NASA Fellowship Activity

Each year, the NASA Fellowship Activity awards training grants to Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) using Minority University Research Education Project (MUREP) funds. The NASA Fellowship Activity is designed to support NASA STEM Engagement objectives and to provide academic institutions the ability to enhance graduate-level learning and development. The NASA Fellowship Activity aligns with the Office of STEM Engagement’s goal to establish a well-trained science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.

The NASA Fellowship Activity in partnership with The National GEM Consortium, engages underrepresented and underserved minorities in STEM Graduate Academic programs (Master’s, PhD), and has graduated over 4,000 researchers, professors, and entrepreneurs around the nation. GEM provides highly qualified faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students, in disciplines needed to help advance NASA’s missions, thus affording them the opportunity to directly contribute to advancements in STEM-related areas of study. Fellowship opportunities are focused on innovation and generate measurable research results that contribute to NASA’s current and future science and technology goals.
