NASA Fellowship Activity (OSTEM) is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Supports graduate-level students in AI and other STEM fields to conduct research aligned with NASA's mission and gain hands-on technical competencies. Application snapshot: target deadline February 27, 2026; published funding information $20,000 - $35,000; eligibility guidance U.S. citizens enrolled in a graduate degree program (Master's or Ph.D.) at an accredited U.S. university. Use the official notice and source links for final requirements, attachment checklists, allowable costs, and submission instructions before applying.
NASA 2026 Human Lander Challenge is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA’s Human Lander Challenge (HuLC) is an initiative supporting its Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate’s (ESDMD’s) efforts to explore innovative solutions for a variety of known technology development areas for human landing systems (HLS). Landers are used to safely ferry astronauts to and from the lunar surface as part of the mission architecture for NASA’s Artemis campaign. Through this challenge, college students contribute to the advancement of HLS technologies, concepts, and approaches. Improvements in these technology areas have the potential to revolutionize NASA’s approach to space exploration, and contributions from the academic community are a valuable part of the journey to discovery. HuLC is open to teams comprised of full-time or part-time undergraduate and/or graduate students at an accredited U.S.-based community college, college, or university. HuLC projects allow students to incorporate their coursework into real aerospace design concepts and work together in a team environment. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged. Application snapshot: target deadline March 5, 2026; published funding information $126,000; eligibility guidance https://hulc.nianet.org/ Use the official notice and source links for final requirements, attachment checklists, allowable costs, and submission instructions before applying.

30, 2025, will not be impacted. We are actively tracking the progress of program authorization in Congress and, during the program authorization lapse, we will continue nominal operations, including the administration of ongoing contracts. We will resume the release of any new solicitations and the funding of new awards when the program is reauthorized.
This is an evolving situation, and we will update this page with additional information and resources as they become available. The NASA Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) program is part of America’s Seed Fund, the nation’s largest source of early-stage non-dilutive funding for innovative technologies.
Through this program, entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses with less than 500 employees can receive funding and non-monetary support to build, mature, and commercialize their technologies, advancing NASA missions and helping solve important problems facing our country. Whether your destination is the Moon, Mars, or the marketplace, the NASA SBIR/STTR program wants to help get you there!

The NASA SBIR/STTR Program has joined the SBIR Partnering Platform! We are excited to announce an opportunity for our small businesses to connect with other innovators and partners. NASA SBIR/STTR has joined the SBIR Partnering Platform.
This public, multi-agency platform facilitates partnering between Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applicants/awardees and all those who can contribute to their success (investors, subject matter experts, research institutes, service providers, industry stakeholders, etc.) in their respective ecosystems. Instructions on how to register with the platform and begin making those partnerships are available on the platform.
Explore the SBIR Partnering Platform Here Read recent web features, newsletters, and stories about the impact our awardees are having on NASA and the country. Learn More about News and Success Stories We are one piece of the SBIR/STTR pie America’s Seed Fund is coordinated by the U. S.
Small Business Administration (SBA), which provides resources and support to the NASA SBIR/STTR program and 10 other participating Federal agencies. The SBA tracks SBIR/STTR awards across the government, provides helpful program information, hosts frequent virtual and in-person events, and offers connections to others in the innovation ecosystem who may be able to help you if you need support outside of the NASA SBIR/STTR program.
