The NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) seeks to identify
creative and innovative undergraduates who have shown exceptional
creativity and promise for future success in building visions of the
future. The NIAC Student Fellows Prize (NSFP), sponsored by Universities
Space Research Association and managed by NIAC, was initiated in 2005 to
attract these students and facilitate their work. Individual students or
multidisciplinary groups of students, overseen by a faculty advisor, are
given the opportunity to develop proposals addressing NIAC topics,
adhering to our unique requirements for projects 10-40 years into the
future. The Prize, in the amount of $9,000 dollars, is intended to
foster mentoring, networking, and creativity, and is a student's first
opportunity to exercise responsibility in project management.

The current call for NSFP projects is now available at
http://www.niac.usra.edu/students/call.html . The deadline is midnight
EST April 16, 2007 for funding to commence September 1, 2007 .
