Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST)

Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). FINESST provides NASA research grants for graduate students (Future Investigators), with a faculty mentor as Principal Investigator, for graduate student-designed and performed research projects in Earth and space science and technology.

5 of ROSES-25 solicits proposals from accredited U.S. universities and other eligible organizations for graduate student-designed and performed research projects that contribute to SMD's science, technology, and exploration goals.

The Future Investigator, i.e., the student, shall have the primary initiative to define the proposed FINESST research project and must be the primary author, with input or supervision from the proposal's Principal Investigator, as appropriate. ROSES-2025 Amendment 52 releases final text and due dates for Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) F. 5 of ROSES-25 , which was previously TBD.

Please see the file named F. 5 Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology final text (. pdf) on the right side of the NSPIRES page at https://go.

nasa. gov/FINESST25 . Neither a notice of intent nor a Step-1 proposal should be submitted.

Proposals are due July 14, 2026. An optional, pre-proposal webinar for all potential proposers will occur May 28 at 1 p. m.

Eastern Time, and the Earth Science Division optional office hours via Teams will occur June 23 and 24 at 1 p. m. Eastern Time.

See Section 12. 7 of the FINESST pdf for connect information for all of these events. On or about April 14, 2026, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025" (NNH25ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.
