Funder: Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium
Due Dates (Anticipated): February 2027 (Pre-proposal deadline)
Funding Amounts: Up to $750,000 per proposal over 3 years; at least 50% non-federal match
Summary: Supports Wyoming research teams pursuing NASA priorities while building the state’s research capacity.
Key Information: Wyoming may submit only one proposal to the NASA EPSCoR Competitive Research competition.
Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium administers this NASA EPSCoR competition in Wyoming. It seeks research programs that contribute to the strategic research and technology priorities of one or more NASA Mission Directorates while strengthening the jurisdiction’s research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, higher education, and economic development.
Wyoming’s priorities include effective collaboration with NASA scientists and engineers and projects focused on infrastructure-building and economic development in the state. The consortium also prioritizes multi-investigator proposals involving junior faculty and faculty underrepresented in STEM, with the aim of broadening participation in NASA-funded research and helping junior faculty pursue future federal funding.
