Research Seed Grants Deadline

Research Seed Grants (Research Initiation Grants)
(application deadline Aug. 24, 2020)

Research Initiation Grants are intended for multiple-institution research collaborations that align with NASA research and development priorities. Proposals must involve collaboration between at least two South Dakota universities. Grants are designed to assist early-stage NASA-related research projects to become more competitive for NASA EPSCoR Major Research Grants or for other sources of long-term support. Proposals may request up to $57,500 (NASA funds) with a period of performance of 24 months. SD NASA EPSCoR expects to make two awards. Research Initiation Grants require non-federal matching funds in the amount of 50% of NASA funds.
