Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) —due Friday 11.07.08
The REU program, aimed at undergraduate students attending colleges and universities in South Carolina, encourages student participation in order to meet the growing need for skilled science and engineering workers for the nation, NASA, and South Carolina. Successful REU mentors link their research to the work conducted at NASA centers and create a SCSGC REU site. This linkage establishes a working relationship between NASA scientists and undergraduate students, and will enable students to continue their working relationships with NASA after graduation. The SCSGC-REU will enable mentors at Colleges throughout South Carolina and the Virgin Islands to immerse students in "hands on" learning experiences while working on NASA-related aerospace research.

Research and Education Awards Program (REAP) —due Friday 02.06.09
The primary objective of REAP is to provide funding for faculty members to initiate or enhance research programs that have strong linkages to NASA's Mission Directorates. Consequently, the overall goal is to effectively utilize the SCSGC resources: 1) to develop new research projects or directions, 2) to obtain unique training and exposure, and 3) to foster collaborations among the campuses, as well as with NASA and/or other federal agencies and the aerospace industry, in general. Consequently, the REAP is not intended to provide long-term continuing support for faculty members and priority will be given to new faculty members and other faculty members with strong research/education records who are proposing research/education activities in areas outside their established area(s). It is anticipated that faculty members receiving funding through the REAP will use the funds as an incubator for long-term research/education relationships with NASA Centers and other federal agencies.
This program is separated into four subprograms with the following specific objectives. The maximum funding level for awards is in parentheses. Please consult the Consortium Members for a list of SC Space Grant schools.
- RESEARCH GRANT AWARD SUBPROGRAM —LOI due Friday 01.16.09 is intended to provide faculty members with funds to conduct a one-year research project (with the possibility of renewal for one additional year) in support of one of NASA's Mission Directorates in earth science, space science, aeronautics, and the human exploration and development of space. Up to five awards will be made ($30,000 maximum per award, not including matching funds) For a project to be truly competitive, a researcher should have a direct partnership with a NASA facility, lab or center.
- RESEARCH FACILITATION/INITIATION AWARD SUBPROGRAM is intended to provide faculty members with research support for aerospace-related activities, such as (but not limited to) initiating a research project, enhancing an existing research activity, supporting a graduate student to join a faculty member at a field center for part of a summer term, developing a new research project among scientists at several SCSGC campuses, or providing faculty summer support at facilities not covered by existing programs. ($8,000 maximum per award, not including matching funds).
- EDUCATION RESEARCH AWARD is intended to provide faculty members with research support for science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM)-related activities, such as (but not limited to) initiating an education research project, enhancing an existing education research activity, supporting a graduate student to join a faculty member at a field center for part of a summer term to help with the education research project, developing a new education research project among scientists at several SCSGC campuses, or providing faculty summer support at facilities not covered by existing programs. ($8,000 maximum per award, not including matching funds).
- CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AWARD SUBPROGRAM will provide funds for faculty members to develop coursework or education materials related to the fields of science and engineering. ($4,000 maximum per award, not including matching funds).
- TRAVEL AWARD SUBPROGRAM will provide funds for faculty members and students to make short trips to visit federal facilities (especially NASA facilities), to meet with international groups or other Space Grant campuses and to a lesser extent to present results at professional meetings. Proposals that are submitted to this program must demonstrate the need for, and expected benefit to, the research/training of the applicant ($2,000 maximum per award, not including matching funds).

NASA Aeronautics Research Opportunities
- NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate has released its "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2008" announcement. The initial version of this announcement solicits research in support of the Supersonics Project. The goals of the Supersonics Project are to address technical challenges associated with supersonic flight over land and to develop technologies required to build future high mass Mars entry systems that will enable large missions for the exploration of Mars and other planets. NASA anticipates that educational institutions, nonprofit organizations and industry engaged in fundamental research will be the primary award recipients for this announcement. Specific evaluation criteria, deadlines and points of contact for this research topic and other project areas are available in the announcement at: http://nspires.nasaprs.com.
