Your team can apply to be part of this program.

NASA SMD seeks a portfolio of projects that together : Cover the full breadth of NASA science disciplines Operate across all 50 states plus U.S. territories Reach people of all ages and backgrounds Work in both formal and informal learning contexts Engage community partners to deepen and extend the reach and impact of NASA science NASA seeks a balance of projects that (1) seek to broadly share resources and opportunities that leverage NASA assets, and (2) seek to meet specific community (both geographically- and interest-based) needs through NASA assets .

Participation is open to all categories of U.S. institutions, except media organizations since broadcast communication is not a focus. Non-U.S. participation in teaming arrangements or leveraging relationships on proposals submitted by U.S. institutions may only be proposed at no cost to NASA.

January 9, 2 pm Eastern: Pre-proposal Webinar (see opportunity for access details) Notice of Intent requested by 1/26/2026 Full details on the Science Activation opportunity can be found here.
