About this opportunity

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to solicit proposals for the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Basic Research opportunity. The objective is to establish research activities that will make significant contributions to NASA's strategic priorities and enhance the research infrastructure, science, and technology capabilities of higher education institutions. Successful proposals will involve collaboration between EPSCoR researchers and NASA researchers to address scientific and technical issues aligned with NASA's mission directorates, centers, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Proposals must be submitted by January 29, 2025.

The funding for this opportunity is provided under NASA's Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) program, which supports a wide range of educational initiatives and research projects. Awards are anticipated to be in the form of Cooperative Agreements, allowing for collaboration between recipients and NASA. The expected award amount range is not specified, but previous awards under the OSTEM program have ranged from $40,000 to $2 million with performance periods of 1-3 years. Projects are typically performed at the recipient institutions, with involvement from NASA centers.

Synopsis

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits proposals that will result in awards 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. Awards resulting from successful proposals will also contribute to 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, Centers, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as listed in the Appendix-A, NASA Mission Directorates and Center Alignment. This collaboration 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.
