Who can apply

This opportunity was open to the applicants described in the notice.

• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

Proposers must be affiliated with an institution at nspires.nasaprs.com/ and, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Organizations outside the U.S. that propose on the basis of a policy of no-exchange-of-funds; consult the NASA Proposer’s Guide (https://www.nasa.gov/general/grants-policy-and-compliance-team/ - section-2) for specific details. Some NRAs may be issued jointly with a non-U.S. organization, e.g., those concerning guest observing programs for jointly sponsored space science programs, that will contain additional special guidelines for non-U.S. participants. Also reference the Proposer’s Guide for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.

Is this a realistic fit?

• Most of the program's money (49% over five years) went to nonprofits.
• No cost sharing or match is required.

What the grant funds

Notice January 20, 2026: TWSC-24's is amended to show a new, final due date of January 30, 2026. It remains no longer possible to start a new TWSC proposal. NSPIRES will prevent submission of TWSC-24 proposals after January 30th The goal of the Science Mission Directorate’s (SMD) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) entitled, “Topical Workshops, Symposiums, and Conferences (TWSC-24) in Space and Earth Sciences and Technology”, is to contribute to SMD's science, technology, and exploration research goals, such as those described by the NASA 2022 Strategic Plan. TWSC aligns to the 2022 Plan’s Goal Statement: “NASA’s enduring purpose is scientific discovery and exploration for the benefit of the United States and all of humanity. NASA seeks to discover the secrets of the universe, search for life elsewhere, and protect and improve life on Earth and in space. Finding answers to these profound science questions requires support for national priorities in science and exploration, enhancing new opportunities for cross-disciplinary science, and expanding the societal benefits of our science programs.” TWSC award sizes will vary from amounts in the low thousands of dollars—for example to cover travel and registration to a third-party’s event — to $750,000 or more for a large event. TWSC welcomes proposals for large and small meetings, retreats, seminars, symposiums, workshops, or other events, including asynchronous and virtual workshops, etc. The purpose of TWSC events may be 1) to disseminate technical information beyond NASA and SMD; or 2) to facilitate research networks and/or research administration capabilities at entities not previously funded by NASA. Participation is open to U.S. organizations or institutions, including minority serving educational and not-for-profit institutions, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), NASA Centers, and other Government agencies. See the NOFO’s Section 3, for detailed eligibility information. TWSC has no dedicated funding, so proposers are directed to first contact a NASA division, office, or program that may have funding before preparing a proposal. For more details about how to identify and contact possible funders in SMD see Section 7.1. TWSC does not accept Notices of Intent (NOI).
