The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of Education, in cooperation with NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD), Human Exploration & Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD), Science Mission Directorates (SMD), Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD), and NASA’s ten centers (including JPL), solicits proposals for the NASA Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). Each funded NASA EPSCoR proposal is expected to establish research activities that will make significant contributions to the strategic research and technology development priorities of one or more of the Mission Directorates, and contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, higher education, and economic development of the jurisdiction receiving funding.
The full text of the Announcement will be posted on the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES). Please find the timeline and request for pre-proposals below.
The timeline for pre-proposal submission is as follows:
- June 22, 2018 – All pre-proposals must be submitted to NASA WV EPSCoR via e-mail (Cordwell@nasa.wvu.edu). Please note that a detailed budget is not required for this submission.
- July 13, 2018 – The PI will be notified as to which pre-proposal has been selected by NASA WV EPSCoR Committee, and will be given final instructions and budget constraints if NASA has released the FY 2019 by then.
- For the pre-proposal selected, completed proposal with all relevant signatures and certifications will be due to the NASA WV EPSCoR office at least two weeks before the submission deadline to NASA.
