About this award
NASA has awarded a $4.99 million cooperative agreement to Florida A&M University (FAMU) Division of Research for the Integrative Space Additive Manufacturing (IN-SPACE AM) project, which focuses on workforce development in NASA-related materials research and education. The award, issued September 1, 2024, extends through September 30, 2029, and will be performed at FAMU's Tallahassee, Florida campus. This cooperative agreement represents NASA's investment in developing human capital and educational capacity in advanced manufacturing technologies critical to space exploration, while leveraging FAMU's established expertise as a historically Black land-grant university with significant experience delivering aerospace and materials science research.
The IN-SPACE AM initiative aligns with NASA's broader strategic objectives to advance in-space manufacturing capabilities and build a skilled workforce in emerging aerospace technologies. As a Minority-Serving Institution and 1890 Land-Grant Institution, FAMU is positioned to expand participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields through this project, combining research advancement with educational outreach. The cooperative agreement structure indicates an anticipated collaborative relationship between NASA and the university, enabling integration of cutting-edge materials research with workforce development programming designed to strengthen the nation's capacity in space-based additive manufacturing technologies.
