NASA's Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, will continue its collaboration with the National Center for Microgravity Research on Fluids and Combustion (NCMR), Cleveland, by issuing a cooperative agreement for research and educational programs.
The 5-year cooperative agreement, valued at $27 million, covers the period July 1, 2002 through July 1, 2007.
NCMR's primary program emphasis is to perform and/or facilitate fundamental research in fluids and combustion and critical path research in support of the nation's space program. The NCMR's program consists of four key elements: fundamental research; support to NASA's research programs; support to NASA's technology programs; and outreach and education. New emphasis will be placed on understanding how fluids and chemical processes influence fundamental biological phenomena, particularly in the reduced gravity environment.
The agreement extends a formal, long-term partnership between Glenn and NCMR, a research organization managed by Universities Space Research Association, Columbia, Md and Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland. Established in 1997, NCMR is located at Glenn and at Case Western Reserve University.
