To address the needs of faculty and students at under-resourced emerging research institutions (U/ERIs), such as historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), and tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) unveiled the Bridge Program in Fall 2021. This community-NASA co-created program aims to create bridges between faculty and students at U/ERIs and research scientists and engineers at NASA centers and facilities. In Fall 2022, NASA convened a five-day workshop for scientific community members to provide input for the Bridge Program, now called MOSAICS. This session will provide an overview of the program and its guiding principles, updates on current and future funding opportunities, and a networking session for questions and answers.
