NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement’s Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) is seeking proposals from Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to strengthen and develop research capacity and infrastructure through the MUREP Space Technology Artemis Research funding opportunity (M-STAR). This initiative supports NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate and seeks to expand and foster MSI participation in research and technology development aligned with the requirements of future NASA missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. M-STAR offers MSIs, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, up to $300,000 per year for 3 years; up to $900,000 over the period of performance.  Full proposal and virtual information session details can be found here. The M-STAR 2023 solicitation is live, closing April 10th  

Below are the latest updates on NASA opportunities for HBCUs and Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) community from NASA’s MSI Engagement Team.  If you would like to invite your colleagues to receive this newsletter, encourage them to register here.
