R3 (Rapid Response Research)
The R3 is a collaborative effort between NASA EPSCoR and the NASA Mission Directorate programs and offices. The goals of R3 are to provide a streamlined method to address research issues important to NASA, and to enable NASA EPSCoR researchers to work with NASA to solve research issues impacting the Agency’s programs/missions. Awards are up to $100,000 each for a period of performance not to exceed two years.

R3 Research Projects
WVU engineers address NASA’s problems through artificial intelligence
The content of this research aims to discover the most likely faults and scenarios in a simulated environment before deploying a decision-making system into the real-world. READ MORE »
An AI-based framework for real time RFI detection in radio astronomy data
By developing a new AI based framework for the detection of radio frequency interference (RFI)—the data received by a telescope—the researchers will use a machine learning approach to minimize the probability of detection errors in radio astronomy signals. READ MORE »
WVU engineers address NASA’s problems through artificial intelligence
“The main goal of the project is to propose a software solution that will allow hybrid aerobots to explore the atmosphere of Venus,” Pereira said. “Although hybrid vehicles were proposed before this project, we are not aware if any software has been created.” READ MORE »
Elucidation of stress resilience of sweet potato
“My team and I will perform physiological and biochemical characterization of the sweet potatoes in a simulated Mars-like extraterrestrial environment and evaluate major traits such as development, biomass production, photosynthesis, tuber quality and abiotic stress tolerance,” said Dr. Umesh Reddy, WVSU professor of biology.
