The NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) was a unit within NASA to promote and coordinate the study of astrobiology through communications, coordination and funding of research. The unit was formed in 1998 and dissolved in 2019. The research was carried out by collaborations of university and other institution researchers. NASA still carries out some astrobiology-related scientific research but NASA now but without this specific unit dedicated to the subject.
