ROSES 2025: D.4 Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Networks
NASA’s ROSES 2025 D.4 program funds theoretical and computational astrophysics network proposals, with NOIs due Oct 15, 2026 and full proposals due Dec 3, 2026, evaluated via dual-anonymous peer review.
Funder: NASA Headquarters
Due Dates: October 15, 2026 (Mandatory NOI) | December 3, 2026 (Full proposal)
Funding Amounts: Grants and cooperative agreements; no cost sharing or matching required
Summary: Supports theoretical and computational astrophysics networks with a focus on time-domain multi-messenger astrophysics.
Key Information: All PIs and Co-Is committing at least 10% time must certify completion of research security training.
Description
The Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Networks program is an Astrophysics Division opportunity within NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, offered through Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025. This program element focuses on time-domain multi-messenger astrophysics within theoretical and computational astrophysics networks. ROSES supports basic and applied research and technology across NASA’s space and Earth science portfolio, with individual program elements defining their own research topics and requirements.
The final call includes several major changes from the previous 2022 opportunity. Proposals will undergo enhanced dual-anonymous peer review. Applicants should use the corrected D.4 program text together with the D.1 Astrophysics Research Program Overview and the ROSES Summary of Solicitation, which establish program-specific, division-level, and common proposal requirements.
