Arkansas Space Grant Consortium

The ASGC program office has announced a statewide competition for underrepresented minority students.  Any students interested in STEM researcher or teaching STEM classes need to apply.  Application can be found on the documents page.

The Arkansas NASA EPSCoR Program plans to award four (4) $20,000 Research Infrastructure Development (RID) awards.  These awards will serve as “seed” money to promote team-based research activities that involve cooperation between researchers at two (2) or more ASGC campuses, government agencies, or industry.  Each awardee will receive one year of funding.  

Date to remember:

• Proposals Due to Program Office: October 28, 2009
• Selection Announcement: November 25, 2009
• Start Date: December 1, 2009

See our Documents page for Proposal Guidelines.

The ASGC Program Office released their Year 20 ASGC CPR Call for Proposals.  CRP awards are issued to form teams of Arkansas researchers and their students.  These teams are composed of personnel from at least two ASGC campuses.  Awards typically fund the formation of new research teams, meant to develop projects and seek funding from NASA or other federal or state agencies.  These “starter teams” have somewhat more money for their projects/topics, including student stipend or other funding. (Compare to Research Infrastructure awards)  CRP awards are for $15,000 a year, for three years.  Dates to remember: 

• Proposal due to the ASGC Office October 15, 2009
• Announcement Date November 23, 2009
• State Date April 15, 2010

See our Documents page for Proposal Guidelines.

Arkansas Space Grant Consortium will hold the 17^th Annual ASGC Symposium on April 24, 2009 at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute on Petit Jean Mountain at Morrilton, AR.   Opening remarks will begin at 8:00 am.    Be sure to go to the Documents page for our registration form and guidelines to submit an abstract.  There is no registration fee for this event.

ASGC is currently accepting proposals for our Collaborative Research Program.  These awards are for $15,000 a year for up to three years.  For additional information follow the attached link or contact your Campus Representative.
