This NASA Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites proposals in response to NASA Fellowship Activity 2021: APPENDIX K: Program Element One: Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) (MSI Fellowships 2021).
NASA intends to award up to $550,000 in research training grants in FY 2021 to assist faculty and students from the Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in research and to provide authentic STEM engagement related to NASA missions. For Program Element One, NASA will consider the submission of applications from MSIs, to include historically underrepresented groups and underserved populations, such as women, minorities, persons with disabilities, LGBTQs and veterans.
To be eligible to submit a proposal, candidates must attend an MSI, be U.S. citizens or a national who hold a bachelor’s degree earned before Aug. 31, 2021; candidates must be enrolled in a master’s or doctoral degree program no later than Sept. 1, 2021, and intend to pursue a research-based Masters or Ph.D. program in a NASA-relevant field. For each Fellow, his or her institution receives up to a $55,000 annual award ($50,000 for Master’s student and $55,000 for Doctoral student), pending available Congressional funding.
Proposals are due May 24, 2021.
