Space Telescope Grants Administration

The grants administration team is responsible for the administration and management of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP) grant programs awarded by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) to the astronomical community in accordance with NASA, STScI, the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), and federal requirements, policies, procedures, and standard practices.

All budget and post-award grant processes occur within the Space Telescope Grants Management System, known as STGMS. This system allows users direct access to grant information, including budget submissions and approvals; grant awards and amendments; financial and performance reports; transfer requests, and much more.

The STScI General Grant Provisions, December 2018, Revision B (GGP) provide the general rules and regulations applicable to all grants awarded by the Space Telescope Science Institute.
