Will NASA be supporting Dennis Tito's Inspiration Mars 2018 mission in any way?

That's the average over 3 seconds, but most of the acceleration is in the first second or less, I think the peak is about 15-18 g's.

Or maybe a crew of 6 to/from a Mars mission ship that's assembled in LEO?

For background, I believe currently (in this year's budget) there is an initiative to consolidate STEM education from various agencies together (NASA, NHS, NOAA, DOE, etc). So the funding for NASA STEM education is not so much cut as being put into a new program.
