Development of Training Materials Supporting AI for Science

NASA’s Science Mission Directorate requires a contractor to provide research and scientific expertise to develop and deliver training materials that introduce and support the use of NASA’s AI Foundation Models (FMs) – specifically the Prithvi Earth Observation (EO) and Prithvi Weather and Climate (WxC) models. The effort includes creating introductory “What is a Foundation Model” content, slide‑based or online‑class training modules for each FM, and tutorial packages for workshops, tutorials, and hackathons. The contractor will also advise the Data Analysis Services Project (DASP) Training & Learning team on curriculum needs, organize and host training events, and directly train scientists and developers on FM capabilities. The contract is intended to be a sole‑source award to the Trustees of Clark University under FAR 12.102(a), NAICS 611310, with performance at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The period of performance is 1 Mar 2026 through 31 Aug 2026. Interested parties may submit written capabilities and qualifications to the point of contact, Cody Guidry (cody.d.guidry@nasa.gov), no later than 15:00 CST on 29 Apr 2026. Key deliverables are the foundation‑model introductory slides/online class, Prithvi EO and Prithvi WxC training materials, and tutorial content for community workshops and hackathons.
