NASA Nebraska EPSCoR Statewide Limited Submission Competition*
*Stay tuned for the next call for proposals for this annual competition
The purpose of the statewide competition is to select the top proposal from across Nebraska. The selected proposal will be submitted to the national NASA EPSCoR Basic Research competition on behalf of NASA Nebraska EPSCoR. The NASA Nebraska EPSCoR program is initiating this competition at the state level to evaluate the proposal to be submitted upon NASA’s official announcement of the national competition. NASA Nebraska EPSCoR will only consider proposals from this competition to be eligible in the national NASA EPSCoR competition upon release of a solicitation.
The purpose of the NASA EPSCoR program is to establish partnerships with government, higher education, and industry that are designed to effect lasting improvements in a state’s or region’s research infrastructure, R&D capacity and hence, its national R&D competitiveness. In addition to the research and technology development, the awards enable faculty development and higher education student support.
All institutions of higher education in Nebraska are eligible for NASA Nebraska EPSCoR research funds.
NASA Nebraska EPSCoR Research Mini-Grants*
