Attend this free hybrid event where NASA will provide best practices and strategies for HBCU and MSI administrators and faculty to pursue capacity-building opportunities. The NASA Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) in collaboration with the Office of Procurement (OP) and the Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) will host a hybrid NASA HBCU/MSI Technology Infusion Road Tour in conjunction with the University of Central Florida (UCF).
HBCU and MSI representatives will learn about OSTEM's Minority Serving Institutions Partnerships & Sustainability Initiative, Agency acquisition opportunities, opportunities within NASA's Mission Directorates, Science Technology Missions Directorate's Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) program, as well as opportunities related to grants, fellowships and contracts.
UCF and select HBCUs and MSIs will showcase their research capabilities. Each day attendees are invited to networking sessions with participating federal government representatives, NASA Center leads and NASA prime contractors to introduce and build relationships in an effort to enhance partnerships and maximize opportunities.
The final day of the event will include technical workshops — catering to those new to NASA partnerships and those who are more seasoned — to assist participants in strengthening their organization's readiness to apply for NASA funding.
