AI Contract Overview
The Space Technology Research Institutes (STRI26) solicitation, number NNH26ZTR001N-26STRI-B3, is issued by the NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate to establish multidisciplinary research institutes at U.S. Institutions of Higher Education. The program focuses on low-to-mid Technology Readiness Level research, specifically starting at TRL 1-2, to advance specific research topics through a phased approach involving the identification and mitigation of loss mechanisms. The anticipated award instrument is a grant, with a maximum award duration of five years and a total funding limit of 13 million dollars per award, not to exceed 3.25 million dollars in any single year. The target award date is May 2027. Applicants must be registered in SAM.gov and NSPIRES, providing a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) with their submission. A minimum cost share of 1 percent is required, though waivers are available for specific insular areas. The selection process utilizes a two-step Dual Anonymous Peer Review (DAPR) system, requiring a Mandatory Preliminary Proposal followed by an invitation-only Full Proposal. Evaluation is weighted between the anonymized technical proposal (60 percent for management approach and 20 percent for data management and cost) and a non-anonymized assessment of expertise and resources (40 percent). Key deliverables include peer-reviewed publications, design tools, and a 508-compliant institute website to be launched by the end of the second quarter of the first year.
