A new series titled "NASA EPSCoR Presents Virtual Technical Interchange Meetings" is designed to introduce university researchers in the 28 EPSCoR jurisdictions, including Guam, to researchers at NASA. 

These meetings are an opportunity to explore potential collaborative opportunities in alignment with NASA's research priorities and write strong proposals that bring NASA projects to the island. 

 The major objectives of these meetings are to:

• ensure NASA EPSCoR researchers around the country are familiar with the research priorities and active projects at NASA;
• confirm that NASA researchers are familiar with the opportunities NASA EPSCoR funding can offer to their research enterprises;  
• provide a forum for jurisdiction researchers to ask questions regarding potential areas of interest to NASA; and  
• result in high-quality collaborative opportunities for both NASA and EPSCoR jurisdiction researchers. 

The meetings will be held every second and fourth Wednesday of the month (Thursday for Guam) and will focus on different topics for each session. This upcoming meeting will be on astrophysics, with future topics likely being biological sciences and physical sciences.
