NASA published an RFI on September 12, 2026 seeking states willing to host and sponsor the new United States Space Academy, with responses due October 26 at 6 p.m. EDT through SAM.gov. Only a governor or a governor's designee may submit, and only once per state. The timeline demands groundbreaking by 2027, 300 students in temporary facilities in 2028, and a permanent campus by 2031. Here is what that structure actually means for universities, economic development agencies, and contractors in the states that compete.

Step-1 closes September 29, 2026, Step-2 on December 4, review is dual-anonymous, and up to $180,000 a year is carved out for public engagement before any science gets funded.
Read articleROSES-2025 has been amended 69 times and now runs to December 31, 2026 — but the 'no due date' and flexible program elements that carried the community through the gap close August 31. Two rules changed mid-cycle that most proposers have not read: a generative-AI citation requirement and a $0.09-per-SBU charge for NASA high-end computing that must appear in your Earth Science budget.
