Technical Development:
2021 Funding Opportunity for KISS-Related Space Topics Solicitation
Donors supporting space science and engineering at Caltech have made it possible to solicit opportunities through the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) to fund 1-2 grants totaling approximately $200k (direct cost) to carry out technical development efforts that meet the following criteria:
- funding is designated for efforts on Campus with Campus personnel that support innovative approaches for space exploration, and
- topic area must be related to a KISS study.
