The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is seeking proposals for its annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) - 2025 program. This omnibus NASA Research Announcement (NRA) covers a wide range of basic and applied research and technology development in space and Earth sciences, including areas such as astrophysics, planetary science, heliophysics, and Earth system science. Applicants of all types, 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. 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.
Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts, with most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES being grants. The funding levels and performance periods vary, with awards typically ranging from approximately $30,000 to over $600,000. The research is expected to be conducted at the recipients' facilities, covering a diverse set of scientific domains aligned with NASA's strategic goal of scientific exploration and understanding.
