First Annual PAIR Summit

The NASA Partnership Award for the Integration of Research (PAIR) in the undergraduate curriculum summit will be held from Nov 3 - 6.

Center Director Al Diaz will address attendees of this event, providing outstanding attributes of Goddard and the exciting programs that exist for minority students and faculty.

The PAIR award program falls within NASA's Equal Opportunity Office, Minority University Research and Education Division (MURED). MURED has been established to increase the agency's responsiveness to Federal mandates related to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Universities, including Hispanic Serving Institutions and Tribal Colleges and Universities.

The PAIR award provides an opportunity to build upon minority institution's rich history of educational excellence by creating partnerships between the minority institution's NASA-sponsored researcher and the math, science, engineering and technology (MSET) academic programs, and between the NASA Installations and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), other institutions of higher education and the aerospace community.
