NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities (NSTGRO)

The NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities (NSTGRO) program, which replaced the NASA Space Technology Research Fellowships solicitation in 2019, sponsors U.S. citizen and permanent resident graduate students who show significant potential to contribute to NASA's goal of creating innovative new space technologies for our Nation's science, exploration and economic future. NASA Space Technology Graduate Researchers will perform innovative, space technology research at their respective campuses and at NASA Centers. Awards are made in the form of grants to accredited U.S. universities on behalf of individuals pursuing master's or doctoral degrees, with the faculty advisor serving as the principal investigator. The program seeks to support students in space technology-related degrees that are technical, not policy-based. Annual NSTGRO solicitations are planned and released via NSPIRES.
