Unleash the Power of Collaboration: NASA's COMPASS Initiative
Are you ready to embark on a journey that will shape the future of STEM education and research? NASA's Amendment 36 introduces the Collaborative Opportunities for Mentorship, Partnership and Academic Success in Science (COMPASS) program, a groundbreaking initiative designed to revolutionize collaboration between NASA Centers and academic institutions.
The COMPASS Vision:
COMPASS aims to unlock the full potential of scientific collaboration by funding partnerships that advance NASA's scientific priorities and nurture the next generation of STEM talent. But here's the game-changer: it prioritizes collaborations with academic institutions that have traditionally been overlooked, ensuring a diverse and inclusive approach to research.
Priorities and Impact:
- NASA and Administration Priorities: COMPASS aligns with NASA's and the Administration's research goals, focusing on cutting-edge scientific advancements.
- Broadening Horizons: By providing funding to a wide range of recipients, COMPASS breaks the mold of traditional funding practices, fostering innovation and diversity in STEM.
- Building the STEM Workforce: COMPASS creates undergraduate and graduate student research opportunities, offering professional development and mentorship to build a robust STEM workforce in the United States.
ROSES-2025 Amendment 36:
This amendment introduces COMPASS as a new program element within the ROSES-2025 initiative. The process is straightforward: no Notices of Intent are required, and proposals are due by March 20, 2026. Stay tuned, as this amendment will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage soon.
