About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements to strengthen the role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in space exploration through the Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Space Technology Artemis Research (M-STAR) initiative, with applications due August 11, 2026.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (two- or four-year universities and colleges, public or private), educational institutions, non-profit organizations, for-profit entities, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers sponsored by agencies other than NASA. Non-U.S. organizations may apply on a no-exchange-of-funds basis. The opportunity operates under CFDA 43.008 through NASA's Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM).
Award amounts, number of awards, and cost share requirements are not specified in the posted materials. The funding instruments are structured as cooperative agreements. Performance occurs at awardee institutions in collaboration with NASA Centers and designated facilities. The initiative is designed to cultivate a highly skilled and competitive STEM workforce by broadening pathways to STEM fields and increasing the capability and size of the nation's future STEM workforce aligned with NASA's strategic priorities in space exploration and related technical fields.
All proposals require electronic submission through NASA's Solicitation and Proposal Integration and Review System (NSPIRES). NASA conducts administrative, merit, and financial review of all applications. Selection timelines generally extend 150 to 220 days after the proposal due date, following federal budget approval, though timelines may be extended due to budget delays or requests for additional information. Principal Investigators and Co-Investigators must register in NSPIRES prior to submission.
