NASA EPSCoR RRR Research Topics - Appendix G

In preparation for the release of the 2022 National NASA EPSCoR Rapid Research Response (RRR) solicitation, the National NASA EPSCoR Project Manager has provided an advance copy of Appendix G listing specific research topics. We anticipate that the solicitation will be very similar to last year’s solicitation. Each jurisdiction will only be allowed to submit one proposal per NASA Office/Center, and each must address a different topic. Note: each office/center has multiple research topics.

Funding: Awards are $100K Federal with no match requirement for a one-year period of performance.

Approximate Due Dates:

  • Solicitation release from NASA: November 15, 2021
  • LOI’s due to NSHE: November 30, 2021
  • Decisions on LOIs to proceed to full proposal: December 6, 2021
  • Full proposals to NSHE: January 18, 2022

Interested faculty must communicate with the NASA point-of-contact for the topic area before submitting a LOI.
