The Minority University Research and Education Project Partnership Annual Notification (MPLAN) connects Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) with NASA Mission Directorates and promotes research collaboration.

 

Funding up to $50,000 per award supports MSI teams to develop innovative ideas and action plans for commercialization. NASA provides expert guidance and resources throughout the program, enabling MSIs to unlock their full potential and deliver technological innovations that contribute to NASA's missions and benefit society.
