The Florida Space Grant Consortium has released its 1997 Requests for Proposals. Please alert your faculty. RFPs may be obtained from the ORTGE Program Information Office, 256 Grinter Hall, 392-4804, proginf@nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu, or from the Consortium’s WWW Homepage: http://www.astro.ufl.edu/~fsgc/
The Consortium is seeking proposals for the following programs:
- Undergraduate Space Research Program – Deadlines:
- January 13, 1997, for faculty mentor proposals;
- February 21, 1997, for student proposals;
- Student Experiment Development Program – Deadline: January 22, 1997 (this is a new program);
- Florida Space Research Program – Deadline: January 24, 1997;
- Space Grant Fellowship Program – Deadline: January 31, 1997, for nominations to ORTGE, 223 Grinter Hall, for screening and selection of four UF nominees.
Cost-sharing/Matching Funds:
Both the Undergraduate Space Research Program and the new Student Experiment Development Program require dollar-for-dollar cash matching. The Florida Space Research Program requires cash or in-kind matching. Proposals submitted to these programs MUST show the source of the matching funds: department, college, industry, other.
ORTGE will not provide any matching funds for these programs. While the Space Grant Fellowship Program does not require matching, 10% of the evaluation will take into consideration the amount of matching provided.
