- NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI)
 - Partnership between NASA and academic or other research organisations to promote, conduct, and lead integrated multi-disciplinary astrobiology research and train young researchers. - Astrobiology at the University of Washington
- Investigating the wide range of multidisciplinary factors that may influence the origin and evolution of life on Earth and beyond.
- Astrobiology Program at Arizona State University
- Member of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, it includes faculty researchers and students at all levels from the departments of geological sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, biology, and microbiology and plant biology.
- BioMARS
- A University of California Berkeley-led NASA Astrobiology Institute working to identify the types of sites on Mars that experienced long-term fluid flow as these may be, or have been, conducive to life.
- Carnegie Institution of Washington: NASA Astrobiology Institute
- Addressing: How does life begin and evolve? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe? What is the future of life on Earth and beyond?
- Center for Astrobiology at the University of Colorado
- Coordinate astrobiology research, teaching, and outreach activities.
- Goddard Center for Astrobiology (GCA)
- Working to understand how organic compounds are created, destroyed, and altered during stellar evolution leading up to the origin of life on a planet, such as Earth.
- IPTAI: Indiana Princeton Tennessee Astrobiology Initiative
- Collaboratively investigating physical and chemical limitations on life beneath the subsurface of Earth.

- Penn State Astrobiology Research Center (PSARC)
- Established in 1998 as part of the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) to promote the exciting frontier science field of Astrobiology.
- UCLA IGPP Center for Astrobiology
- Research focuses on four themes: extrasolar planetary systems, habitability within the solar system, Earth's early environment and life, and evolution of biological complexity.
- University of Hawaii Astrobiology Lead Team
- Tracing the history of water from its formation in the ISM to incorporation in the solar system, how it reaches the terrestrial planets, and its role in life.
- University of Rhode Island Astrobiology Institute
- Works to gain a fundamental understanding of the life that inhabits Earth's deeply buried marine sediments.
- Virtual Planetary Laboratory (VPL)
- Team of scientists who are building computer simulated Earth-sized planets to discover the likely range of planetary environments for planets around other stars.
