Description
The New York Space Grant Consortium (NYSG) competitively awards Opportunity Grants for NASA-related science, technology, engineering, and mathematics projects across New York State. The program aims to attract, recruit, and train U.S. citizens for aerospace science and technology careers, with particular emphasis on women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities.
Supported activities include faculty collaboration with NASA researchers, mentored student research, modifications or expansion of ADA-accessible laboratory equipment, payload space on launch vehicles, and training or professional development. Highest priority goes to innovative initiatives involving multiple students, regional partnerships, or multi-school collaborations, especially those reaching beyond one campus or community. NYSG values long-term sustainability, measurable outcomes, and projects that can be replicated elsewhere.
