This file is a NASA solicitation announcement for the ROSES 2025: D.4 Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Networks program, which supports cooperative agreements and grants for theoretical and computational astrophysics research. Mandatory Notices of Intent are due October 15, 2026, with full proposals due December 3, 2026. The program is administered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Headquarters under CFDA 43.001 (Science) and employs enhanced dual-anonymous peer review for proposal evaluation. Eligible applicants must be U.S. institutions registered in NSPIRES; limited participation by non-U.S. organizations is permitted under a no-exchange-of-funds policy with special guidelines detailed in the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Manual. Principal investigators and co-investigators at 10 percent or higher effort must complete research security training certification prior to submission.

Proposals will be evaluated on intrinsic merit—including scientific quality, technical quality with project management plans, personnel qualifications and expertise, and facility/resource adequacy—as well as relevance to NASA's strategic objectives and cost reasonableness. The program represents significant changes from the prior 2022 opportunity, and proposers are instructed to review the final program text carefully. Instructions regarding biographical sketches and Current and Pending Support were updated September 18, 2026. Award ceilings, number of awards, period of performance, and detailed program objectives are available in the full PDF program element text on the ROSES 2025 NSPIRES page. Assistance is available through the NASA Points of Contact listed in the announcement.
