About this opportunity
NASA's Office of STEM Engagement is soliciting cooperative agreement proposals for the FY 2027 TEAM II STEM Innovator opportunity, which funds mission-connected informal education programs, with proposals due February 1, 2027. Lead applicants must be U.S.-based nonprofit Informal Education Institutions, including science museums and centers, planetariums, libraries, and other nonprofit youth-serving informal education organizations. A state, local, or federally recognized tribal government agency or higher education institution may lead only if it also is an eligible IEI or submits on behalf of an integrated eligible IEI, and a NASA Center may lead only in its capacity as a NASA Visitor Center.
Projects must serve youth in grades 5-8 as the primary audience and may also engage youth in grades 9-12, families, communities, and education partners. Projects connect learners to NASA missions and aerospace careers through immersive experiences that build STEM identity, technical skills, career awareness, and problem-solving.
All proposals undergo administrative, merit, and financial review, and merit review may be based on peer review. The source does not weight evaluation criteria. Selection announcements generally occur 150 to 220 days after the due date, and selection timelines may be extended by budget delays, required approvals, or requests for additional applicant information. Proposals are submitted through NSPIRES, and all Principal Investigators and Co-Investigators must register there. The opportunity is assigned Assistance Listing 43.008 under the Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) program.
Across the 43.008 portfolio, Cooperative Agreements have ranged from roughly $125,000 to $1.8 million, with many clustering around $250,000 to $400,000 annually over two to four years. These are program-wide figures, not limits for this opportunity.
