SP -- MINORITY UNIVERSITY -- SPACE INTERDISCIPLINARY NETWORK (MU-SPIN) WORKSHOP The Minority University -- Space Interdisciplinary Network (MU-SPIN) will conduct a one and a half-day workshop for the minority university community to prepare it for participation in space science research for new and current space missions. The workshop will be held on Thursday and Friday, December 9 & 10, 1999 at Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD. This will be a videoconference workshop and participants can attend at other locations around the country. Location preferences may be indicated when you register http://muspin.gsfc.nasa.gov/Home1.html ). Information will be provided at the workshop on end-to-end space science research, NASA Explorer Program, and NASA Research Announcement (NRA) and Announcement Opportunity processes. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for minority university representatives to network with some members of the space science community. It is anticipated that a dialog will be initiated at this workshop that will result in follow-up actions that could lead to diversity in the Explorer Program and other space missions.
