The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is offering a funding opportunity through the MUREP Earth System Science Research (MUREP ESSR) program, aimed at establishing research institutes led by Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to advance Earth Science research. Proposals must align with one of the seven designated Science Research Case Concepts and demonstrate a clear connection to NASA Earth science data, including satellite remote sensing data and other relevant sources, while adhering to NASA's Open Science Management Plan guidelines. This initiative is crucial for fostering a diverse STEM workforce and addressing environmental challenges through innovative research and education. The total estimated funding for this program is $9 million, with individual awards ranging from $0 to $1.2 million, and proposals are due by October 30, 2024.
