Explore the BPS Science Road Map
Watch the BPS team introduce the Interactive Decadal Science Road Map during their demonstration at the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) 2025 meeting. In this video, you’ll see how the Road Map works and how it can be used to explore the future of biological and physical sciences research.
The Next Decade of Science
BPS's Science Road Map aims to advance research in priority scientific areas recommended by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Decadal Survey. Our exploration science advances national priorities to send the first humans - Americans - to Mars and beyond.

NASA’s Biological and Physical Sciences Division pioneers scientific discovery and enables exploration by using space environments to conduct investigations not possible on Earth. Studying biological and physical phenomena under extreme conditions allows researchers to advance the fundamental scientific knowledge required to go farther and stay longer in space, while also benefitting life on Earth.
