Description

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits proposals that are expected to establish research

development priorities and contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science, and technology

capabilities of higher education, as well as 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

and is intended to strengthen the bonds among NASA EPSCoR jurisdictions, NASA, commercial partners,
