Who can apply

• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

Proposers must be affiliated with an institution at nspires.nasaprs.com/ and, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Organizations outside the U.S. that propose on the basis of a policy of no-exchange-of-funds; consult the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Manual (GCAM) (https://www.nasa.gov/grants-policy-and-compliance-team/#Regulations) for specific details. Some NRAs may be issued jointly with a non-U.S. organization, e.g., those concerning guest observing programs for jointly sponsored space science programs, that will contain additional special guidelines for non-U.S. participants. Also reference the GCAM for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.

What the agency says

The close date above is the date for the Step-2 proposal due date. The Step-1 proposal due date is September 4, 2026 . Step-2 proposals cannot be submitted if a Step-1 proposal was not submitted.

NOTICE: October 8, 2026. A requirement to budget for travel to an annual PI meeting to the furthest coast has been added to Section 4.2.1. New text is in bold.

NOTICE: September 18, 2026. Details on the redacted and anonymized budget requirements have been added to Table A.15-1 to make it consistent with Section 4.2.1, and the instructions regarding BioSketches and Current and Pending Support in Table A.15-2 have been improved. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through

NOTICE: August 4, 2026. Going forward, a $0.09/SBU charge now applies to all proposing to Earth Science (ROSES Appendix A) to use any NASA high-end computing resource. Proposers must account for this in their budget, per the instructions provided in Section 7.3 of ROSES-25 A.1 Earth Science Research Overview .

NOTICE: Amended July 20, 2026. This amendment adds this new program element to ROSES-2025. This element uses a two-step proposal process (Section 4). Step-1 proposals are due by September 4, 2026, and Step-2 proposals are due November 6, 2026. Any proposal not preceded by an on-time compliant Step-1 proposal will be returned without review. The page limit for the S/T/M section of Step-2 proposals is 12 pages. Proposers to this program element are strongly encouraged to use the optional Earth Science Division template for the required summary table of work effort of the proposal; templates are available at https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/templates-for-earth-science-division-appendix-a-roses-proposals. Proposals submitted to this program will be evaluated using dual anonymous peer review, see Section 4.3 of this program element.

NOTICE: Research security training required starting August 5, 2026. All PIs and any Co-Is that would spend ≥ 10% time on a proposed grants or cooperative agreements must certify they have taken research security training. NASA will be satisfied with the four online research security training modules on the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Research Security Training website at https://www.nsf.gov/research-security/training or the SECURE Center condensed version of the four modules at https://www.secure-center.org/ctm

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, e.g., 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 .
