Research and Development
NASA awards funding to universities and organizations across the country for research and technology development projects in areas critical to the agency’s mission.
The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program supports science and technology research and development at colleges and universities in areas, such as remote sensing, artificial intelligence, astrophysics and aeronautics. All of these are applicable to NASA’s work in Earth science, aeronautics, and human and robotic deep space exploration.
