Please check back soon for other opportunities that may be of interest to you. The Nevada NASA EPSCoR program announces available funding for 2025 Research Infrastructure Development (RID) Seed Grants. Focus : The programmatic focus is to further engage and utilize Nevada’s unique resources and talent for enhancing scientific discovery and/or developing new technologies to address NASA’s research priorities.

The request for seed grant funds may be based on outcomes from prior workshops/meetings with NASA Personnel; however, a seed grant award should not augment existing funded research projects. Research Infrastructure Development (RID) activities should target unique activities that increase Nevada’s competitiveness.

The seed grant proposals must result in the submission of a new proposal to a NASA or relevant program, and be designed for activities that accomplish one or more of the following: Initiate inter-or multi-disciplinary activities; Create critical mass or expertise on topics of strategic interest to NASA and Nevada; and/or Engage NASA scientists from one or more NASA Centers.

Note : There is no requirement to collaborate with other NSHE institutions nor that funds be used to support student participation, although it is allowable. Any student support should be fully explained in the project description. Faculty within any Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Institution, particularly junior faculty, women, and members of other underrepresented populations are encouraged to apply.

Faculty receiving direct funding do not have to be U.S. citizens. Faculty who currently have a NVSGC research infrastructure or NASA EPSCoR research sub-award/grant are not eligible until after the end of their project. Faculty may only apply to the NVSGC Research Infrastructure or NV NASA EPSCoR RID Seed Grant solicitation, but not both during the same solicitation year.

Funding : Depending on available funds, it is anticipated that 2 projects will be awarded. Project total should not exceed $31,000. Each submitted proposal must include budgets signed by the Sponsored Projects Office or Business Managers from the lead institution and any collaborating NSHE institutions with the amount of the collaborators total budget listed under 1.

A. Subcontracts on the NSHE budget form for the lead institution. Awards will be made to the lead PI and then their institution will sub-award funds to any collaborating NSHE institutions.

It is expected that each institution involved in a project will receive both Federal and State matching funds. Please note that potential delays in Congressional appropriations and release of funds may result in late sub-awards. We currently anticipate making sub-awards during Summer 2025.

Proposed project period may start on August 1, 2025 and extend through May 31, 2026. A web-based meeting (MS 365 Teams) will be held to provide an overview of NV NASA EPSCoR RID Seed Grant and NVSGC Research Infrastructure solicitations, tips on proposal preparation and Q&A. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at 2:00 pm (PT).

Please note that this webinar will be recorded and will be made available on the NV NASA Programs website. Use this link to attend: JOIN THE MEETING Proposal Deadline: Friday, February 21, 2025; 5:00 pm PT.

Engineering Research Initiation (ERI)

The NSF Directorate for Engineering (ENG) seeks to build engineering research capacity across the nation by investing in new academic investigators who have yet to receive sufficient research funding from Federal Agencies. The Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) program will support new investigators as they initiate their research programs and advance in their careers as researchers, educators, and innovators. This funding opportunity aims to broaden the base of investigators involved in engineering research and therefore is limited to investigators that are not affiliated with “very high research activity” R1 institutions (according to the Carnegie Classification https://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/). Funding Opportunity Number: 24-590. Assistance Listing: 47.041. Funding Instrument: G. Category: ST. Award Amount: Starting at $200K per award.

NASA EPSCoR Grant Writing Tips

NASA Is Asking States to Bid for a Federal Service Academy. One Submission Per Governor, No Dollar Figure, and a Groundbreaking Date of 2027.

NASA published an RFI on September 12, 2026 seeking states willing to host and sponsor the new United States Space Academy, with responses due October 26 at 6 p.m. EDT through SAM.gov. Only a governor or a governor's designee may submit, and only once per state. The timeline demands groundbreaking by 2027, 300 students in temporary facilities in 2028, and a permanent campus by 2031. Here is what that structure actually means for universities, economic development agencies, and contractors in the states that compete.

NASA Promised ROSES-2026 in July. It Is August 29, ROSES-25's Rolling Deadlines Hit the Wall Monday, and the New Solicitation Still Reads 'Pending.'

ROSES-2025 has been amended 69 times and now runs to December 31, 2026 — but the 'no due date' and flexible program elements that carried the community through the gap close August 31. Two rules changed mid-cycle that most proposers have not read: a generative-AI citation requirement and a $0.09-per-SBU charge for NASA high-end computing that must appear in your Earth Science budget.
