RELEASE: 09-139
NASA ANNOUNCES EDUCATION RESEARCH PROGRAM AWARD RECIPIENTS
WASHINGTON -- NASA has awarded approximately $19 million to colleges
and universities nationwide to conduct research and technology
development in areas of importance to NASA's mission. In addition,
the awards enable faculty development and higher education student
support.
The selections are part of NASA's Experimental Program to Stimulate
Competitive Research, known as EPSCoR. The program is designed to
assist states in establishing an academic research enterprise
directed toward a long-term, self-sustaining and competitive
capability that will contribute to its economic viability and
development. The program helps develop partnerships between NASA
research assets, academic institutions and industry. The selected
proposals support all four of NASA's mission directorates:
aeronautics, exploration systems, science and space operations.
A total of 27 proposals were selected from organizations in Alabama,
Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont and West
Virginia.
Two proposals were selected from each of the following colleges and
universities:
New Mexico State University
South Dakota School of Mines & Technology
University of Alabama In Huntsville
University of Nebraska at Omaha
University of Puerto Rico
University of Vermont & State Agricultural College
Wichita State University, Kansas
One proposal was selected from each of the following organizations:
College of Charleston, South Carolina
Louisiana Board of Regents Foundation
Montana State University
University of Arkansas at Little Rock
University of Hawaii Systems
University of Idaho
University of Mississippi
University of North Dakota
University of Northern Iowa
University of Oklahoma
University of Utah
Vanderbilt University
West Virginia University
Proposals were chosen through a merit-based, peer-reviewed
competition. The maximum award is $750,000 for a 3-year period. A
one-to-one match of funds is required for every NASA dollar awarded.
This program and the agency's other education programs support NASA's
commitment to excellence in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics, which will play a key role in preparing, inspiring,
encouraging and nurturing the nation's future workforce.
