New Calls for Aeronautics Research Participation
On June 23, 2026 the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) of NASA posted an updated list of research solicitations. The page aggregates current opportunities for companies, universities and research institutes to contribute to the development of next‑generation air transportation systems.
Most solicitations are announced through the web‑based NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated System (SPINS), which serves as the central hub for submitting project proposals. Applicants can review detailed requirements, deadlines and evaluation criteria on the platform.
- Low‑emission propulsion technologies
- Advanced air traffic management and safety solutions
- Autonomous flight control and unmanned aerial systems
ARMD stresses that external partnerships are essential to maintain the United States' leadership in aviation while meeting environmental targets. The calls cover both fundamental research and applied technology development.
Interested parties are asked to submit proposals via SPINS by the specified deadlines, providing the required technical and financial documentation. Selections will be based on scientific merit, technical feasibility and potential impact on civil aviation.
The refreshed solicitation list is available on the ARMD website and will be continuously updated to reflect emerging challenges in the aerospace sector.
