Description
This opportunity is a program element of NASA's annual omnibus Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES-2025) solicitation, specifically targeting research in the biosphere. The program supports basic and applied research that advances understanding of the biosphere, including terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric components, and their interactions with Earth's physical systems. Projects may address biodiversity, land cover and land use change, ocean biology and biogeochemistry, and terrestrial ecology, among other topics. Proposals are evaluated via a dual-anonymous peer review process to ensure fairness and merit-based selection.
