New York University has been awarded a $375,703 grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to support research initiatives under the ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity. The award, dated January 14, 2025, with completion targeted for January 13, 2027, supports NYU's work in executing a balanced science program aligned with National Academies guidance and agency priorities. The research will focus on scientific exploration of and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, while also advancing discovery in emerging cross-disciplinary fields and developing applied programs in areas such as Earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness. This grant represents a non-competitive award with no set-aside designation, reflecting NYU's established capabilities as a research institution.

The award will be performed at NYU's New York, NY location and falls within the context of the agency's broader exploration and science initiatives. As a prominent research university with extensive federal funding experience across multiple agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Department of Energy, NYU brings substantial expertise in advanced scientific research and interdisciplinary collaboration. This grant complements NYU's existing federal portfolio, which includes research in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, materials science, and other cutting-edge domains, positioning the institution to deliver high-impact research outcomes across the specified scientific and exploratory objectives.

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. Participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency s exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the moon, lunar orbit, mars, and beyond. Advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines develop a directorate-wide, target-user focused approach to applied programs, including earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness.
