Jointly funded by the Florida Space Grant Consortium, and Space Florida with the purpose to support the expansion and diversification of Florida's space industry by increasing statewide academic involvement in space research, engineering, education, and training programs that are consistent with the state's space industry priorities. Grants are intended for faculty researchers from FSGC affiliated universities and colleges. Proposals from non-affiliated Florida universities, colleges, community colleges, and industry will be viewed more favorably if the project involves collaborations with FSGC affiliates.
