About this archived opportunity

Please note that this program requests optional Notices of Intent, which are due via NSPIRES by 10/01/2025. See the full posting on NSPIRES for details. NOTICE: Amended November 14, 2025. This amendment resets the proposal due date for this program element, which was previously set to TBD because of the lapse in government funding. The new proposal due date is January 22, 2026. NOTICE: Amended November 7, 2025. This amendment changes to "TBD" the proposal due date for this program element. The solicitation "close date" shown in NSPIRES is NOT a new proposal due date; that is merely an artefact of the NSPIRES system. When funding is reinstated, an amendment will be issued setting a new due date. We anticipate that proposers to programs that were set to TBD will be given back as many business days as the government was shut down. 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.
