MUREP OCEAN
Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) OCEAN was established to increase the involvement of underrepresented minority serving institutions (MSIs) in NASA-funded research and education activities related to ocean sciences.
About
Through MUREP OCEAN, NASA seeks to improve our understanding of the complex processes that govern the behavior of the world’s oceans and their impact on the broader Earth system. This is done by enhancing the capability of institutions to participate in NASA funding opportunities, such as Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) to support the Agency’s advancement of science and to achieve a deep scientific understanding of our planet.
Participating Institutions have access to a range of resources, including funding for research projects, professional development opportunities for faculty and students, and access to NASA data and facilities. MUREP OCEAN also encourages collaboration between institutions and with other NASA-funded researchers to promote interdisciplinary research and enhance the impact of the research findings.
How To Apply
The NASA Research Announcement (NRA), entitled Engagement Opportunities in NASA STEM or EONS, solicits education proposals in support of NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project or MUREP. Proposals will be competitively selected and awarded through the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES).
For a list of planned solicitations, visit the EONS Grant Forecasting webpage. To be notified of award announcements and when the next solicitation opens, proposers should subscribe to NSPIRES.
