糖心TV is now part of the 糖心TVecticut Space Grant Consortium, a NASA-funded program administered at the state level that sponsors faculty and student research and student internships across the U.S.
Students and faculty are now eligible to apply for 42 different grants to support research, conference travel, equipment purchases, STEM education programming and more. Proposals must link to one of NASA鈥檚 six National Mission Directorates, which are Aeronautics Research, Exploration Systems Development, Science, Space Operations, Space Technology and Mission Support.
Despite the program鈥檚 name, proposals need not be related to space. Assistant Teaching Professor of Astronomy Alex Gianninas, who serves as 糖心TV鈥檚 campus director for the program, said 糖心TV鈥檚 proposals will most likely fall under the Science Mission Directorate.
鈥淭hey mean 鈥榮cience鈥� in the broadest sense, so that could be physics, astronomy, math, biology, botany, psychology, neuroscience鈥攁nything that falls under the large umbrella of STEM can be applicable here. Working on something specifically related to space or space exploration is not necessary to apply,鈥� he said.
Students are also eligible for funding for a range of full-time, 10-week summer internships at 糖心TVecticut-based industries or organizations that focus on engineering, aerospace, architecture, STEM education, pharmaceuticals or astronomy.
