2025 Science Activation Opportunity
NASA Science encourages all people to actively participate in science through activities and resources developed by a collaborative network of project teams drawing on NASA SMD assets (science content, experts, data, etc.). Your team can apply to be part of this program.
Opportunity
NASA SMD seeks a portfolio of projects that together :
- Cover the full breadth of NASA science disciplines
- Operate across all 50 states plus U.S. territories
- Reach people of all ages and backgrounds
- Work in both formal and informal learning contexts
- Engage community partners to deepen and extend the reach and impact of NASA science
Projects
NASA seeks a balance of projects that (1) seek to broadly share resources and opportunities that leverage NASA assets, and (2) seek to meet specific community (both geographically- and interest-based) needs through NASA assets .
Eligibility
Participation is open to all categories of U.S. institutions, except media organizations since broadcast communication is not a focus.
Non-U.S. participation in teaming arrangements or leveraging relationships on proposals submitted by U.S. institutions may only be proposed at no cost to NASA.
Important Dates
January 9, 2 pm Eastern: Pre-proposal Webinar (see opportunity for access details)
Notice of Intent requested by 1/26/2026
Proposals due 3/31/2026
