The Nevada Space Grant Consortium (NVSGC) announces available funding for 2021-2022 Research Infrastructure.


Focus:  The Nevada Space Grant Consortium (NVSGC) seeks to develop a diverse and capable Nevada STEM workforce by providing funds for NASA-related faculty research and/or workforce development projects. Selected faculty projects will enhance Nevada’s research infrastructure and/or provide STEM workforce development opportunities for students in NASA Mission Directorate research topic areas (see attached list). These funds should not augment existing funded research projects.

Eligibility:

  • Faculty within any Nevada System of Higher Education Institution, particularly junior faculty, women, and members of other underrepresented populations are encouraged to apply.
  • Faculty receiving direct funding do not have to be U.S. citizens.
  • Faculty who currently have a NVSGC research infrastructure or NASA EPSCoR research sub-award/grant are not eligible until after the end of their project.
  • Faculty may only apply to the NVSGC Research Infrastructure or NV NASA EPSCoR RID Seed Grant solicitation, but not both during the same solicitation year.

Funding:  The Research Infrastructure awards will be $29,960 Federal with anticipated $21,982 state matching funds (depending on availability of State of Nevada funding) for 4-5 RI awards. Each submitted proposal must include signed budgets from their institution and any collaborating campuses with the amount of the collaborators total budget listed under 1.A. Subcontracts on the NSHE budget form for the lead institution. Awards will be made to the lead PI and then their institution will sub-award funds to any collaborating NSHE institutions.
