NASA University Research Centers Technical Assistance Workshop

The NASA University Research Centers Technical Assistance Workshop will be held on May 12, 2008, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. as a pre-conference event at the Minority Serving Institutions Research Partnerships Conference in New Orleans, La.

This workshop will include a special matchmaking session to provide an opportunity to identify potential partnerships in NASA-related areas of interest with NASA’s current prime contractors. The workshop will provide overviews of NASA Education’s current priorities and requirements, the NASA mission directorates, and the URC proposal solicitation, proposal development and submission process. Representatives from NASA centers and headquarters will be on hand to interact with participants and answer questions.

Also during the conference, on May 14, 2008, several NASA Higher Education programs will be featured during the opening and concurrent sessions. These programs include the NASA Science and Technology Institute at the NASA/ Ames Research Park, Harriett Jenkins Pre-Doctoral Fellowship, and current and past NASA University Research Centers will showcase their capabilities and accomplishments.
