NASA EPSCoR R3 Proposals —

Starting with the 2025 Cycle, submission to NASA’s Rapid Research Response (R3) program will no longer be managed by the LA NASA EPSCoR Office. Instead, the limited submission down-select and submission will be handled locally by each proposing institution. Relevant related information (such as the NOFO) will be posted to LA NASA R3 Page when released by NASA.

Contact

Questions regarding RAP, TAP, & FF+SURF solicitations should be directed to the program management office at laspace@lsu.edu; questions regarding the 3-year NASA EPSCoR Basic Research NOFO should be directed to the LA Board of Regents at jessica.patton@laregents.edu. 

Submissions

Proposals for RAP & TAP programs should be submitted as unlocked, fully searchable PDF documents to the following email address: laspace@lsu.edu.  Electronic submissions must include scanned signatures.

Proposals for the NASA EPSCoR 3yr Basic Research are submitted directly to the BoR. See the RFP for complete instructions when the program is open.
