Opportunity Summary:
The FY2010 National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FY2010SPACEGRANT) is a discretionary NASA grant solicitation run through NASA Headquarters, Office of Education, located at 300 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20546-0001. Through this program, NASA sought proposals to support the work of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (commonly called "Space Grant"), a long-running education and workforce development initiative designed to strengthen the nation s capacity in space and aeronautics. The core expectation for funded proposals was that they would measurably increase the understanding, assessment, development, and utilization of space and aeronautics resources, with an emphasis on translating university-based expertise and infrastructure into practical benefits for aerospace and related fields.
A central theme of the solicitation is partnership building. NASA framed Space Grant as a mechanism to encourage cooperation among universities and a wide set of external stakeholders, including federal, state, and local governments as well as the aerospace industry. In practice, that means proposals were expected to support consortia-based activities that connect academic programs to real-world aerospace needs, expand education and research capacity, and help develop the pipeline of students and professionals prepared for NASA and the broader aerospace workforce. The funding activity category is Education, reflecting the program s focus on student opportunities, fellowships, scholarships, hands-on learning, and other capacity-building efforts that strengthen aerospace education ecosystems at the state and regional level.
Eligibility for this particular solicitation was narrow and tied to the established Space Grant structure. Proposals were accepted only from the lead institution of the Space Grant consortium in each state, plus the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In other words, while the program promotes broad partnerships, only the officially designated lead organizations for each Space Grant consortium were allowed to submit as applicants under this notice. The listing indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees were expected to provide non-federal contributions consistent with Space Grant rules and the terms of the announcement.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, NASA anticipated making about 52 awards, aligning with nationwide consortium coverage. The estimated total funding amount listed for the solicitation was $27,435,000. The opportunity was posted on January 28, 2010, and had a relatively short application window, with an original and current closing date of February 5, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on January 28, 2011. The solicitation was issued under the authority of 42 United States Code 2486d and implemented in accordance with 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1259, including the sections referenced in the notice (1259.202), which govern aspects of NASA financial assistance awards and related requirements.
For applicants and interested parties, NASA provided an electronic full-text announcement via www.education.nasa.gov/spacegrant, and offered direct support contacts. The program point of contact listed is Diane DeTroye, Manager of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, reachable at Diane.d.detroye@nasa.gov. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the notice also referenced NAIS Support at nais.support@nasa.gov.
