NASA Fellowship Program Activity
Each year, the NASA Fellowship Program Activity awards training grants to Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) using Minority University Research Education Project (MUREP) funds. The NASA Fellowship Activity is designed to support NASA STEM Engagement objectives and to provide academic institutions the ability to enhance graduate-level learning and development. The NASA Fellowship Activity aligns with the Office of STEM Engagement’s goal to establish a well-trained science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.
The NASA Fellowship Activity in partnership with The National GEM Consortium, engages underrepresented and underserved minorities in STEM Graduate Academic programs (Master’s, PhD), and has graduated over 4,000 researchers, professors, and entrepreneurs around the nation. GEM provides highly qualified faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students, in disciplines needed to help advance NASA’s missions, thus affording them the opportunity to directly contribute to advancements in STEM-related areas of study. Fellowship opportunities are focused on innovation and generate measurable research results that contribute to NASA’s current and future science and technology goals.

NASA History
Since its founding in 1958, NASA has pushed the boundaries of scientific and technical limits to explore the unknown for all the citizens of our planet. Discover the history of our human spaceflight, science, technology, and aeronautics programs.
65 Years and Counting
Forged in response to early Soviet space achievements, NASA was built on the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), as the locus of U.S. civil aerospace research and development. Since October 1, 1958, when NASA opened for business, it has accelerated work on human and robotic spaceflight, and is responsible for scientific and technological achievements that have had widespread impacts on our nation and the world.
