Established Program to… * NASA Award Proposers Guide * Basic Research Focus Areas # Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research EPSCoR establishes partnerships with government, higher education and industry that are designed to effect lasting improvements in a state or region’s research infrastructure, research and development capacity, and its national research and development competitiveness.
About EPSCoR and Award Announcements about Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research By State and Jurisdiction The EPSCoR program is directed at those jurisdictions that have not participated equably in competitive aerospace and aerospace-related research activities. Twenty-five states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam currently participate.
Five federal agencies, including NASA, conduct EPSCoR programs. ## Research and Development NASA awards funding to universities and organizations across the country for research and technology development projects in areas critical to the agency’s mission.
The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program supports science and technology research and development at colleges and universities in areas, such as remote sensing, artificial intelligence, astrophysics and aeronautics. All of these are applicable to NASA’s work in Earth science, aeronautics, and human and robotic deep space exploration.
EPSCoR is designed to fulfill the mandate of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote scientific progress nationwide.
EPSCoR RII: EPSCoR Research Fellows(formerly knowns as EPSCoR RII Track – 4) provides awards to build research capacity in institutions and transform the career trajectories of investigators and further develop their individual research potential through collaborations with investigators from the nation’s premier private, governmental, or academic research centers.
## 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. Article 5 Min Read Student-Built Capsules Endure Heat of Re-entry for NASA Science Article 5 Min Read NASA Knows – How Can I Get Involved With NASA Research?

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.
