NASA Research Opportunities in Aeronautics Competition for NRA awards is open to both academia and industry. The current open solicitations for ARMD Research Opportunities are ROA-2024 and ROA-2025 . Here is some general information to know about the NRA process.
NRA solicitations are released by NASA Headquarters through the Web-based NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System ( NSPIRES ). All NRA technical work is defined and managed by project teams within these four programs: Advanced Air Vehicles Program , Airspace Operations and Safety Program , Integrated Aviation Systems Program , and Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program .
NRA awards originate from NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia, Ames Research Center in California, Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, and Armstrong Flight Research Center in California. Competition for NRA awards is full and open. Participation is open to all categories of organizations, including educational institutions, industry, and nonprofits.
Any updates or amendments to an NRA is posted on the appropriate NSPIRES web pages as noted in the Amendments detailed below. ARMD sends notifications of NRA updates through the NSPIRES email system. In order to receive these email notifications, you must be a Registered User of NSPIRES.
However, note that NASA is not responsible for inadvertently failing to provide notification of a future NRA. Parties are responsible for regularly checking the NSPIRES website for updated NRAs. Discover More Topics From NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate For Colleges & Universities
Based on current listing details, eligibility includes: States, counties, municipalities, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations eligible for current open solicitation; eligibility varies by NRA announcement. Applicants should confirm final requirements in the official notice before submission.
Current published award information indicates Up to $500,000 annually; $1,500,000 maximum over 3 years (current open NAS_Hub solicitation) Always verify allowable costs, matching requirements, and funding caps directly in the sponsor documentation.
The current target date is May 31, 2026. Build your timeline backwards from this date to cover registrations, approvals, attachments, and final submission checks.
Federal grant success rates typically range from 10-30%, varying by agency and program. Build a strong proposal with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a well-justified budget to improve your chances.
Requirements vary by sponsor, but typically include a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capability statement, and key personnel CVs. Check the official notice for the complete list of required attachments.
Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is releasing a NASA Announcement of Opportunity (NNH10ZDA007O), Discovery 2010. NASA expects to select up to three Discovery mission proposals for a 9 month Phase A study. Following evaluation of Phase A reports, NASA expects to approve one Discovery mission to proceed into Phase B and subsequent mission phases. Launch Readiness Date (LRD) is to occur no later than December 31, 2017. The proposed missions may target any body in the Solar System, including Mars and Earths Moon, but excluding the Earth and Sun. Participation is open to all categories of organizations (U.S. and non-U.S), including educational institutions, industry, not-for-profit organizations, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), NASA Centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and other Government agencies. This solicitation will be open from June 7, 2010, through September 3, 2010. Upon the release date, the full text of the AO and all appendices will be available electronically at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ . A preproposal conference will be held in late June or early July, in the Washington, DC, area; see http://discovery.larc.nasa.gov/ for details. Proposers should be aware of the following major changes in this AO from the Draft Discovery Program AO (NNH10ZDA003J) released in December 2009: Launch vehicles in the medium and high performance classes with 4m fairings will be added as options. Costs to proposers for these options are currently being assessed. Proposed missions will be required to be compatible through PDR with three families of launch vehicles: Atlas V, Delta IV, and Falcon 9. The minimum requirements for taking advantage of technology-infusion cost cap incentives will be detailed in a new document in the Program Library entitled In-Space Propulsion Technologies Minimum Demonstration Requirements. The costs associated with NEPA, NLSA, and nuclear launch services for missions proposing to use ASRGs will be reduced to a firm, fixed cost of $20M (FY10). The justification for the use of X-band telecommunications for science data downlink will be clarified to explicitly follow Recommendation 23-1 of the Space Frequency Coordination Group: in deep-space X-band users will be limited to 12 MHz of bandwidth while at Mars X-band users will be limited to 8 MHz of bandwidth. Beyond these limits, missions will be required to use Ka-band. Aperture fees based on the standard formula will remain. Missions to the Martian surface will no longer be required to carry the Electra-lite UHF radio package. However, any UHF package used will be required to be interoperable with the current Mars UHF relay network. The latest allowable Launch Readiness Date (LRD) will be extended to December 31, 2017. In addition to the listed major changes, this AO incorporates a large number of additional changes relative to the previous Discovery Program AO and the Draft Discovery Program AO, including both policy changes and changes to proposal submission requirements. All proposers must read this AO carefully, and all proposals must comply with the requirements, constraints, and guidelines contained within this AO. Direct questions specifically regarding this solicitation to: Dr. Michael H. New, Discovery Program Scientist, Planetary Science Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546; Tel.: (202) 358-1766; E-mail: Michael.H.New@nasa.gov (subject line to read "DISCOVERY AO").
