ECF challenges early career faculty to examine the theoretical feasibility of ideas and approaches that are critical to making science, space travel, and exploration more effective, affordable, and sustainable. Awards result from successful proposals to the ECF Appendix to the SpaceTech-REDDI NASA Research Announcement. The ECF Appendix is expected to be released annually and will feature specific topics.

Awards are expected to be a maximum of three years, and the total award value may not exceed $600K, and the amount in any one year may not exceed $200K. For questions about the Early Career Faculty opportunity, please direct inquiries to: hq-ecf-call@mail. nasa.
