Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Rapid Response Research: NASA's Office of Education, in collaboration with the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and the Commercial Partnerships Office, solicits proposals for the 2018 NASA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Rapid Response Research program. The Rapid Response Research is a collaborative effort between EPSCoR and the Science Mission Director, Commercial Partners, and others. The purpose is to provide a streamlined method to address research issues important to NASA. The goal is for EPSCoR researchers to work for one year with NASA to solve problems (see appendices A and B). The EPSCoR project office will work with the NSSC and NSPIRES to process proposals rapidly and remove obstacles to implementing research within NASA. The proposals should be small (2-3 pages) and submitted to NSPIRES. Each funded NASA EPSCoR proposal shall focus on developing competitive research and technology for the solution of scientific and technical problems of importance to NASA as defined the above collaborators. Proposals shall also contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities of higher education, and/or economic development of the EPSCoR jurisdiction. This Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) is designed to provide the EPSCoR Project Office with the ability to respond rapidly to proposals submitted by eligible jurisdiction NASA EPSCoR Directors.
