Due Dates: May 23, 2025 (Astrophysics Data Analysis) | March 28, 2025 (Optional Notice of Intent)

Funding Amounts: Typical award duration 3 years; funding amount varies by proposal and program element.

Summary: Supports astrophysics data analysis research through NASA's ROSES 2025 solicitation with multiple program elements and specific application requirements.

Key Information: Proposers must download required forms and instructions from NSPIRES; applications primarily via NSPIRES with Grants.gov submissions possible if requested 30 days before due date.

Description

NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025 is an annual omnibus solicitation issued by the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) to fund a broad range of basic and applied research and technology development in space and Earth sciences. The D.2 program element specifically supports Astrophysics Data Analysis projects.

This funding opportunity covers multiple individual program elements, each with its own deadlines, topics, and requirements. Proposals are generally submitted through NASA's NSPIRES system, and applicants must retrieve and include required forms from the application package. Optional Notices of Intent are requested by March 28, 2025.

Awards under ROSES are typically grants, but cooperative agreements or contracts may be used depending on the nature of the work. The usual award period is three years, though some programs allow up to five years or shorter durations. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations such as government, academic, nonprofit, and private entities, both domestic and foreign (with some restrictions).

The solicitation provides detailed program element descriptions, instructions, and forms on NSPIRES and the ROSES 2025 website. Researchers interested in astrophysics data analysis should consult the specific D.2 program element documentation for detailed guidance.

Additional Information

The ROSES solicitation includes many program elements across different science divisions (Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, Astrophysics, etc.).
Each program element has its own detailed PDF describing goals, objectives, and application instructions, accessible via the ROSES tables on NSPIRES.
Researchers should review the division overview documents for context and default rules applicable to all elements within a division.
Updates, amendments, and FAQs are posted on the ROSES 2025 website and related NASA research pages.
Contact points for specific program elements are listed on the NSPIRES pages and NASA’s program officers list.
