  • Updates regarding HST Cycle 33 funding

    January 13: NASA has provided $10M to support HST Cycle 33 research programs. Program budget details are pending final authorization and will be shared with investigators via Budget Notification Letters, expected approximately January 22, 2026. 

    We anticipate a budget submission deadline of Thursday, February 19, 2026. Budget proposals will be reviewed to ensure that all costs are allowable, reasonable, within scope of the approved science proposal, and compliant with the STScI General Grant Provisions and 2 CFR 200. Proposals that do not meet these criteria will be required to submit revised budgets for review prior to final approval.  

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.
