Each year, pending availability of funds, the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences (MCSS) will consider requests for seed grants or meeting/workshop support for promising space-science-related research projects for the subsequent University fiscal year. A call for proposals will be issued to faculty fellows of the Center in advance.
These grants are intended to better position researchers for proposals for external funding.
The request form is currently closed. MCSS will send out a call each year in late fall for new proposals.
