CP4SMP+ is a competitive, high-quality national program. The basic goal of the CP4SMP+ solicitation is to further NASA Strategic Goal 6: Share NASA with the public, educators and students to provide opportunities to participate in our mission, foster innovation and contribute to a strong national economy. A primary, but not the only, subgoal of this solicitation is to achieve NASA's flagship investment in Outcome 6.2: Promote STEM literacy through strategic partnerships with formal and informal organizations.

Eligible institutions do not need to have the words "museum," "visitor center," "science" or "planetarium" in their official names, but must be located in the United States or its territories.
