Astrophysics Research and Analysis (ROSES 2025) | Research Funding National Aeronautics and Space Administration Astrophysics Research and Analysis (ROSES 2025) The Astrophysics Research and Analysis Program (APRA) solicits basic research proposals for investigations that are relevant to NASA's programs in astronomy and astrophysics and includes research over the entire range of photons, gravitational waves, and particle astrophysics.
Awards may be for up to four years’ duration (up to five years for suborbital and CubeSat investigations), but shorter-term proposals are typical; four-year or five-year proposals must be well justified. APRA investigations may advance technologies anywhere along the full line of readiness levels, from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 1 through TRL 9.
The TRL definitions are articulated in detail in NASA Systems Engineering Processes and Requirement (NPR) 7123. 1D Appendix E https://nodis3. gsfc.

t=NPR&c=7123&s=1D (updated on July 5, 2023). The emphasis of this program element is on technologies and investigations that advance NASA astrophysics missions and goals.
For the long-term future, these missions and goals will be guided based on the recommendations of the 2020 Decadal Survey Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s, which identifies the most compelling science goals and presents an ambitious program of space-based activities for NASA investment. Mandatory NOI: Jun.
25, 2026 Proposals relevant to the APRA program are those that address the best possible (i) state-of-the-art detector technology development that is directly applicable to incorporation in future space astrophysics missions; (ii) science and/or technology investigations that can be carried out with instruments flown as suborbital-class payloads on balloon-borne, sounding rocket, or other platforms, or as CubeSats; or (iii) supporting technology or laboratory research that are directly applicable to space astrophysics missions.
Accordingly, proposals are solicited in the following six broad categories: • Suborbital Investigations (balloons, sounding rockets, reusable launch) • Laboratory Astrophysics • Astrophysics U.S. Participating Investigators Engineering and Physical Sciences Environmental & Life Sciences

NASA says ROSES-27 will be out no later than January 2027 with about 50 program elements, after ROSES-2026 never appeared. On October 27, nine organizations including AAS, AGU, APS, AAU and APLU asked NASA to rescind Amendment 59's political-review, termination-for-convenience and low-indirect-rate preference language. Here is what is still open under ROSES-25 and how to plan.
Read articleNASA posted the FY2027 EPSCoR Basic Research CAN (NNH27ZHA001C) on October 30, 2026: about $21 million for 28 three-year awards of roughly $750,000, two proposals per jurisdiction, 50% cost share, and a February 1, 2027 deadline. Here's what the months-long delay changed, who can still get in, and how proposals are scored.
Read articleSTRI26 offers $13 million over five years to a single multi-university team, requires a minimum of three U.S. institutions of higher education, and gates everything behind a mandatory preliminary proposal due November 3, 2026. Here is what a one-award competition actually asks of you.
