Curriculum Development (CD) Focus: The primary focus for the Curriculum Development program is to establish new and/or revised courses and materials that infuse NASA content directly related to NASA Mission Directorate priorities (see paperclipped file) within NSHE institutional curricula.
Hands-On-Training (HOT) Focus: The primary focus of this program is to establish new authentic STEM hands-on-training activities for college students that utilize NASA related interdisciplinary content.
For both the CD and HOT, the NASA Office of STEM Engagement (NASA OSTEM) Space Grant solicitation states that all funded projects must be directly relevant to one or more Mission Directorate priorities. Please clearly state how the proposed effort will address a priority on the list.
Eligibility: Faculty at any Nevada System of Higher Education institution may apply.
Funding: The Nevada Space Grant Consortium (NVSGC) seeks to fund three projects for either Curriculum Development or Hands-On-Training. The awards will be $22,250 Federal with $22,250 matching fund including state program match and institutional match. Please note that potential delays in Congressional appropriations and the release of funds may result in late sub-awards. We currently anticipate creating sub-awards during Spring 2026.
