NASA MUREP Competition Accepting Spring Proposals until 13 March 2024

The NASA Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Innovation and Tech Transfer Idea Competition (MITTIC) is excited to announce that proposals for the Spring 2024 competition will be accepted from 3 January to 13 March 2024!

Spread the word to encourage student teams from Minority Serving Institutions around the country to take on the challenge of changing the world with NASA technology by proposing their own start-up businesses. MITTIC provides a resume-worthy experience, an opportunity for $20,000 in prize money, bragging rights for your school, and space to learn and show off entrepreneurial skills.

This #SpaceToPitch is a chance to develop a “spinoff” idea into a lucrative business opportunity in the future.

For more information, check out the MITTIC website, or e-mail at hq-mittic@mail.nasa.gov.
