The SC Space Grant Consortium (SCSCG) is pleased to announce the release
of the SCSGC and SC NASA EPSCoR Research and Education Awards Program
(REAP) for faculty.

There are 5 subprograms from which faculty researchers may choose: 

THE RESEARCH GRANT AWARD SUBPROGRAM is intended to provide faculty
members with funds to conduct a one-year research project (with the
possibility of renewal for one additional year) in support of one of
NASA's Mission Directorates in earth science, space science,
aeronautics, and the human exploration and development of space. Up to
five awards will be made ($30,000 maximum per award, not including
matching funds)  For a project to be truly competitive, a researcher
should have a direct partnership with a NASA facility, lab or center.  
    
THE RESEARCH FACILITATION/INITIATION AWARD SUBPROGRAM is intended to
provide faculty members with research support for aerospace-related
activities, such as (but not limited to) initiating a research project,
enhancing an existing research activity, supporting a graduate student
to join a faculty member at a field center for part of a summer term,
developing a new research project among scientists at several SCSGC
campuses, or providing faculty summer support at facilities not covered
by existing programs. ($8,000 maximum per award, not including matching
funds). 

The EDUCATION RESEARCH AWARD is intended to provide faculty members with
research support for science, technology, engineering or mathematics
(STEM)-related activities, such as (but not limited to) initiating an
education research project, enhancing an existing education research
activity, supporting a graduate student to join a faculty member at a
field center for part of a summer term to help with the education
research project, developing a new education research project among
scientists at several SCSGC campuses, or providing faculty summer
support at facilities not covered by existing programs. ($8,000 maximum
per award, not including matching funds). 

THE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AWARD SUBPROGRAM will provide funds for
faculty members to develop coursework or education materials related to
the fields of science and engineering. ($4,000 maximum per award, not
including matching funds). 

TRAVEL AWARD SUBPROGRAM will provide funds for faculty members and
students to make short trips to visit federal facilities (especially
NASA facilities), to meet with international groups or other Space Grant
campuses and to a lesser extent to present results at professional
meetings. Proposals that are submitted to this program must demonstrate
the need for, and expected benefit to, the research/training of the
applicant ($2,000 maximum per award, not including matching funds). 

Letters of intent (LOI) for the research grant subprogram are due in the
SCSGC main office no later than November 1, 2007. Deadline for receipt
of the original proposal (with all signatures) including two hard
copies, as well as a FULL ELECTRONIC VERSION, to the main Space Grant
office is December 14, 2007.

LATE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!

If you have any questions, please contact me at 843-953-5463 or by email
at scozzarot at cofc.edu.

Thanks,

The South Carolina Space Grant Consortium is pleased to announce our
2008/09 student SC Space Grant Consortium student funding opportunities!
We are offering five programs: the Undergraduate Research Award, the
Kathy Sullivan Science and Engineering Fellowship Program, the NASA
Center Stipend Program, the Pre-Service Teacher Scholarship and the
Graduate Fellowship Award.   Please note that the deadlines for our
programs are before Christmas break, rather  than in January or February
as in the past. 

The Graduate Student Fellowship Research Program - SC Space Grant will
award up to 3 graduate fellowships of $10,000 plus an institutional
match of up to $10,000 each.    Graduate students must submit a research
proposal for a NASA-related project to be conducted over a 12 month
period.  These are due to me in my office on or before Friday, December
14, 2007. 

The Undergraduate Research Program - SC Space Grant will award up to 10
undergraduate awards for $5,000 for either summer or academic year NASA
-related research project conducted over a 10 week period.  Applications
are due in my office on or before Friday, December 14, 2007.

The Kathryn Sullivan Science and Engineering Fellowship program awards
one $7,000 fellowship every year to one exceptional undergraduate
student.  Applications are due in my office on or before Friday,
December 14, 2007.

Pre-Service Teacher Award is a $3,000 scholarship available to graduate
and undergraduate students interested in becoming a middle or
high-school science, technology, engineering or mathematics teacher.
Funds may be used for such expenses as:  1) reducing tuition burden; 2)
covering travel and registration expenses for attending professional
development workshops and training opportunities in STEM; 3) purchasing
supplies for student teaching activities; or 4) other supportive
activities that lead to the successful professional development and
eventual graduation of the pre-service educator in SC.  Applications are
due in my office on or before Friday, December 14, 2007.

The NASA Center Internship Program will assist students in attending a
pre-existing NASA program (such as NASA Academy or USRP) or an
internship created specifically for a student at a NASA Center.  This
program has no deadline and students may apply to us for funding for any
program at the same time they apply for acceptance into their chosen
program.   You will have to complete the NASA program application as per
their instructions.

Please forward these to all interested parties.  The applications are
available to download from our webpage.
