MUREP MIRO
NASA Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Institutional Research Opportunity (IRO) (MIRO) was established to strengthen and develop the research capacity and infrastructure of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in areas of strategic importance and value to NASA’s mission and national priorities.
About
MIRO was established to strengthen and develop the research capacity and infrastructure of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in areas of strategic importance and value to NASA’s mission and national priorities. Overall, MIRO awards promote STEM literacy and enhance and sustain the capability of institutions to perform NASA-related research and education, which directly supports NASA’s mission directorates—Aeronautics, Exploration Systems, Science, Space Operations, and Space Technology.
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.
