Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — 2025 HERO Appendix A: NASA Human Research Program Omnibus Opportunity — is cataloged under number NNJ25ZSA001N-OMNIBUS and tied to CFDA assistance listing 43.007, posted by NASA Johnson Space Center. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on November 1, 2024. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a procurement contract.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $250,000. The agency has projected $1.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 4 awards. If the agency funds the expected 4 awards from the $1.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $250,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on December 2, 2024. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description
New NASA Research Announcement NNJ25ZSA001N-OMNIBUS NASA Human Research Program Omnibus Opportunity NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) has released solicited NOFO NNJ25ZSA001N-OMNIBUS that solicits applied research in support of HRP goals and objectives. This is Appendix A of the Human Exploration Research Opportunities (HERO) NOFO (NNJ25ZSA001N). NASA is soliciting investigations lasting no more than one year that provide innovative approaches to any of the risks and gaps contained in the Integrated Research Plan (https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov) of the Human Research Program. NASA is also soliciting novel research ideas that might not be directly aligned with HRP’s identified risks from new investigators or early career investigators who have not received funding from NASA HRP, NASA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, or the Translational Research Institute for Space Health in the last ten years. Early career investigators must additionally be no more than ten years from their terminal research degree or clinical training. See the solicitation for details. Appendix A of the HERO NOFO and associated documentation can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/HERO2025A. The HERO NOFO including all open appendices is available through the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at: https://tinyurl.com/HERO25NOFO. A virtual Pre-Proposers Conference is scheduled for November 14, 2024, and more details are posted alongside this solicitation on NSPIRES. Appendix A Step-1 proposals are due December 2, 2024. Invited Appendix A Step-2 proposals are due March 11, 2025. All categories of United States (U.S.) institutions are eligible to submit proposals in response to the NOFO. Principal Investigators may collaborate with universities, Federal Government laboratories, the private sector, and state and local government laboratories. In all such arrangements, the applying entity is expected to be responsible for administering the project according to the management approach presented in the proposal. NASA’s policy is to conduct research with non-U.S. organizations on a cooperative, no exchange-of-funds basis. Thank you for your continued interest in NASA. Please refer to the solicitation document for contact information.
