In anticipation of the upcoming solicitation: “Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Basic Research FY 2026” (solicitation number not yet known), North Dakota NASA EPSCoR is soliciting NOIs and pre-proposals from faculty at affiliate institutions in the state (including NDSU) specifically designed to promote and expand NASA research in North Dakota.

Research must be in STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) and demonstrate alignment with NASA priorities and one or more NASA Mission Directorates.

Following preliminary proposal selection by ND NASA EPSCoR, the selected pre-proposal team(s) will work directly with the ND NASA EPSCoR office to submit a full proposal to NASA via NSPIRES.

Important: These proposals require matching funds / cost-sharing (either cash or in-kind) from non-federal sources. To discuss the possibility of a match for this program, contact ndsu.researchdev@ndsu.edu.

• NOIs due: Aug. 27, 2026, noon
• Pre-proposals due: Sept. 24, 2026, noon
