Capacity Building

Team leads:  Chantale Damas, James Harrington, Barbara Thompson

The Capacity Building effort focuses on the workforce of tomorrow through educational and skillbuilding programs. Most of the interns are in the summer program, additionally there are year-round and focused internships. 

The second element of this program focuses on development partnerships with groups like the Python in Heliophysics Community, the NASA AIML Community of Practice, and the NASA Space Grant program. Activities include joint symposia, hackathons, and collaborative proposal development. For successful proposals, CfHA supports members to serve as advisors and collaborators. 

Additional activities center around planning and sponsoring community services, such as curriculum materials and training resources.  

We sponsor opportunities through the NASA Postdoctoral Program, and internship information can be found on our Internship page.
