On connections with NASA, one investigation route would be to go to the aero faculty pages of any target school & see what the faculty's research interests and papers look like....a NASA funding source should be visible.
Also, there should be a public record of research funding by NASA. I'd bet a few phone calls could get you pretty close to having a list with professors & subjects, if that's not on the web already. If I find such a thing, I'll let you know....PC
