Description

The NASA Connecticut Space Grant Consortium Undergraduate Research Grants are available to support and promote undergraduate research with faculty advisors at their institution. Applicants must be students at the time of application and during the entire project period at one of the Consortium Member Institutions with a strong academic record. First-semester students are not eligible to apply as a transcript showing at least one completed semester is required with the application. New applicants will be given priority over recent awardees with all grants. All research must be conducted in person and on-site. Students may be preparing for senior design projects, honors research, or searching for an educational experience, which is consistent with the mission of NASA as exemplified by its Mission Directorates. Students desiring to complete their research in collaboration with local STEM companies should contact the companies in advance and include a letter of support from the partner along with their application. Applicants must submit a Proposal Abstract that includes information relating the proposed project to NASA's Mission Directorates and a Narrative that includes the Purpose and objectives, Relationship to NASA's Mission Directorates, Methodology, Feasibility and timeline (plan) of the project, Expected outcomes, and Career potential. Applicants must also submit two recommendations. One recommendation must come from the research project supervisor.
