AI Contract Overview
The NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities Fall 2027 (NSTGRO27) program, managed by the Space Technology Mission Directorate, seeks proposals for innovative low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) civil space technology research and development. The program aims to build a pipeline of scientists and engineers to support NASA and the civil space ecosystem. Eligible applicants include individuals pursuing master's or doctoral degrees at U.S. institutions of higher education. Awards are issued to organizations rather than individuals, with an anticipated total of 35 awards. Each award provides a maximum annual funding of $84,000, covering student stipends, support allowances, health insurance, tuition, and a visiting technologist experience allowance. While initial funding is for one year, the total award duration can extend up to four years based on performance and fund availability. Proposals must be submitted via NSPIRES or Grants.gov by December 9, 2026, and require registration in SAM.gov and NSPIRES for all involved entities. The application process involves a preliminary proposal and a full proposal, both of which are weighted 50% on the student's academic excellence, potential, and commitment to space technology. Technical evaluation focuses on the merit of the research plan, its relevance to space technology applications, and alignment with specific Need Statements and Civil Space Shortfalls. Required submission documents include a personal statement, project narrative, and references, alongside a PI biographical sketch and budget justification. All submissions must be searchable, unlocked PDF files and adhere to strict page and formatting limits.
