2019-2020 HIGHER EDUCATION: CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND HANDS-ON-TRAINING (HE) FACULTY COMPETITION

The open application period for this funding opportunity has ended. Please check back soon for other opportunities that may be of interest to you.

The Nevada Space Grant Consortium (NVSGC) announces available funding for 2019-2020 Higher Education: Curriculum Development and Hands-On-Training (HE).


Curriculum Development (CD) Focus:  The primary focus for this Curriculum Development program is to establish new and/or revised courses and materials that infuse NASA-related content within NSHE institutional curricula.

Hands-On-Training (HOT) Focus:  The primary focus of this program is to firmly establish new STEM hands-on-training activities that utilize NASA related interdisciplinary content within higher education curricula.

Eligibility: Faculty at any Nevada System of Higher Education institution may apply. Important Change: Given new clarifications we received from the general counsel for NASA’s Office of Education, non-U.S. citizen faculty may now submit proposals for this solicitation. 

Funding:  In anticipation of receiving a one-year funded extension of Nevada’s current Space Grant award, NVSGC seeks to fund 2-3 projects with a maximum federal contribution of $25,000 each. Due to the requirements of the Space Grant program, a 1:1 institutional match is required on all awarded funds. The total maximum budget amount with match per proposal therefore is $50,000 (maximum $25,000 federal + maximum $25,000 institutional match). The number of awards and funding level are contingent on the availability of funds, which will not be known until June 2019.

Activity period:  Proposed activities may occur during the fall 2019 semester through spring/summer 2020.
