Description
The NASA West Virginia EPSCoR Research Seed program supports faculty at West Virginia colleges and universities as they initiate research activities, conduct pilot experiments, or demonstrate concepts that could lead to significant future projects. It is part of the West Virginia Space Grant Consortium’s effort to build research infrastructure and support promising early-stage work.
Projects must align with a NASA Mission Directorate and address research related to NASA’s mission in science, technology, engineering, or math. The program funds faculty establishing support for their research or entering a new research area. Collaboration with NASA researchers is encouraged but not required.
