Who can apply

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

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

To the greatest extent practicable, participation will be open to all categories of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including educational, industry, nonprofit institutions, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), NASA Centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and other Government agencies. However, per GCAM 4.0, NASA Centers, NASA civil servants, facilities, and JPL may not be recipients of a NASA grant, cooperative agreement, or subaward from a NASA grant or cooperative agreement recipient. Individual Appendices may identify specific eligibility limitations that apply to that relevant opportunity.

Is this a realistic fit?

• The notice requires cost sharing or matching funds, so you must contribute part of the project cost.

What the grant funds

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) will be releasing an Umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled “Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion-2026 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2026)” on or about December 9, 2025. The solicitation is available by opening the NSPIRES homepage at https://nspires.nasaprs.com/, selecting “Open” under "Solicitations," and searching "Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion-2026 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2026)" un- der Solicitation #/Keyword(s). Proposals will be solicited through Appendices issued under this Umbrella SpaceTech-REDDI-2026 Solicitation, as technology topics are defined and funding is made available. See STMD Solicitations and Opportunities (https://www.nasa.gov/stmd-solicitations-and-opportunities/) for anticipated releases. Once new Appendices are released, interested parties will be able to access the Appendices by selecting “Open” under "Solicitations," and searching “SpaceTech- REDDI-2026” in the “Solicitation #/ Keyword(s)” search area, and then selecting “List of Open Program Elements”. It is anticipated that this Umbrella NRA Solicitation (SpaceTech-REDDI-2026) will be open for one year and Umbrella SpaceTech-REDDI Solicitations will be issued annually. NASA STMD leads the development, demonstration, and infusion of transformational space technologies that solve critical stakeholder needs. As the tech base for civil space, STMD advances technology to sup- port future NASA, other government, and commercial missions. STMD investments aim to (1) advance U.S. space technology innovation and competitiveness in a global context, (2) encourage technology driven economic growth with an emphasis on the expanding space economy, and (3) inspire and develop a powerful U.S. aerospace technology community. STMD bolsters and funds ideas from entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators across the country. Space technology research and development occurs at NASA centers, universi- ties, national labs, and small businesses. Interested proposers should monitor the NSPIRES website. NASA Headquarters maintains an electronic notification system to alert interested parties of program announcements, including solicitations and associated amendments.
