NASA EPSCoR Travel Grant Awards, each averaging $1,500, are for faculty and/ or students to spend up to three days at a NASA Center visiting with scientists.

The Library is now taking information for the Digital Repository. Contact Philip Fitzsimmons. Proposal Development Tip of the Month In addition to conducting the usual literature review during the project development process, you should also review abstracts of recently funded projects in your project/research area. The abstracts often offer hints about what an agency is currently interested in funding as well as research trends in your field. Moreover, it is essential to know what has been awarded so that you can properly distinguish your project from others that have recently received funding. Perhaps the worst (preventable) comment one might receive from a reviewer is, Professor X at ABC University recently received a grant for a similar project, and we cannot recommend an award for what appears to be a duplicative project. Many federal agencies (and some state/private agencies) have Internet-based searchable databases containing the abstracts of recently-funded projects. You can usually search by keyword, competition, principal investigator (PI), institution and year of award. Links to the major federal agencies databases are listed below.
