The goals of this program are two-fold: (1) help prepare the next generation of researchers in STEM disciplines; and (2) to provide research support for faculty working in areas that strongly align with new and continuing NASA research priorities and technology needs. Therefore, the proposal for a VTSGC Graduate Research Assistantship must be written by the faculty advisor as principal investigator (PI) and tailored to show how the requested support for a specific, named student will advance the PI’s research program in an area that is a NASA research priority. As such, proposals for a student “To Be Named” will not be accepted. The faculty research project topic should have the potential to be nationally competitive for follow-on funding from NASA or a similar Federal agency through non-Space Grant or non-NASA EPSCoR funding mechanisms.
