Opportunity Listing - ROSES 2025: Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science ROSES 2025: Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science Agency: NASA Headquarters Assistance Listings: 43. 001 -- Science Last Updated: December 12, 2025 View version history on Grants. gov NOTICE: Amended: December 12, 2025.
Section I(e) on High-End Computing Resources was updated, a warning about "portfolio" PDFs was added to Section IV(b)ii, and a statement about public disclosure of proposal information was added to the end of Section V(e). NOTICE: November 13, 2025. During the lapse in funding, several ROSES-25 due dates were changed to "TBD" in Tables 2 and 3 of ROSES-25 .
Now that we are back at work, we will be resetting the due dates over the coming days. Please be patient. When a due date is reset, it will be announced via Amendment to ROSES with a notice sent to the SMD NSPIRES mailing list and a post to the ROSES-25 Blog at https://science.
nasa. gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2025/ NOTICE: October 1, 2025. There has been a lapse in funding.
As long as the lapse in funding continues, civil servant points of contact for NASA programs will be unable to respond. NSPIRES help at (202) 479-9376 and nspires-help@nasaprs. com will still be active during this period.
If the lapse in funding continues, future mandatory due dates (i.e., those other than optional NOIs) will be changed to "TBD" in Tables 2 and 3 of ROSES-25 a few business days before the next due date. When funding is reinstated, amendments will be issued setting new due dates. Proposers to programs that were set to TBD will be given back at least as many business days as the government was shut down.
NOTICE: Amended July 15, 2025. ROSES-25 Amendment 1 announces restrictions on funding of interagency awards from most proposal opportunities in ROSES-25: Appendix A (Earth Science) of ROSES-25 already had a prohibition on funding to government agencies other than NASA. Appendix C, (Planetary Science) has also adopted this prohibition.
Appendix B (Heliophysics), Appendix D (Astrophysics), and F. 3 The Exoplanet Research Program have not applied an outright prohibition, but require that any proposer planning on funding for or through government agencies other than NASA must seek approval from the point of contact for the program element to which they are planning to propose. D.
1 The Astrophysics Research Program Overview notes that approvals for interagency awards for less than $100k per year are unlikely to be granted, regardless of whether the Federal Agency is the submitting institution or a Co-I institution. For more information, see the research program overviews (A. 1 – D.
1 & F. 1) and Sections I(d)i and III(a) of the ROSES-25 Summary of Solicitation. New text is in bold and, where applicable, deleted text is struck through.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) announces that its annual NASA Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2025 (OMB Approval Number 2700-0092) was released on July 10 , 2025 . ROSES is an omnibus NRA, with 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. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements.
However, it is NASA policy that all research at non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. This ROSES-2025 NRA will be available on its release or about July 10, 2025 , at https://solicitation. nasaprs.
com/ROSES2025 . Tables 2 and 3 of this NRA, which will be posted at https://solicitation. nasaprs.
com/ROSES2025table2 and https://solicitation. nasaprs. com/ROSES2025table3 , respectively, provide proposal due dates and hypertext links to descriptions of the solicited program elements in the Appendices of this NRA.
Since ROSES has traditionally received very few proposals via Grants. gov in the past, most program elements will be set up for application via Grants. gov only if requested at least 30 days in advance of the proposal due date.
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 Grantor contact information Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate Direct questions about this funding announcement to: No documents are currently available.

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.
