Description
EPSCoR Research Seed is administered by the NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium through its NASA WV EPSCoR program. It supports faculty members at West Virginia colleges and universities in initiating research activities, conducting pilot experiments, and demonstrating new concepts that could lead to significant future projects. The program contributes to the consortium’s broader mission of building research infrastructure in West Virginia.
The opportunity focuses on early research and concept development, with NASA mission priorities connecting individual projects to the program’s purpose. Each proposal must identify and align with at least one NASA Mission Directorate and clearly describe the project’s goals, objectives, and methodology.
