NASA is offering the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) grant. This grant provides seed funding to enable jurisdictions to develop academic research enterprises. Its purpose is to build long-term, self-sustaining, nationally competitive capabilities in aerospace and aerospace-related research. This will enhance the nation’s research and development base and contribute to economic viability. NASA continues to help jurisdictions achieve these goals through EPSCoR. Proposals are selected via a merit-based, peer-review competition and then presented for review to a NASA HQ Mission Directorate Panel.

| Description: |
The goal of NASA EPSCoR is to provide seed funding that will enable jurisdictions to develop an academic research enterprise directed toward longterm, self-sustaining, nationally competitive capabilities in aerospace and aerospace-related research. This capability will, in turn, contribute to the jurisdiction’s economic viability and expand the nation’s base for aerospace research and development. Based on the availability of funding, NASA will continue to help jurisdictions achieve these goals through NASA EPSCoR. Funded jurisdictions’ proposals shall be selected through a meritbased, peer-review competition and presented for review to a NASA HQ Mission Directorate Review Panel. |
