Curriculum Improvement Partnership Award for the Integration of Research into the Undergraduate Curriculum Program

NASA and UNCFSP have established the CIPAIR Program to help Minority Institutions (MIs) develop or augment curricula to enhance research, training, and educational outcomes in NASA-related fields. The CIPAIR integrates two previous programs: Curriculum Improvement Partnership Award (CIPA) and the Partnership Award for the Integration of Research (PAIR). CIPAIR will introduce NASA-related research, interdisciplinary teaching pedagogy, and partnering to small two- and four-year MIs. The CIPAIR offers grants for $400K to $600K to MIs that have received no more than $500K in prior NASA funding in the last 5 years. All proposals must originate from a MI identified on the list of "2006 U.S. Department of Education Accredited Postsecondary Minority Institutions" (http://www. ed.gov). Proposals should clearly identify and link itself to a NASA research area, illustrating where and how its integration is appropriate within the STEM curriculum, how its use will improve the undergraduate educational experience, how these experiences will result in more competitively trained students, and what new skills these students will possess. Partnership Requirements. Four-year institutions must secure a partnership with a two-year MI. Two-year institutions must build a partnership with and secure a Memorandum of Understanding from a NASA Center.
