Lewis-Burke has provided an update report on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) nominations for key leadership positions, guidance and executive orders impacting operations and future priorities, upcoming legislation, and current funding opportunities, such as the Astrophysics Small Explorer, Astrophysics Pioneers, heliophysics science, ecological science, atmosphere observing system, space biology and physical sciences, and aviation and transportation research grants. While proposals for these new funding calls will be reviewed by the new agency leadership teams, most of these are aligned with Trump Administration priorities, are annual, non-controversial solicitations, and/or were congressionally directed and appropriated, thus likely to be awarded.
