Apply Now!

The UNCF Special Programs Corporation (UNCFSP) in partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) solicits applications from faculty members at accredited US Postsecondary Minority Institutions for the NASA Astrobiology Institute Minority Institution Research Support (NASA-MIRS) Program.  

The purpose of the NASA-MIRS Program is to address the critical shortage of minority faculty in STEM fields in the United States by providing research opportunities for talented Minority Serving Institution (MSI) faculty to partner with established astrobiology investigators and foster student interest in astrobiology as a career option.

NASA-MIRS incorporates a series of integrated components that expand opportunities for participants through:
a) faculty research experiences,
b) faculty-student research collaborations,
c) professional development training, and
d) information exchanges.

This 10-week experience comes with a $10,000 stipend and an additional $5,000 for travel, lodging, meals and incidentals. 

Please contact Clarence T. Brown at Clarence.brown@uncfsp.org or by phone at 703-205-7641 should you have any technical or programmatic questions.

Application Deadline: March 15, 2012
