Curriculum Development

The ISGC requests proposals which will support the development of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) related curricula aligned with NASA Mission Directorates as outlined above, with a focus on improving student skills.

Base Programs

Competitions have been completed at the ISGC Core Institutions (CI): Drake University, Iowa State, Iowa and Northern Iowa.

These grants from the ISGC provide support to faculty that help accomplish the NASA and ISGC mission by supporting research and engineering projects that align with (1) the NASA Mission Directorate research priorities as well as (2) each core institution’s strategic plan and unique capacity. The ISGC base programs support the development of competitive, self-sustaining research programs at each of the four CIs, with active and innovative research. Student involvement provided the opportunity to engage in authentic hands-on research and engineering lab experiences. The intent of this program is to support student recruitment and retention efforts in the STEM fields, and encourage involvement of women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities.
