About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA Headquarters Space Technology Mission Directorate is releasing an umbrella NASA Research Announcement for Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion-2026 (SpaceTech REDDI-2026) on or about December 9, 2025, soliciting proposals through cooperative agreements, grants, and procurement contracts; individual technology-specific appendices will be released on a rolling basis with their own application deadlines throughout the anticipated one-year umbrella period.

Participation is open to U.S. and non-U.S. educational institutions, industry, nonprofits, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, University Affiliated Research Centers, and other government agencies. NASA Centers, NASA civil servants, facilities, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory may not be recipients of NASA grants, cooperative agreements, or subawards from NASA grant or cooperative agreement recipients. Individual appendices may impose additional eligibility limitations specific to their technology topics.

STMD advances transformational space technologies supporting future NASA, other government, and commercial missions, with three strategic aims: advance U.S. space technology innovation and competitiveness globally, encourage technology-driven economic growth with emphasis on the expanding space economy, and develop the U.S. aerospace technology community. The program is aligned with NASA's Moon to Mars objectives and uses a Technology Strategy to prioritize specific technical challenges informed by the 2024 Civil Space Shortfall Ranking, which integrates input from NASA Mission Directorates, Centers, industry, government agencies, and academia.

All proposals undergo administrative, merit, and financial review; merit review is based on peer review where applicable. Award selection announcements generally occur 150 to 220 days after the proposal due date, following federal budget approval. Award timelines may extend due to budget delays, required approvals, or requests for additional applicant information. Proposals submitted late or failing to meet preparation requirements, responsiveness standards, or submission lead time will be returned without review and are not subject to appeal.

Synopsis

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. Subscription to this service is free to all registered users of NSPIRES at https://nspires.nasaprs.com. To add or change a subscription to the electronic notification system for a specific pro- gram or a NASA Mission Directorate, users should login to the database system and select "Account Management," then "Email Subscriptions." It is the responsibility of the prospective proposer to check this solicitation's NSPIRES page for updates.


Further questions concerning the Space Tech-REDDI-2026 solicitation may be sub- mitted to: HQ-STMD-SpaceTech-REDDI@nasaprs.com. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and may also be included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved.

Eligibility

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.
