Your real odds
The pool is limited to qualifying minority-serving institutions, which narrows the field even though NASA's grant history is selective.
No award counts or acceptance rates are disclosed, and the single submission window means there is no rolling reapplication if you miss it.

Register on SAM.gov and Grants.gov1 to 2 weeks
Develop a research proposal4 to 8 weeks
Submit application through Grants.gov1 to 2 days
Worth knowing
Proposals tied directly to NASA's stated lunar exploration technology gaps stand on stronger ground than general space research pitches, because the program is explicitly built around Artemis mission priorities.
