NASA’s Office of the Chief Technologist seeks to sponsor US citizen and permanent resident
graduate student researchers who show significant potential to contribute to NASA’s goal of
creating innovative new space technologies for our Nation’s science, exploration and
economic future. This call for graduate student fellowship applications solicits applications
from individuals pursuing or planning to pursue master’s (e.g., M.S.) or doctoral (e.g.,
Ph.D.) degrees in relevant space technology disciplines at accredited US universities.
The goal of NSTRF is to provide the Nation with a pipeline of highly skilled researchers and
technologists to improve America's technological competitiveness. NASA Space Technology
Fellows will perform innovative space technology research while building the skills necessary
to become future technological leaders. Selected candidates will perform graduate student
research at their respective campuses and at NASA Centers and/or at nonprofit U.S.
Research and Development (R&D) laboratories. In addition to his or her faculty advisor,
each student will be matched with a technically relevant and community engaged researcher
who will serve as the student’s professional mentor. Through this experience, students will
6
advance their STEM education, gain relevant research experience, and enhance their
understanding of the research process.
Awards resulting from this competitive selection will be made in the form of training grants
to accredited US universities. The financial and programmatic support for NSTRF comes
from the Space Technology Program within NASA’s Office of the Chief Technologist. The
fellowships are a component of the Space Technology Research Grants Program. Awards are
