New Hampshire NASA EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Development (RID) Program Funding Extension (Year 4)

This proposal requests an additional year of funding to the existing grant NNX15AK51A for the purpose of maintaining the work scope of the existing award. The strategic goal of the NASA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, Research Infrastructure Development (EPSCoR RID) project in New Hampshire is to support promising academic research enterprises within the State that are directed toward generating or enhancing long-term, self-sustaining, nationally-competitive capabilities in areas of strategic importance to the NASA mission and of mutual benefit to the research infrastructure in New Hampshire. The program elements included in this extension proposal provide 1) partial support for program management and meetings, and 2) funding for seed and research initiative mini-grants (including the opportunity for travel grants for jurisdiction researchers). The proposed cost includes a 1:1 matching funds requirement.

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
