JWST Scientist – JNIS-1The National Research Council of Canada is seeking a qualified Instrument Scientist to provide specialized scientific support for the Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope, with the role based at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, while the contractor is expected to operate from British Columbia, Canada. The position requires a candidate with at least twenty years of post-doctoral experience in astrophysics research or telescope operations support, a PhD in astronomy, astrophysics, or physics, and extensive hands-on knowledge of at least one NIRISS science mode along with deep familiarity with JWST operations, tools, and software. The contract, issued as an Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN), is intended for a pre-identified supplier who has already demonstrated prior involvement with the Canadian-led NIRISS instrument, though other qualified suppliers may compete by submitting a Statement of Capabilities that meets all mandatory criteria. The estimated contract value ranges from CAD $300,000 to $350,000, with an additional annual allowance of up to CAD $15,000 for travel and publication expenses, and GST/HST applies separately. The work period spans twenty-one months, from July 1, 2026, to March 31, 2028, with the option to extend for two additional one-year periods. Key deliverables include a work plan due July 7, 2026, monthly progress reports submitted on the last day of each month, white papers on NIRISS and JWST submitted prior to publication, and a final report upon contract completion. Ownership of all foreground intellectual property generated under this contract vests with the contractor. All submissions must be directed to Tamara Stabb, Senior Procurement Officer, at 1200 Montreal Road, Ottawa, Ontario, via email by the deadline of June 30, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST.

MUREP Space Technology Artemis Research (M-STAR)The Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Space Technology Artemis Research (M-STAR) is a NASA initiative led by the Office of STEM Engagement designed to strengthen the research infrastructure and capacity of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to contribute to NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate. A total of $12 million is available over two years for up to twelve awards, each valued at $1 million, with anticipated award dates in October 2026. Funding is contingent upon congressional appropriations and NASA’s ongoing determination of performance and national interest. Each award supports a two-year period of performance with a strict budget structure: the lead MSI must retain and use at least 60% of the funds directly, while no more than 40% may be allocated to subawards or collaborations. Allowable costs include research equipment, domestic travel, materials, project administration, and overhead, but foreign travel, tuition, fees, and cost-sharing are explicitly prohibited. Proposals must align with NASA’s identified 32 Space Shortfalls, particularly in Space Transportation and Space to Surface Access, and must demonstrate a clear plan to enhance STEM degree attainment, curriculum development, and workforce pipelines. Proposals are evaluated using a weighted scoring system: 40% for intrinsic merit, which assesses institutional capability, feasibility of the research plan, and inclusion of a project Logic Model with measurable metrics; 40% for relevance to NASA, emphasizing sustainable educational programming, equitable student support mechanisms, targeted outreach, and direct alignment with NASA missions; and 20% for budget adequacy, requiring detailed justifications for personnel, stipends, travel, equipment, and vendor quotes. Evaluation ratings range from Excellent to Poor, with ties broken by preference for lower indirect cost rates. All applicants must be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier and must comply with 2 CFR 200 cost principles and subaward flow-down requirements. Proposals must be submitted electronically via NSPIRES by August 11, 2026, using Times New Roman 12-point font with one-inch margins and include a 4,000-character proposal summary, budget narrative, biographical sketches, current and pending support, letters of commitment, and a Comprehensive Evaluation Plan due within 60 days of award start. Reporting obligations include semi-annual Federal Financial Reports, annual and final Performance Reports in RPPR format with mandatory sections on Accomplishments, Products, and Participants, as well as Annual and Summative
