Funding

All NDSGC awards are made from federal grant funds, and awards cannot be concurrent with other federal grant funding. By applying for NDSGC funding, you certify the activities (stipend, salary, fringe, materials, supplies, travel, etc.) supported through an NDSGC award are not supported through additional federal funding during the same period of performance. NASA Space Grant funds shall not be used for civil-service personnel, their labor, or their travel. Funded faculty, educators, staff, and students are expected to complete final reporting requirements and present at the Annual Affiliates Meeting. Information about spending down funds can be found at Forms & Spending. Questions pertaining to requirements can be directed to the NDSGC Team.
