NASA aims to release the newest NOFO for a NASA EPSCoR CAN award in early July 2026.<\/p>\n

Please reference the Winter 2024 – 2025 solicitation and call for ND pre-proposals<\/a>, as this RFP will be similar in scope and requirements. Only one pre-proposal will be selected to move forward from ND for funding consideration from NASA. Awards will be made for 3-year POPs and will be alloted up to $750,000 per award. The ND NASA EPSCoR jurisdiction Director (Dr. Caitlin Milera) will serve as the PI on the ND proposal. Faculty proposers will serve as Sci-Is.<\/p>\n

The ND NASA EPSCoR team will also be seeking reviewers<\/strong> for pre-proposals with a quick-turnaround on review time.<\/p>\n
