Description
D.10 Astrophysics Theory is a program element within NASA’s Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES)–2025 solicitation, administered by the Science Mission Directorate’s Astrophysics Division. Added by amendment on November 5, 2026, it provides an opportunity to propose astrophysics theory research within NASA’s broader portfolio of basic and applied supporting research and technology.
The D.10 program announcement defines the specific research opportunity. Applicants should read it alongside the D.1 Astrophysics Research Program Overview, which describes the division’s research activities and may impose additional proposal requirements, and the ROSES-2025 Summary of Solicitation, which sets common requirements across program elements. This competition uses dual-anonymous peer review.
