Due Dates: Continuous submission until June 2, 2025 (final close date) | Last day under ROSES-24 rules April 28, 2025
Funding Amounts: Typical award duration 3 years; some programs up to 5 years; funding amounts vary by project and program element
Summary: Supports open-source science projects in space and Earth sciences with continuous proposal submissions under ROSES-2024 and planned overlap with ROSES-2025.
Key Information: Proposals must follow specific eligibility and submission rules; required forms must be attached; multiple funding mechanisms including grants and cooperative agreements.
This opportunity is part of NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024 omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), managed by the Science Mission Directorate. The F.14 High Priority Open-Source Science program element funds projects that advance open-source science in space and Earth sciences. Proposals are accepted continuously, subject to eligibility timing rules to avoid duplicate submissions and resubmissions.
The ROSES-2024 NRA includes over 100 individual program elements, each with its own topics and deadlines. This particular element allows for continuous submission of proposals until June 2, 2025, with the last day for submission under ROSES-24 rules being April 28, 2025. The ROSES-25 version will overlap with ROSES-24 for a few weeks to enable continuous proposal submission across years.
Awards are typically made as grants but may also be cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter/intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the work and the proposing organization. The usual award period is three years, though some programs allow up to five years or shorter durations.
NASA encourages proposals from a wide range of organizations including government, private, for-profit, and not-for-profit entities, both domestic and foreign, with some caveats. Teaming arrangements are generally unrestricted.
Applicants must carefully follow the instructions, including retrieving and attaching required forms from the application package. The program element text and appendices provide detailed guidance on eligibility, submission rules, and proposal preparation.
