The NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in Exobiology records document the research and work of the center; including administrative files, event and lecture materials, publications and grants, and site visit materials.

In early 1990s, NASA's Life Sciences Division launched a NASA Specialized Centers of Research and Training (NSCORT) program with the goal of establishing and funding centers focused on different areas of science relevant to NASA's work. By 1991, NASA accepted a proposal from a consortium of scientists from UC San Diego, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). In January 1992, NSCORT in Exobiology was established as part of the California Space Institute and was administered through Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
