In the 2019 round, NIAC has selected 12 projects for Phase I awards, valued at around $125,000, and six Phase II awards, valued up to $500,000. Phase I studies are exploratory, nine-month projects that allow researchers to further develop their ideas, while Phase II studies give them a two-year window to advance their technologies even further and outline how they might bring the ideas to life.

Floating power stations would beam energy to the Venus lander in a proposed project from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
