Town Hall for NASA Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy (NASA-DARES 2025)
Join us for an interactive NASA Astrobiology Town Hall where we will provide an overview of the forthcoming NASA Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy (NASA-DARES 2025).
This new Strategy aims to address the evolving needs of the astrobiology community, reflecting its growth and increasing interdisciplinarity. NASA-DARES 2025 emphasizes astrobiology’s expanded role as a central pillar across NASA’s scientific research and mission portfolios, creating a framework that guides research and exploration over the next decade.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the ongoing Request for Information (RFI) process, accessible through the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) at https://go.nasa.gov/ABStrategyRFI.
We will also discuss how the RFI feedback will be used to inform the Strategy’s direction, as well as additional opportunities for community involvement and engagement throughout the coming year.
