NLRA open period: 2/27/2024 – 7/1/2024
The purpose of this ISS National Lab Research Announcement (NLRA) is to solicit applications directed toward utilization of the ISS National Lab from principal investigators and stakeholders associated with any U.S.-based institution (academic, government, commercial, not-for-profit) with a vested interest in workforce development and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Flight projects selected via this research announcement may be awarded funding to enable mission integration and operations support for implementation on the ISS.
Applications must seek to build or expand education programs, projects, or public-private partnerships that leverage the ISS or space-based research to engage post-secondary students (including colleges, universities, community/junior colleges, and vocational institutions), K-12 students, and/or educators. To be competitive, responsive proposals must explicitly state how programming will target and reach underrepresented demographics.
This solicitation is open to U.S.-based institutions (academic, government, commercial, or nonprofit) with a vested interest in STEM education and workforce development.
This research announcement will follow a two-step proposal submission process. Before being invited to submit a full proposal, all interested investigators must first complete and submit for review a Step 1: Concept Summary.
