The new Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Bridge Seed Funding Program Element of ROSES-2023 (F.23) (Short URL: https://go.nasa.gov/applybpsf) solicits proposals to provide support for faculty investigators and their students at under-resourced institutions (URIs) to carry out NASA-relevant research. Through the BPSF program, SMD aims to facilitate new and expand ongoing partnerships between students and faculty at URIs and researchers at NASA Centers that could be expected to grow into Bridge partnerships and become well-positioned to submit a proposal to the future SMD Bridge Program opportunity in ROSES-2023.
