The NASA Fellowship Activity is designed to support NASA STEM Engagement objectives. This activity provides financial awards to institutions to support development and training of graduate researchers.  An institution may submit proposals on behalf of multiple candidates; however, each individual candidate is permitted to have only one proposal submitted on his or her behalf. The candidate and the faculty adviser shall connect with the NASA Technical Adviser in advance to secure a letter of support. The institution’s candidate will independently conceive a research hypothesis or an engineering design project concept in response to one of the NASA graduate research opportunities listed in the NOFO (See Appendix E for NASA Research Opportunities). The institution’s candidate, guided by a Faculty Adviser, shall develop a proposal in collaboration with the NASA Technical Adviser in order to assure institutional capability and capacity, ensure relevance to Mission Directorate priorities, and secure NASA’s technical support for use of its unique facilities, content and/or subject matter experts. The institution shall submit the proposal on behalf of a graduate student. If a NASA research training grant is awarded, the Faculty Adviser shall serve as the Principal Investigator (PI) under the awarded grant.
