Sponsor: NASA EPSCoRInternal Deadline: 11/26/2024Institutional Submission Limit: 3Sponsor Deadline: 02/26/2025Program Website
This program seeks proposals that are expected to establish research activities that will make significant contributions to NASA’s strategic research and technology development priorities and contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science, and technology capabilities of higher education, as well as the economic development of the jurisdiction receiving funding. Each funded NASA EPSCoR proposer shall work closely with a NASA researcher to focus on developing competitive research and technology for the solution of scientific and technical issues of importance to the NASA Mission Directorates and Centers as listed in the Appendix-A, NASA Mission Directorates and Center Alignment. This will allow EPSCoR researchers to work alongside NASA and commercial partners and is intended to strengthen the bonds among NASA EPSCoR jurisdictions, NASA, commercial partners, and other entities.
The maximum funding request per proposal is $125,000. This amount is to be expended over a one-year period.
NASA is hosting a pre-proposal webinar on Dec. 6, 2pm. Link to be posted to NSPIRES.
Each institution is permitted 3 proposals.
(for FY2025, proposals are not limited by state; proposals will not go through the SC NASA EPSCoR office and there will not be a state-wide competition)
