Subject: PROPOSAL CALL: NASA¹s Office of Education MUREP solicits proposals
from Minority Serving Community Colleges (MSCCs)
EOAC and ACTs,
I just wanted to make you all aware of a call that went out for MUREP Minority
Serving Community Colleges. This program was previously referred to as the
CIPAIR program, in which AETD participated (Virginia State University/Elizabeth
City State University and NY City College of Techology). The purpose of the
program is to help strengthen the curriculum at these schools in STEM areas.
It's a 3 year program with funding up to $300K each year and often times the
students will be required to complete a NASA internship. The community colleges
are encouraged to partner with 4 year university and colleges and K-12
institutions to create a STEM pipeline. Proposals are due June 11, 2015. Please
forward this on to any Minority Serving institutions you may work with and may
have a link with a local Community College who would benefit from this program.
There is a good chance that we will have university and colleges contacting us
directly to partner with them so I wanted to make you all aware that should
expect to receive solicitations. On the flipside I think it's also a good idea
to be proactive and reach out to institutions we may be interested in working
with and come up with a proposal together to ensure it's of mutual benefit to
both parties. Please let me know if you have any institutions in mind and I
would be happy to reach out to them.
SOLICITATION:
NASA's Office of Education Minority University Research and Education Project
(MUREP) solicits proposals from Minority Serving Community Colleges (MSCCs), as
identified by the US Department of Education and that align with the four White
House Executive Orders for Minority Institutions, to strengthen curriculum and
curricular pathways in STEM, and attract, retain, and support the success of
underrepresented students in STEM degree programs. The MC3I proposals will
contain plans for and be guided by curriculum improvements, and address one of
the following as a primary focus: (1) improving curriculum in STEM vocational
certificate programs, Associate of Arts/Science degree programs, and/or
transfer programs; (2) strengthening and diversifying the STEM pipeline through
high school partnerships; or (3) expanding opportunities in engineering.
Proposers are required to partner with a NASA center or facility, and are
highly encouraged to partner with other institutions, such as K-12 school
districts and 4-year colleges/universities. Successful proposals will be
funded as multi-year cooperative agreements.
In an effort by the NASA Office of Education to create efficiencies, a former
activity, Curriculum Improvement Partnership Award for the Integration of
Research (CIPAIR), was consolidated into MUREP.
Awardees of this FY 2015 solicitation will be designated as NASA MC3I Group 1.
Successful proposals from Group 1 will be funded as multi-year cooperative
agreements. The award period will begin approximately two to three months
after the selection announcement. Funding for each MC3I may not exceed
$300,000/per year for three (3) years.
All information needed to respond to this announcement is contained in this
Appendix, the EONS announcement, NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement
Manual,<https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Grant_and_CooperativeAgreementManual.doc>and
the Guidebook for
Proposers<http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/nraguidebook>Responding to
a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) or Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN)
January 2015 Edition<http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/nraguidebook>
(hereafter referred to as the Guidebook for Proposers or NASA Guidebook for
Proposers). Note: If the information contained in this appendix conflicts with
the Grant and Cooperative Agreement Manual or the Guidebook for Proposers, the
information in this appendix takes precedence.
Institutions planning to prepare a proposal package for NASA MC3I are required
to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to propose. NOIs assist NASA in assessing
the response to this CAN and to determine the expertise required for the
proposal review panel. NOIs should be submitted by the Authorized Organization
Representative (AOR) in the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review
and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) by April 14, 2015, at 11:59 pm Eastern Time.
Interested proposers must register with NSPIRES before it can be accessed for
use.
Since NOIs submitted after the deadline may still be useful to NASA, late NOIs
may be submitted and will be accepted.
Proposals are due on June 11, 2015 by 11:59 pm in NSPIRES.
