National Nanotechnology Institute (NNI)

Support a coordinated effort to develop nanotechnology to meet future NASA mission needs with a clear path to application and flight

NASA Funded: Opportunities for collaboration and mechanisms for funding that facilitate the discovery and deployment of nanotechnology to serve the public good. NASA Unfunded: This item does not benefit any NASA unfunded or planned missions. OGA: Opportunities for collaboration and mechanisms for funding that facilitate the discovery and deployment of nanotechnology to serve the public good. Commercial: Opportunities for collaboration and mechanisms for funding that facilitate the discovery and deployment of nanotechnology to serve the public good. Nation: Opportunities for collaboration and mechanisms for funding that facilitate the discovery and deployment of nanotechnology to serve the public good

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
