MUREP DEAP
MUREP DEAP Institutes, led by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominately Black Institutions (PBIs) are established to accelerate discovery in various NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) domains through collaborative, data intensive approaches and co-designed programs that implement NASA open science principles and architecture to address critical national challenges.
Impact & Benefits
Robotics
NASA uses robots and robotic technology to explore other planets and objects in our solar system, assist astronauts on the Space Station, study the universe, and much more. Right now there are NASA robots are millions of miles away helping us better understand what’s out there.
Goal 1: Conduct data science research and capacity building initiatives co-designed and facilitated by MUREP and SMD.
Objective 1.1: Develop the research capacity and infrastructure of HBCU/PBIs to address Data Science strategic areas of importance and value to NASA’s mission and national priorities.
Objective 1.2: Facilitate a broad impact base of research collaborations amongst HBCU/PBIs for developing and sharing skill development in Data Science.
Objective 1.3: Promote additional opportunities for continuous learning through collaboration in producing tutorials and participating in peer learning experiences in data analytics, computing, software development and data management, and finding innovative ways for students to be trained in Data Science.
How to Apply
The NASA Research Announcement (NRA), entitled Engagement Opportunities in NASA STEM or EONS, solicits education opportunities in support of NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project or MUREP. Proposals will be competitively solicited 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.
