6 Feb | Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST)

NASA

Through FINESST, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) solicits proposals for graduate student-designed and performed research projects that contribute to SMD's science, technology, and exploration goals. The Future Investigator (FI), i.e., the student, shall have the primary initiative to define the proposed FINESST research project and must be the primary author, with input or supervision from the proposal's Principal Investigator (PI), as appropriate. The proposal must present a well-defined research problem/activity and a justification of its scientific significance to NASA, and a detailed approach for its solution/conduct. Proposals should explain how the research is relevant to the SMD division (Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, Astrophysics, and Biological and Physical Sciences) that will review the proposal.
