Grants Total Some $600,000 Through CIPAIR Project
NASA has awarded grants to four universities and their partner
institutions that serve large numbers of minority and
underrepresented students to strengthen programs in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
The grants total approximately $600,000 and are provided through
NASA's Curriculum Improvement Partnership Award for the Integration
of Research (CIPAIR) project.
Scientists and educators from the academic community, private
industry, the National Science Foundation and NASA selected the
awardees after reviewing proposals. The four institutions and their
partners will receive one-year funding of about $150,000 for up to
three years, based on performance and availability of funds.
The selected institutions and their partners are:
- California State University, San Bernardino, and College of the
Desert in Palm Desert, CA.
- Fond Du Lac Tribal College in Cloquet, MN.
- Rust College in Holly Springs, Miss., and Mid-South Community
College in West Memphis, AR.
- Navajo Technical College in Crownpoint, NM.
These awards continue NASA's commitment of achieving a
broad-based, competitive aerospace research and technology
development capability among the nation's historically black
colleges and universities, tribal colleges and universities, and
Hispanic and other minority-serving institutions. CIPAIR is managed
for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
NASA invests in projects that will build, sustain, and provide a
skilled, knowledgeable and diverse work force to meet the agency
and the country's emerging needs.
