Opportunity Information: Apply for NNH22ZHA002C
The FY 2022 NASA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Suborbital Flight Opportunity is a discretionary NASA funding competition (Funding Opportunity Number NNH22ZHA002C) designed to help build and strengthen NASA-relevant research capacity in eligible EPSCoR jurisdictions through suborbital flight-related projects. NASA plans to make a small number of awards (expected: 4) as cooperative agreements, with each award capped at up to $250,000 total over a 36-month period, contingent on the availability of appropriated funds. The opportunity sits under NASA's education-related funding activity category (CFDA 43.008) and is structured to support hands-on, mission-aligned research and capability-building connected to suborbital flight activities.
The core purpose of the solicitation is capacity development rather than simply funding standalone research. The stated objectives focus on four major outcomes: first, increasing research capability in EPSCoR jurisdictions in areas that matter strategically to NASA's mission; second, improving each jurisdiction's ability to attract additional, non-EPSCoR support in the future (in other words, helping teams become more competitive for other federal, industry, or NASA opportunities); third, creating and strengthening partnerships that connect NASA research assets with universities and industry; and fourth, contributing to broader research infrastructure improvements and science and technology capability at higher-education institutions in ways that also support economic development within the jurisdiction. In practice, that means NASA is looking for proposals that not only conduct useful work, but also leave behind stronger people, facilities, collaborations, and proposal competitiveness after the project ends.
Eligibility is narrow and is set by statute (Public Law 102-588). Proposals can only be submitted by the NASA EPSCoR Directors (not individual faculty submitting independently) at the designated lead institutions in each participating jurisdiction. Each eligible jurisdiction is allowed to submit one proposal to this solicitation, which effectively makes the competition both national and internal: universities and teams within a jurisdiction typically need to coordinate through their EPSCoR Director to assemble and prioritize a single submission. The jurisdictions listed as eligible to apply under this specific opportunity are: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Guam, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, U.S. Virgin Islands, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a NASA-issued cooperative agreement opportunity, which usually implies substantial involvement by NASA during the period of performance compared with a standard grant. The eligible applicant type is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the EPSCoR model of channeling funds through jurisdictional lead institutions. The solicitation was posted on January 18, 2022, with an original closing date of April 15, 2022. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted mechanism for EPSCoR jurisdictions to gain access to suborbital flight-related research experiences and partnerships that advance NASA-aligned work while building lasting institutional and regional research strength.Apply for NNH22ZHA002C
