Eligibility is not limited to Kentucky Space Grant Consortium Affiliate Institutions. US Citizenship is not required, but funded investigators must be eligible for employment in the US. Reporting on current and prior awards must be up to date to be eligible for funding.
Kentucky commmercial, non-profit, and government entities can partner with KY academic institutions for proposals. NASA KY will provide Principal Investigators (PIs) with a reporting template for each award.
PIs are required to report research productivity and students supported via: 1) Progress reports during the award period, 2) Final Report within 30 days of the end of the award, and 3) Post-award annual update 1 year after project completion. Reporting must be current in order for NASA KY to meet NASA and state annual report cycles. Project reports should be submitted to nasa@uky.

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.
