目（连接深海研究与欧罗巴快船任务），以及把南极浮游植物研究方法带给波多黎各学生。阅读时可留意 award、program、research、education、mission 等词，以及 may、does not claim 如何保留项目边界。
正文 A school gym can become a planetarium . A classroom activity can turn students into detectives who study tiny ocean plants . Those learning experiences grew from partnerships between NASA - funded scientists and educators . On 4 November 2026, Arizona State University reported a new five-year NASA award of 6.48 million dollars for a program called SCoPE , which helps early - career researchers turn space and Earth science into public learning .
本段译文 学校体育馆可以变成一座天文馆。课堂上的活动也能让学生变成研究微小海洋植物的侦探。这些学习体验来自美国国家航空航天局（NASA）资助的科学家与教育工作者之间的合作。2026年11月4日，亚利桑那州立大学（Arizona State University）报道：一项为期五年、金额648万美元的 NASA 新资助将支持名为 SCoPE 的项目，帮助早期职业研究者把太空与地球科学转化为面向公众的学习。
SCoPE is a Science Activation effort based at the university . Each year it will run two yearlong groups of ten graduate students and postdoctoral scholars — one group in Arizona and one nationwide . Participants will receive stipends , training , mentoring , and help finding education partners . Separate mini grants of up to 10,000 dollars will support deeper projects designed with those partners . Jessica Swann , the program’s principal investigator , says scientists are often told to engage the public but lack time , resources , or partnerships . SCoPE treats that engagement as real professional work that should be paid and supported
本段译文 SCoPE 是设在该校的一项科学激活（Science Activation）工作。它每年将开办两组为期一年、每组十人的研究生与博士后学者队伍——一组在亚利桑那州，一组面向全国。参与者将获得津贴、培训、指导，以及寻找教育合作伙伴的帮助。另有最高一万美元的小型资助，支持与这些伙伴共同设计的更深项目。项目首席研究员 Jessica Swann 说，科学家常被要求面向公众开展科普，却缺少时间、资源或合作关系。SCoPE 把这类公众参与当作应获得报酬与支持的真正专业工作。
One recent example shows how that support looks in practice . Sarah Treadwell , a doctoral candidate at the University of North Dakota , worked with OpenSpace to create a live planetarium show inside a portable dome . The program links deep -sea research on Earth with NASA’s Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter’s icy moon . By rolling the dome into school gyms , schools can offer the experience without the cost of a planetarium field trip . Treadwell said the work has changed her life and she believes it is changing children’s lives too .
本段译文 一个近期例子展示了这种支持在实践中的样子。北达科他大学博士生 Sarah Treadwell 与 OpenSpace 合作，在一座可移动穹顶内制作了现场讲解的天文馆节目。节目把地球上的深海研究与 NASA 探测木星冰冷卫星的「欧罗巴快船」（Europa Clipper）任务联系起来。把穹顶推进学校体育馆后，学校无需承担天文馆实地参观的费用也能提供这一体验。Treadwell 说，这项工作改变了她的生活，她相信也在改变孩子们的生活。
Another project brought Antarctic phytoplankton research to thirty students in Puerto Rico . Researchers Allison Cusick and Martina Mascioni worked with NASA’s OCEANOS education team . Students examined phytoplankton under microscopes , explored DNA techniques , and used sampling methods from polar research . The activities connected tropical waters with polar ecosystems through the tiny organisms that help feed ocean food webs .
本段译文 另一个项目把南极浮游植物研究带给了波多黎各的三十名学生。研究者 Allison Cusick 与 Martina Mascioni 与 NASA 的 OCEANOS 教育团队合作。学生们在显微镜下观察浮游植物，了解 DNA 技术，并使用极地研究中的采样方法。这些活动通过支撑海洋食物网的微小生物，把热带水域与极地生态系统联系起来。
During an earlier award period , SCoPE trained 314 scientists across 49 events and gave 41 seed grants ; early - career scientists received 85 percent of them . The new award runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2031 and is administered by Arizona State University with NASA partners . Dave Williams , a research professor at the university , says people want to know what NASA is discovering now , and scientists close to missions can bring that work to life . Cohort applications open on 1 December , with an online information session planned for 17 November . The program does not claim every school will get a dome ; it offers funded paths for scientists and educators who want to build learning experiences together .
本段译文 在更早的资助周期里，SCoPE 在 49 场活动中培训了 314 名科学家，并发放 41 笔种子资助；早期职业科学家获得了其中的 85%。新资助自 2026 年 10 月 15 日运行至 2031 年 10 月 14 日，由亚利桑那州立大学管理，并与 NASA 合作伙伴协作。该校研究教授 Dave Williams 说，人们想知道 NASA 此刻正在发现什么，而靠近任务的科学家能把这些工作带到现实中。下一期队伍申请于 12 月 1 日开放，线上说明会计划在 11 月 17 日举行。该项目并不声称每所学校都会得到一座穹顶；它为希望共同打造学习体验的科学家与教育者提供有资助的路径。
