- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters has released a solicitation, titled NASA Space Technology Research Fellowships (NSTRF) - Fall 2019, on September 6, 2018. The solicitation is available by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/, selecting "Solicitations," then selecting "Open Solicitations," and, finally, selecting the solicitation number "NSTRF19". NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) seeks to sponsor U.S. citizen, U.S. national and permanent resident graduate student research that has significant potential to contribute to NASA's goal of creating innovative new space technologies for our Nation's science, exploration, and economic future. This call for graduate student research proposals, titled NASA Space Technology Research Fellowships (NSTRF) - Fall 2019 (NSTRF19), solicits proposals from individuals pursuing or planning to pursue master's or doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in relevant space technology disciplines at accredited U.S. universities (see solicitation for complete eligibility requirements). Recipients, referred to as NASA Space Technology Research Fellows, will perform innovative space technology research and will improve America's technological competitiveness by providing the Nation with a pipeline of innovative space technologies. NASA Space Technology Research Fellows will perform research at their respective campuses and at NASA Centers. In addition to his or her faculty advisor, each Fellow will be matched with a technically relevant and community-engaged NASA researcher who will serve as the research collaborator on the award. Through this collaboration, graduate students will be able to take advantage of broader and/or deeper space technology research opportunities directly related to their academic and career objectives, acquire a more detailed understanding of the potential end applications of their space technology efforts, and directly disseminate their research results within the NASA community. Awards resulting from this competitive selection will be made in the form of grants to accredited U.S. universities. This solicitation has two phases. Phase A is the proposal submission by the current or prospective graduate student. For the student who is selected in Phase A, the accredited U.S. university where the student will be enrolled for the fall 2019 term as a full-time graduate student must submit a Phase B proposal; a complete Phase B proposal submission will result in a grant award. The financial and programmatic support for NSTRF comes from STMD. These awards are a component of the Space Technology Research Grants Program which engages the entire spectrum of academic researchers, including graduate students. Awards resulting from this solicitation are planned to coincide with the start of the 2019 academic year and are subject to the availability of appropriated funds. This solicitation covers only new proposals; renewal proposals are handled separately. All Phase A proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES and are due by 6 PM ET on November 1, 2018. Detailed submission instructions are provided under "Other Documents" on the NSPIRES webpage associated with the NSTRF19 solicitation. Potential proposers are urged to access the NSPIRES electronic proposal system well in advance of the proposal due date to register with NSPIRES, familiarize themselves with its structure, and to enter the requested information. Comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to the Space Technology Research Grants Program Executive, Claudia Meyer, at hq-nstrf-call@mail.nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of individuals/institutions who submit questions will be preserved.
