Description
This funding opportunity, part of NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) omnibus solicitation, supports research focused on the Earth's cryosphere—including snow, ice, and frozen ground processes—using NASA data, models, and resources. The program aims to advance scientific knowledge of cryospheric processes, their interactions with the broader Earth system, and their response to climate change. Awards are made as grants or cooperative agreements, and proposals are subject to dual anonymous peer review. This specific opportunity is managed by NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Earth Science Division.
