2025-2026 Higher Education (HE): Curriculum Development (CD) and Hands-on-Training (HOT) Faculty Competition – 02/28/2025 Deadline to apply

The Nevada Space Grant Consortium (NVSGC) seeks to fund eight or more projects for either Curriculum Development or Hands-On-Training. The maximum federal contribution for each project is $25,000.

The total maximum budget amount with match per proposal therefore is $50,000 (maximum $25,000 federal + requisite $25,000 institutional match). The number of awards and funding level are contingent on the availability of funds. We will announce the proposals selected prior to our receipt of next year’s funds. Please note that potential delays in Congressional appropriations and the release of funds may result in late sub-awards. We currently anticipate creating sub-awards during Summer 2024. The proposed project period of performance may start on August 1, 2024 and extend through April 9, 2025 contingent on when the funds are released.
