About this opportunity

The close date above is the date ROSES25 closes. The Step-2 due date will be announced at least 60 days before the Step-2 proposal due date. The Step-1 proposal due date is May 1, 2026. Step-2 proposals cannot be submitted if a Step-1 proposal was not submitted. NOTICE: Amended February 11, 2026. This amendment makes two corrections to this program element: The length of the Step-1 Proposal in Section 3.3.1 has been corrected from two pages to three, and the expected budget numbers given in the summary table are per award, per year, not the budget for all of the new awards in the SST. NOTICE: Amended February 3, 2026. This amendment releases the final text for this program element, which was previously TBD. Step-1 proposals are due May 1, 2026. The Step-2 due date will be announced at least 60 days before the Step-2 proposal due date, see Section 3.1. An individual may be Principal Investigator (PI) of one and only one proposal to this program element. There is an exception for multiple submissions per PI only when institutions require oversight for efforts that involve Science PIs. The rules regarding interagency awards described in Section 1.1.1 of B.1 Heliophysics Research Program Overview and Section 7 apply to this program element. Proposals submitted to this program will be evaluated using a dual-anonymous review process. Proposals must be prepared according to the guidelines in Section 2.4.2 and in the associated "Guidelines for Proposers to ROSES DAPR Programs" document under "Other Documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element. All proposers are strongly encouraged to use the standard SMD template for the Open Science Data Management Plan see https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/OSDMP This synopsis is a generic summary that is posted for each of the many individual "program elements" in NASA’s Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2025 solicitation. For specific information on this particular program element download and read the PDF of the text of this program element by going to Tables 2 or 3 of ROSES at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table2 and https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table3, respectively, click the title of the program element of interest, a hypertext link will take you to a page for that particular program element. On that page, on the right side under "Announcement Documents" the link on the bottom will be to the PDF of the text of the call for proposals. For example, if one were interested in the Solar System Science program (NNH25ZDA001N-SCUBED) one would follow the link to the NSPIRES page for that program element and then to read the text of the call one would click on “C.2 Solar System Science (.pdf)” to download the text of the call. If one wanted to set it into the context of the goals, objectives and know the default rules for all elements within Appendix C, the planetary science division, one might download and read “C.1 Planetary Science Research Program Overview (.pdf)” from that same page. While the letters and numbers are different for each element within ROSES (A.10, B.3, etc.) the basic configuration is always the same, the letter indicates the Science Division (A is Earth Science, B is Heliophysics etc.) and whatever the letter, #1 is always the division overview. In 2025, most program elements will be set up for application via Grants.gov only if requested at least 30 days in advance of the due date. For more on Grants.gov submissions see Section IV(b)v of the ROSES Summary of Solicitation, that may be found at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2025 (OMB Approval Number 2700-0092, CFDA Number 43.001) on February 21, 2025.
