The
Harriett G. Jenkins Predoctoral Fellowship Program (JPFP)
increases the number of women, minorities, and
persons with disabilities participating in the
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM) workforce, thereby helping to eliminate the
shortage of skilled workers in STEM-related disciplines.
Sponsored by NASA, the JPFP facilitates the
development of a more inclusive, multi-cultural and sustainable workforce
by providing access and opportunity to underrepresented students who want
to earn advanced degrees. To date, 121 graduate students representing
over 50 institutions have participated in the JPFP. Annually,
approximately 20 three-year fellowships are awarded to support graduate
students in their pursuit of advanced degrees in the STEM disciplines.
Annual stipends for students pursuing master’s degrees start at
$16,000. Annual stipends for students pursuing doctoral degrees start at
$22,000.With stipends, travel allowances and tuition
offsets included, JPFP award packages currently
start at $24,500 per year.

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.
