Dear Colleagues,
Vermonts NASA EPSCoR Project anticipates that a solicitation from the National Program at NASA Headquarters for a new 2016 NASA EPSCoR Faculty Research Team Competition will be announced sometime late in the Fall of 2015. Historically, NASA EPSCoR has made awards of $750,000 for a three-year period of performance to the selected research teams, including a 50% match (1-to-2) consisting of local non-Federal funds.
As in past years, it will be necessary to select the top project(s) ahead of time so as to be prepared once the formal announcement of the 2016 Competition is posted. This local selection of projects will be made on the basis of peer-reviewed pre-proposals. Vermont faculty researchers wishing to be considered as Science PIs for inclusion in this competition must submit a pre-proposal for their proposed team research project to the VT-NASA EPSCoR Office no later than COB on Friday, November 13.
Additional details, along with instructions for the pre-proposal preparation and submission, are provided in the attached document.
Although a formal RFP has not yet appeared from NASA, I am also attaching a copy of the FY 2015 announcement to provide some initial guidance and information; the new announcement is unlikely to differ dramatically from this.
Any questions can be directed to my intention via email, or in person at the VTSGC/NASA EPSCoR Office in 101 Votey Hall (802.656.1429).
Sincerely,
Darren
