As with all other Louisiana NASA EPSCoR programs, this R3 opportunity will be managed by the Louisiana Board of Regents and the Louisiana NASA Space Grant / EPSCoR office. Proposals selected through the pre-proposal process described here will be submitted to NASA through the Louisiana Board of Regents with the Louisiana NASA EPSCoR Director, Dr. T. Gregory Guzik, as the Principal Investigator. The Louisiana Board of Regents will issue Subawards to projects selected by NASA for award.
The NASA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Rapid Response Research (R3) program is a collaborative effort between NASA EPSCoR in collaboration with the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD), Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Planetary Science Division, Biological and Physical Sciences Division, Astrophysics Division (APD), Computational and Information Sciences and Technology Office (CISTO), Earth Science Division (ESD), and the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD) Commercial Space Capabilities Office (CSCO), along with the Marshall Spaceflight Center (MSFC), Ames Research Center(ARC),and the Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer (OCHMO). The goals of R3 are to provide a streamlined method to address research issues important to NASA, and to enable NASA EPSCoR researchers to work with NASA to solve research issues impacting the Agency’s programs/missions.
