This program supports training and development of students and faculty in STEM at targeted colleges and universities, and provides opportunities for research and education to inspire and prepare increasing numbers of students for STEM careers.

The goals of this program include:

1) Expand the nation's base for aerospace research and development by fostering new aerospace research and technology development concepts aligned with NASA research priorities as defined by NASA Mission Directorates;
2) Promote institutional advancement and enhanced research capacity through partnerships among MSIs, other academic institutions, NASA research assets, and industry;
3) Strengthen participation of faculty, researchers, and students at MSIs in the research programs of NASA's Mission Directorates;
4) Facilitate mechanisms to insure the diversity of workers at NASA and in undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded to students from MSIs in NASA-related fields reflects the diversity of our nation.

At minimum, the proposal shall include each of the following partners: ​at least one four-year institution of higher education (in addition to the proposing institution), especially one that would provide mentoring in establishing a stronger research environment. Proposers are strongly encouraged to partner with two-year institutions of higher education, including those from which the lead institution receives a significant number of transfer students; and at least one NASA Center. The maximum award is $3M for three years.
