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

NOTICE: September 18, 2026. The instructions regarding Biographical Sketches and Current and Pending Support in Table C.4-2 have been improved. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through

NOTICE: Corrected July 29, 2026. Accidentally omitted standard budget requirements have been added to Table C.4-3 and Sections 3.3.3 and 3.5. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The due date remains unchanged: Proposals are due November 10, 2026.

NOTICE: Amended July 21, 2026. This amendment adds to ROSES-2025 this program element which was previously listed as not solicited this year. Proposals are due November 10, 2026. New this year: no Step-1 or Notice of Intent is requested. New this year: Proposals to this program element will be evaluated using a dual-anonymous peer review process. See guidelines in Section 3.13 of C.1, and in the associated "Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document under "Other Documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element for the preparation of anonymous proposals.

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

NOTICE: ROSES-25 Amendment 7 makes the following changes to C.1 the Planetary Research Overview: It establishes funding threshold and submission requirements for substantial instrument or equipment requests (Section 3.11), removes the estimated page limit for pilot studies (Section 3.4) and clarifies text on use of spacecraft mission data (Section 3.5). New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. A Planetary Science Overview FAQ has been posted under other documents on NSPIRES pages for all of Appendix C.

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 .

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. In this case "omnibus" means that this NRA has many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. All together these cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology supported by SMD. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts depending on the nature of the work proposed. However, most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants, and many program elements of ROSES specifically exclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited. Funded Co-Is at government labs will receive inter- or intra-agency transfers . The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. In most cases, organizations of every type, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign (with some caveats), may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Tables listing the program elements and due dates (Tables  2  and  3 ), a table that provides a very top level summary of proposal contents ( Table 1 ), and the full text of the ROSES-2025 "Summary of Solicitation", may all be found NSPIRES at  https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025 .
