Center for Research and Exploration in Space Science and Technology II (CRESST II | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Center for Research and Exploration in Space Science and Technology II (CRESST II) is a NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA-GSFC) funding opportunity designed to support continued research and development activities in space science and technology. The listing indicates this is a continuation opportunity, which typically means it is intended to extend, recompete, or otherwise carry forward an existing program effort rather than launch an entirely new, open-ended initiative. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, signaling that NASA expects substantial involvement in the supported work beyond simply providing funds. In practice, cooperative agreements are used when the agency anticipates active collaboration, technical guidance, coordination, shared resources, or ongoing programmatic engagement during performance.

The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting a broad R and D scope consistent with a multi-disciplinary center-style program. While the public summary provided here does not include a narrative description of specific research topics, CRESST II by its name and typical NASA center frameworks would generally encompass activities such as advancing space science investigations, developing or improving technologies and methodologies relevant to NASA missions, supporting data analysis and interpretation, and strengthening partnerships that expand research capability. However, because the provided source text explicitly lists the description as "None," any precise statement about technical areas, work packages, deliverables, or mission alignment would need to come from the full solicitation package rather than this abbreviated record.

Eligibility is marked as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that there may be additional eligibility conditions contained in the full announcement under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. This kind of eligibility framing is common for federal R and D opportunities where NASA may allow universities, nonprofits, for-profits, and other organizations to apply, but still reserve the right to impose specific requirements such as demonstrated capabilities, compliance with federal assistance rules, or constraints related to the continuation nature of the award.

Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number NNG16541308C and an original and current closing date of June 21, 2016, indicating there was no extension reflected in this record. The opportunity was created and posted on March 23, 2016, giving applicants roughly a three-month window to prepare and submit materials. NASA anticipated making one award, suggesting a single lead organization would manage the center or program and potentially oversee collaborations, subawards, or partner contributions. The award ceiling is not specified in the provided data, so the maximum potential funding level cannot be determined from this record alone.

In short, this is a NASA-GSFC continuation cooperative agreement opportunity for a single award supporting a center-like R and D effort under the CRESST II title, open in principle to a wide range of applicant types, posted March 23, 2016, and closing June 21, 2016. For specifics on the statement of work, performance period, anticipated funding range, required proposal sections, evaluation criteria, and any special eligibility limitations tied to the continuation designation, the full solicitation text associated with NNG16541308C would be the authoritative source.
