Description

The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium's Higher Education Incentives program supports value-added, undergraduate teaching and training projects in aviation, space, or aerospace disciplines. As a seed-grant program, HEI funds innovative projects that increase the aviation, space, and aerospace content of undergraduate courses and programs. Proposed projects should emphasize aviation, space sciences, aerospace engineering, or other space-related or interdisciplinary STEM fields; be designed for undergraduate education/training, with a focus on curriculum development and faculty enhancement; and align with at least one NASA Mission Directorate. Applicants must be faculty or staff at a WSGC affiliate institution (industry, nonprofits, and nonmembers may collaborate if work occurs at a member campus). They must ensure graduate students funded are U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals. They must also have institutional affiliate award agreements on file with WSGC. Applicants must submit a Proposal that includes the Introduction or Summary; Background (include prior HEI awards if applicable); Proposed Activities (audience, methods, outcomes, dissemination plan); Evaluation Plan; Timeline and Milestones; and Budget or Use of Funds with quarterly spend-down plan. The Spring or Summer 2026 application opens on September 1, 2025 and closes on October 13, 2025. The 2026-2027 application opens on November 1, 2025 and closes on February 2, 2026.
