Announcement for Proposals (AFP) for Partnership Agreements for Embedded Creators

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking partners for the Embedded Creators program to share stories and insights regarding various agency missions. Under solicitation number NNH26ZNA001R, NASA intends to enter into nonreimbursable partnership agreements where no funds are exchanged. The agency aims to support filmmakers, documentarians, songwriters, poets, musicians, and other storytellers in reaching broad audiences to inspire the next generation of explorers. While NASA welcomes proposals from U.S. creators including individuals, entities, or teams, the agency will also consider proposals that include a minority of international participants if the team is led by a U.S. entity.

This special notice is classified under PSC R701 for Advertising Management Support and has no designated set-aside. The Announcement for Proposals (AFP) outlines the specific process for respondents to propose narrative projects centered on NASA’s ongoing missions. Performance for these agreements is centered in Washington, DC, and the deadline for responses is July 1, 2026.

Project documentation, including the full AFP and a related attachment from the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES), was first published on May 21, 2026. Interested parties are responsible for obtaining the formal announcement and any subsequent amendments through the NSPIRES platform.
