Description
The NASA Office of Education, Integration Division, Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP) anticipates the release of a solicitation for proposals for the NASA Group 4 University Research Centers (URC). This solicitation is in cooperation with NASA’s four Mission Directorates – Aeronautics Research, Exploration Systems, Science, and Space Operations and NASA’s ten Field Centers. Each University Research Center (URC) is expected to be a multi-disciplinary scientific, engineering and/or commercial research center designed to provide a broad-based, competitive NASA-related research capability among the Nation’s Minority Institutions, foster new aerospace science and technology concepts, provide mechanisms for expanded participation by faculty and students of Minority Institutions in mainstream research, and increase the number of underrepresented and underserved U.S. students obtaining advanced degrees in NASA-related fields and entering the aerospace workforce. All institutions designated by the Department of Education as a Historically Black College or University, Hispanic Serving Institution, or Minority Serving Institution are eligible to apply for this cooperative agreement funding opportunity. Each URC is to identify, in its notice of intent and proposal, the primary NASA Mission Directorate towards which the URC research activities will be directed. NASA research priorities are defined by the Mission Directorates—Aeronautics Research, Exploration Systems, Science, and Space Operations. Each Mission Directorate covers a major area of the Agency’s research and technology development efforts. General information about NASA research priorities and current NASA research solicitations can be found on NASA’s solicitation and proposal online database, NSPIRES, at http://nspires.nasaprs.com (select “Solicitations” and then “Open Solicitations”) and Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/search/agency.doc (click on “National Aeronautics and Space Administration”). A Notice of Intent (NOI) is required for submission of proposals to this solicitation. Successful proposals will be funded as cooperative agreements. The solicitation will be made available on the NSPIRES website.
