STRG challenges the spectrum of academic researchers \u2013 from graduate students to tenured faculty members \u2013 to examine the theoretical feasibility of ideas and approaches that are critical to making science, space travel, and exploration more effective, affordable, and sustainable. The NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities solicitation (which replaces the NASA Space Technology Research Fellowships solicitation) seeks to sponsor graduate student researchers who show significant potential to contribute to NASA\u2019s goal of creating innovative new space technologies for our Nation\u2019s science, exploration, and economic future. The topics featured in the Early Career Faculty, Early Stage Innovations, Lunar Surface Technology Research Opportunities, and Space Technology Research Institutes solicitations are of high priority to NASA\u2019s Mission Directorates and the aerospace community in areas where it is anticipated that academia is ideally suited to provide significant innovations. All four opportunities are aligned with the Agency\u2019s Technology Roadmaps and the NASA Strategic Space Technology Investment Plan.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/about-strg\/#fundedactivities\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary link-external-true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"section-heading-md\">\n                                Go to Funded STRG Activities <span class=\"usa-sr-only\">about About STRG<\/span>                            <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-featured-link-list bg-spacesuit-white padding-x-2 tablet:padding-x-3 desktop:padding-x-4 padding-y-5 desktop:padding-y-6 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-featured-link-list\">\t<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block padding-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-4\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-22\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row padding-y-2 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row featured-link-list-row width-full flex-align-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-2 desktop:grid-col-1 tablet:padding-right-3 desktop:padding-right-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"width-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-cover-wrapper width-full ratio-1x1 radius-pill overflow-hidden\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/acd23-0077-002orig.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Starling\" style=\"transform: scale(1);
