The goal of this program is to increase the participation of minorities in NASA related research and "Science for
the Nation s Interest". Collaborative research projects will be developed involving NASA-MSFC, National Space
Science and Technology Center (NSSTC), other government agencies, industries and minority serving institutions (MSIs). The
primary focus for the MSIs will be on Alabama A&M University and Tuskegee University, which are in partnership with
the NSSTC. These schools have excellent Ph.D. programs in physics and materials science and engineering, respectively. The
first phase of this program will be carried out at Alabama A&M University in the "Research and Development
Office" in collaboration with Dr. Dorothy Huston, Vice President of Research and Development. The development
assignment will be carried out at the NSSTC with Sandy Coleman/ RS01 and this will primarily involve working with
Tuskegee University.A portion of the program will be devoted to identifying and contacting potential funding sources for use
in establishing collaborative research projects between NASA-MSFC, other government agencies, NSSTC, industries, and
MSIs. These potential funding sources include the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institute of Health (NIH),
Department of Defense (DOD), Army, Navy, and Air Force. Collaborative research projects will be written mostly in the
following research areas: a. Cosmic radiation shielding materials b. Advanced propulsion material c. Biomedical materials and
biosensors d. In situ resource utilization e. Photonics for NASA applications
