Rapid Response Research (R3)
This opportunity is currently closed. We anticipate R3 solicitations to be released in the October/November time frame. Please refer to the “Applications Guidelines” below for procedural details; dates within document notwithstanding.
The R3 is a collaborative effort between EPSCoR and the NASA Mission Directorate programs/offices. The goals of R3 are to provide a streamlined method to address research issues important to NASA, and to enable EPSCoR researchers to work with NASA to solve research issues impacting the Agency’s programs/missions. The proposed research should also contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science, and technology capabilities, higher education, and economic development of New Mexico.
The funding for each award is $100,000 for a one-year period of performance to address a subset of NASA topic areas. Each NASA EPSCoR jurisdiction may submit one proposal per topic area. Topic areas to be announced in October/November 2020.
New Mexico faculty members interested in submitting a proposal must first submit a notice of intent to the NM NASA EPSCoR Office. The lead Science PIs must contact the NASA point of contact to talk about their research ideas before submitting a notice of intent (and before proposal submission). NASA point of contact information will be released in October/November 2020.
