The North Carolina Space Grant (NC Space Grant) Faculty Research Grant is designed to provide support for faculty and the students they engage in their research. This award is aimed at both emerging and established researchers who wish to pursue new research directions, develop new projects, engage more students in their research, and/or cultivate new collaborations to align their work with that of National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) related Mission Directorates.
The goals of the Faculty Research Grant are to incentivize faculty to:
- Develop new research projects or research directions related to NASA;
- Meaningfully engage undergraduate and/or graduate students in their research endeavors; and
- Cultivate collaboration among new partners (e.g., universities and colleges, NASA centers, federal laboratories or research facilities, the International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory, commercial space and other industry partners, formal and informal education partners, state and local government agencies, etc.).
