Due to a reduction in the NASA Space Grant budget implemented by NASA Headquarters in November of 2004, the Iowa Space Grant Consortium (ISGC) will suspend the research SEED and COOP grants program, indefinitely. Investigators are encouraged to seek ways to align with the various base programs at each campus:
Our scholarship/fellowship program pays up to $6,000 a year for undergraduates and graduates to work on projects or in other roles associated with the base programs. During Program Year 18 (1 Apr 2007 - 31 Mar 2008) 26 awards were given across Iowa.
