Opportunity Kick-off: NASA Space Technology Research Institute (STRI)

Topic: NASA Space Technology Research Institutes (STRI) Opportunity Kick-Off
NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate is seeking to invest, via research institutes, in university-led, sustained, multi-disciplinary space technology research focused in strategic areas for transformative impact to future NASA exploration and science. A solicitation, titled Space Technology Research Institutes (STRI), is an appendix to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled "Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2020 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2020)” and was released on June 2, 2020.

The solicitation exclusively seeks proposals that are responsive to one of the following two topics:

• High-Power Electric Propulsion Ground Testing and Modeling Extensible to In-Space Operation
• Revolutionary Advancements in Multidisciplinary Modeling and Simulation of Entry Systems

The award maximum is $5M for five (5) years. To access the solicitation directly, visit http://tinyurl.com/NASA-STRI20.

Faculty and other researchers who are interested in this program, either leading or collaborating with others in developing a proposal, are invited to attend an opportunity kick-off, where we will discuss the proposal components and the program history.
