Description
Through
this Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology
(FINESST) solicitation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) solicits proposals from accredited
U.S. universities and other eligible organizations for graduate
student-designed and performed research projects that contribute to SMD's
science, technology and exploration goals. This call solicits proposals
for a research project conducted by an individual Future Investigator (FI) who
is or will be pursuing a Masters or PhD degree in an Earth or space
sciences-related discipline from an accredited U.S.
university.
A
key criterion for proposal evaluation (See Section 5) and selection is the
relevance of the proposed investigation to the Science Mission Directorate
(SMD). Information on NASA's Strategic Goals and Objectives and SMD’s
high-level objectives is in 2018 NASA Strategic Plan. Detailed plans/objectives
that correspond to the science divisions of SMD: Heliophysics, Earth Science, Planetary Science, and
Astrophysics appear in Chapter 4 of the 2014 NASA Science Plan. All FINESST
proposals must address one or more goal(s) and objective(s) relevant to at least
one SMD division. The proposal must present a well-defined research
problem/activity and a justification of its scientific significance to NASA, as
well as a detailed approach for its solution/conduct. Proposals should explain
how the research is relevant to the particular SMD division that will review the
proposal.
