About this award
The SETI Institute has been awarded a grant valued at approximately $766K by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to support research under the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) funding program. The award, effective January 1, 2025, extends through December 31, 2027, and carries no socioeconomic set-aside designation. The ROSES program aims to execute a balanced science portfolio aligned with National Academies guidance and agency priorities, with particular emphasis on exploration-focused research related to the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The program also seeks to advance discovery in emerging cross-disciplinary fields and develop applications-focused approaches in areas including Earth science, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness.
The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was selected based on technical merit for this research grant. The institute brings substantial expertise in astrobiology, planetary science, astronomy, and space exploration research, with an established track record of supporting NASA and other federal agencies. The organization's prior work has encompassed scientific instrumentation development, data analysis, computational modeling, and advanced research methodologies across planetary exploration domains. Performance of this grant will occur at the institute's Mountain View, California facility.
Description
The roses funding opportunity goals are: execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the national academies of sciences, engineering, and medicine, administration priorities, and direction from congress.
