MUREP Space Technology Artemis Research (STAR) (M-STAR) was created to strengthen the research capacity of MSIs, enabling their participation in NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) opportunities to develop advanced technologies essential for space exploration.

M-STAR aims to advance agency goals by enhancing institutional awareness of resources that strengthen the capacity of MSIs to offer and support STEM research at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It focuses on fostering connections between MSI administrators and STEM leaders to cutting-edge initiatives, ultimately increasing competitiveness to secure research funding and contracting opportunities.

EONS is an omnibus announcement that includes a range of NASA STEM Engagement opportunities for basic and applied science and technology research and other opportunities. NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System Supporting research in science and technology is an important part of NASA's overall mission. NASA solicits this research through the release of various announcements in a wide range of disciplines.

NASA uses a peer review process to evaluate and select proposals submitted in response to these announcements. Researchers can help NASA achieve national science and technology objectives by submitting proposals and conducting awarded projects.
