New Investigations Program
Request for Proposals
Proposals are no longer being accepted.
Awards will be announced by April 15, 2009.


Summary

The New Investigations Program is designed to strengthen the state’s aerospace-related research infrastructure by providing startup funding to university personnel who are conducting research that is directly aligned with NASA’s priorities and who have either yet to become established researchers or are pursuing a significant change in research direction.

NC Space Grant anticipates making 3 to 6 awards of up to $15,000 with a period of performance of 12 months (March 15, 2009 – March 14, 2010. contingent upon NC Space Grant’s receipt of NASA funding). Awards require a 50% cost-match of non-federal funds to awarded funds. In other words, if $15,000 is requested from the NC Space Grant, then $7,500 must be provided as cost-match.

Eligibility

Competition is open to individuals at NC Space Grant member institutions. Individuals must be qualified to serve as a principal investigator at their respective institution and must be permanent U.S. citizens. Submission is limited to one proposal per investigator.

NC Space Grant encourages proposals from females, members of underrepresented minority groups, or persons with disabilities.
