NASA has released a new activity in support of the Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) administered by NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement, as an appendix to its Engagement Opportunities in NASA STEM (EONS) – 2021 opportunity.
EONS 2021 solicits proposals for competitive funding opportunities in support of MUREP. EONS 2021 is an omnibus announcement that includes a wide range of NASA science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) engagement opportunities for basic and applied science and technology research and education.
The NASA MUREP Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (INCLUDES) Activity enables Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to organize and lead coalitions comprising multiple organizations, institutions, agencies, and industries to implement novel programs or support the expansion of existing successful programs to address critical challenges with broad impact. Proposers are encouraged to demonstrate the efficacy of an approach using recent and relevant literature or evidence-based data of existing activity designated for expansion. Awards will be made up to a maximum of $400,000 / year for three years. For general inquiries, contact NASAOCEAN@nasaprs.com.
Proposals are due 23 April 2021 at 11:59p Eastern / 10:59p Central / 9:59p Mountain / 8:59p Pacific.
A pre-proposal teleconference for MUREP INCLUDES will be held on Wed 24 March 2021 at 4p Eastern/3p Central/2p Mountain/1p Pacific. Please visit the NASA MUREP INCLUDES Activity page for login / dial-in information.
