New Investigations Program
Request for Proposals

Summary

The New Investigations Program is designed to strengthen the state’s aero/space-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 5 to 8 awards of up to $25,000 with a period of performance of 24 months (July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010). Awards require a 50% cost-match of non-federal funds to awarded funds. In other words, if $25,000 is requested from the NC Space Grant, then $12,500 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 a US citizen. Submission is limited to one proposal per investigator.

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

Time Line
The RFP gives incomplete mailing addresses. See this page for addressing information.
