Space-technology programme targets early-career researchers
As part of an inaugural space-technology research programme, NASA is seeking grant proposals from early-career scientists. Ten researchers in areas such as communication and navigation systems; materials, structures and mechanical systems; and human health, life support and habitation systems will receive up to US$200,000 per year for up to three years. The programme aims to improve its future space-exploration and discovery capabilities by focusing on early-stage research and seeding innovation, says a NASA spokesperson. Notices of intent to submit are due on 30 March and the deadline for final proposals is 3 May.
