Opportunity NNK09ZXA001N: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is releasing a NASA Research Announcement (NRA), for NRA NNK09ZXA001N, Minority University Research and Education Programs (MUREP) Small Programs (MSP) Opportunity. This effort will seek innovative approaches to using NASA-themed content in support of higher education teaching and learning. Each funded proposal is expected to leverage NASA's unique contributions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to enhance students' academic experiences and/or to improve educators' abilities to engage and stimulate their students. The outcomes of the proposal shall support NASA education reporting metrics for higher education. The target students shall be enrolled at an accredited college or university, with a declared major in STEM, or pre-service teachers. Proposed work must be grounded in education research and/or best practices, and incorporate formative, summative, and other evaluations, as appropriate. Desired Outcomes The Minority University Research and Education Programs (MUREP) Small Programs (MSP) Competitive Grant Opportunity (MSPCG) activity will consider proposals that use the STEM content of NASA's missions to: - Develop, promote, or utilize new, innovative, and replicable approaches to improving STEM learning and instruction in support of NASA's reporting metrics; and - Provide experiences and activities that are grounded in education research or utilize evidence-supported approaches, techniques, and tools. Number and Size of Awards It is anticipated that approximately 3-4 awards, ranging from $50K - $350K each ($840K total has been allocated for this solicitation), for a one-year period of performance may be made under this NRA, pursuant to the authority of the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook (http://ec.msfc.nasa.gov/hq/grcover.htm), Section 1260.12(d). Successful projects will be eligible for renewal for up to two additional years, based on project performance and funds availability. NASA reserves the right to partially fund projects, limit the number of projects funded, or limit the funding level below the allocated amount. Eligibility Proposals will be accepted from Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) and organizations that support MSIs and underserved/underrepresented students. Eligible MSIs include the Department of Education designated Historically Black College or University (HBCU), Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), Tribal College or University (TCU), or MSIs that offer degrees in STEM disciplines. Please check http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html for a complete listing of the minority institutions. These organizations and universities may apply through partnership with a NASA field center, although such a partnership is not a requirement for eligibility. Proposal Process: Notice of Intent and Full Proposals Proposers shall submit a short Notice of Intent (NOI) that briefly describes the work to be performed, NASA content to be featured, audiences to be reached, need, innovative approaches to be employed, estimated costs, and summary of evidence supporting the methods, techniques, and tools to be used.
