NASA MITTIC Competition Overview

NASA MITTIC Eligibility Requirements

• All team members must be 18 or older and U.S. citizens.

• Each team must have three to ten members that are full-time undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in an

accredited U.S. institution of higher learning (junior college, community college, college, or university) at the time the

proposal is submitted.

• At least 60% of the team must be enrolled at a Minority Serving Institution (MSI).

• Each team is required to have a primary principal investigator (PI) who actively works for the proposing MSI. A principal

investigator could be a previous or current professor, a dean or department chair, or another faculty member and/or

administrator.

• Teams may choose to combine with another MSI or a non-MSI. The “core team institution” is the MSI of which the

primary PI is employed, meaning when the monetary incentive is given, it is given to that PI and/or institution. The PIs

will decide on if they choose to split funds with other institutions on their team after the award is received (MITTIC will not

be part of this process).

• Institutions can submit multiple proposals; however, a PI cannot sponsor more than 3 teams. Teams must have different

student members and a different IP. An entire class of students can form multiple teams.
