Research Opportunities

NASA funds thousands of scientists, engineers, and educators each year at U.S. nonprofit, commercial organizations, universities as well as Federal research organizations including NASA’s own Centers and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In addition, NASA solicits proposals to foster aggressive programs aimed at education and public outreach, as well as to ensure maximum participation in NASA programs by minority organizations, small businesses, and small disadvantaged businesses.

Postdoctoral Fellowships

  • The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique one- to three-year Fellowship appointments that are designed to advance NASA's missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
