NCSGC Research Seed Grant
2005-2006

Deadline: February 15, 2005

The North Carolina Space Grant Consortium invites proposals for grants that foster the growth of exploratory programs that involve a space-related discipline or interdisciplinary field of interest to NASA, and to provide resources necessary to develop proposals for significant long-range support external to NC Space Grant funding. Projects that involve university-industry or university-university partnerships are encouraged. The technical quality of the proposed research and the potential for developing long-range cooperative efforts through funding external to Space Grant are the two key criteria for funding to support new projects or programs. Applicants may request funding up to $4,000* the maximum award per project. All award recipients must submit a final report and will be expected to participate in the annual NC Space Grant Conference.

*Award amount subject to availability of funds.
