NASA Research Opportunities
Supporting research in science and technology is an important part of NASA's overall mission.
NASA solicits this research through the release of various research announcements in a wide range of science and technology disciplines.
NASA uses a peer review process to evaluate and select research proposals submitted in response to these research announcements.
Researchers can help NASA achieve national research objectives by submitting research proposals and conducting awarded research.
This site facilitates the search for NASA research opportunities.
Search for and view open, closed, past, and future NASA research announcements. The full text of the solicitation announcements can be viewed and downloaded.
Solicitations and selected proposals for years prior to NSPIRES implementation, January 1, 2005, were posted manually; therefore, some postings for years 2000-2004 may not be as complete as those posted through the NSPIRES system from 2005 to the present.
Getting Started
To submit a research proposal to NASA, individuals and the organizations with which they are affiliated must be registered in NSPIRES. Individuals may register at any time.
Organizations are required to have a valid registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) before they can register in NSPIRES. See Registration Information for more details on user and organization registration.
