The NASA Group 4 University Research Centers (URC) grant, part of the Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP), aims to establish multi-disciplinary research centers at Minority Institutions. These centers will focus on NASA-related research to promote aerospace science and technology concepts, increase participation from underrepresented students, and support advanced degrees in NASA-related fields. Eligible institutions include Historically Black Colleges or Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Minority Serving Institutions. The grant requires alignment with NASA Mission Directorates and provides funding through cooperative agreements. Proposals must be submitted with a Notice of Intent and the solicitation details are available on the NSPIRES website. The closing date for submissions is June 30, 2008.

| Description: | The NASA Office of Education, Integration Division, Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP) anticipates the release of a solicitation for proposals for the NASA Group 4 University Research Centers (URC). This solicitation is in cooperation with NASAs four Mission Directorates Aeronautics Research, Exploration Systems, Science, and Space Operations and NASAs ten Field Centers. Each University Research Center (URC) is expected to be a multi-disciplinary scientific, engineering and/or commercial research center designed to provide a broad-based, competitive NASA-related research capability among the Nations Minority Institutions, foster new aerospace science and technology concepts, provide mechanisms for expanded participation by faculty and students of Minority Institutions in mainstream research, and increase the number of underrepresented and underserved U.S. students obtaining advanced degrees in NASA-related fields and entering the aerospace workforce. All institutions designated by the Department of Education as a Historically Black College or University, Hispanic Serving Institution, or Minority Serving Institution are eligible to apply for this cooperative agreement funding opportunity. Each URC is to identify, in its notice of intent and proposal, the primary NASA Mission Directorate towards which the URC research activities will be directed. NASA research priorities are defined by the Mission DirectoratesAeronautics Research, Exploration Systems, Science, and Space Operations. Each Mission Directorate covers a major area of the Agencys research and technology development efforts. General information about NASA research priorities and current NASA research solicitations can be found on NASAs solicitation and proposal online database, NSPIRES, at http://nspires.nasaprs.com (select Solicitations and then Open Solicitations) and Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/search/agency.doc (click on National Aeronautics and Space Administration). A Notice of Intent (NOI) is required for submission of proposals to this solicitation. Successful proposals will be funded as cooperative agreements. The solicitation will be made available on the NSPIRES website.
