  3. Funding and Cost-Sharing Max. level requested is $125K/yr for up to 3 yrs Cost-sharing match of 1:1 is required NASA EPSCoR RID funds cannot be used for: • Equipment • Foreign Travel • Civil Service Personnel Travel

  4. The Purposes of theTechnical Advisory Committee are to: • Advise on jurisdiction research and economic priorities; • Assist in planning research areas that align with state priorities; • Provide technical guidance to the state’s NASA EPSCoR program; and • Review program progress and accomplishments.

  5. Technical Advisory Committee consists of: • the state’s NASA EPSCoR Program Director (Committee Chair) • at least one member of the state’s EPSCoR Committee • at least one representative from the state’s industry • at least one representative from the state’s government, and • one member from at least three affiliates of the state’s NASA Space Grant Program.

  6. 2 USRP Students Supported in 2006 Natika Onyeka, Alabama A&M • Assisted in the development of advanced sensors needed to monitor the structural health of spacecrafts such as the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV). David Parsons, Auburn University • Assisted in establishing a distributed simulation of the integrated Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV) and Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV).
