gov/astrobiology NASA supports research that leads to a better understanding of how life emerged and evolved on Earth, what conditions make any environment in our universe capable of supporting life, and what is the potential distribution of habitable worlds and life itself beyond Earth.
Within the NASA Science Mission Directorate there are many Research and Analysis programs that solicit proposals from the research community that include astrobiology research. Results from these programs guide our strategy , inform our missions, and continue the quest to answer these fundamental questions: How does life begin and evolve? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe?
What is the future of life on Earth and beyond? The NASA Astrobiology Strategy The 2015 Astrobiology Strategy identifies questions to guide and inspire astrobiology research.

NASA says ROSES-27 will be out no later than January 2027 with about 50 program elements, after ROSES-2026 never appeared. On October 27, nine organizations including AAS, AGU, APS, AAU and APLU asked NASA to rescind Amendment 59's political-review, termination-for-convenience and low-indirect-rate preference language. Here is what is still open under ROSES-25 and how to plan.
Read articleNASA posted the FY2027 EPSCoR Basic Research CAN (NNH27ZHA001C) on October 30, 2026: about $21 million for 28 three-year awards of roughly $750,000, two proposals per jurisdiction, 50% cost share, and a February 1, 2027 deadline. Here's what the months-long delay changed, who can still get in, and how proposals are scored.
Read articleSTRI26 offers $13 million over five years to a single multi-university team, requires a minimum of three U.S. institutions of higher education, and gates everything behind a mandatory preliminary proposal due November 3, 2026. Here is what a one-award competition actually asks of you.
