October 04, 2016
NASA’s Michigan Space Grants Consortium (MSGC) has just announced the next round of request for proposals for Seed Grants, Program Grants, and Undergraduate/Graduate Student Fellowships for the 2017-2018 year for funds totaling about $300,000.
For over 2 decades, GVSU faculty and students have consistently obtained MSGC fellowships and grants enriching the scholarship and education experience of GVSU students and faculty. Last year, GVSU brought in about $40,000 that provided fellowships for four undergraduate and two graduate students, seed grants for three faculty members and a K-12 science training and outreach program grant for one other faculty member.
Those who wish to apply should contact Bopi Biddanda by October 14th to discuss a proposal/application: [email protected] or (616) 331-3978. She is available to discuss ideas and issues concerning submission of a proposal, and can guide you to other sources of help at GVSU.
We would also like to congratulate the two Grand Valley students who received graduate fellowships this year to continue their research performed at the Annis Water Resources Institute, Emily Kindervator and Nick Gezon. Emily Kindervator will be working with mentor Al Steinman and Nick Gezon will be working with mentor Kevin Strychar. Congratulations!
