ROSES25: A.13 Accelerating Earth Solutions

NOTICE: August 4, 2026. Going forward, a $0.09/SBU charge now applies to all proposing to Earth Science (ROSES Appendix A) to use any NASA high-end computing resource. Proposers must account for this in their budget, per the instructions provided in Section 7.3 of ROSES-25 A.1 Earth Science Research Overview . NOTICE: July 28, 2026. A set of slides describing the Application Readiness Levels (ARLs) has been posted under "other documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element. Text regarding ARLs has been added to a few locations in Section 2 and a row has been added to the Summary Table of Key information in Section 4. New Text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. We anticipate posting a FAQ under "other documents" after the pre-proposal teleconference on August 31, at 1 pm Eastern Time. NOTICE: Amended July 17, 2026. This amendment presents a new program element in ROSES-2025. Proposals are due October 15, 2026. The pre-proposal teleconference will be held on August 31, at 1 pm Eastern Time on a no-advance-reservation, first-to-dial-in basis. Teleconference information will be posted under other documents on the NSPIRES page for this program element approximately 2 weeks after the element release. This new program element solicits a broad range of research and applications including topics from what were previously individual program elements (agriculture, disaster resilience, natural resources, health and air quality, water resources, wildland fire, energy systems, and resilient infrastructure). The S/T/M Section of the anonymized proposals is limited to ten (10) pages, see Section 3.1 of this program element. Proposals submitted to this program will be evaluated using dual-anonymous review. Proposal documents must be prepared according to the guidelines in Section 3.2 and in the associated "Guidelines for Proposers to ROSES DAPR Programs" document under "Other Documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element. NOTICE: Research security training required starting August 5, 2026. All PIs and any Co-Is that would spend ≥ 10% time on a proposed grants or cooperative agreements must certify they have taken research security training. NASA will be satisfied with the four online research security training modules on the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Research Security Training website at https://www.nsf.gov/research-security/training or the SECURE Center condensed version of the four modules at https://www.secure-center.org/ctm This synopsis is a generic summary that is posted for each of the many individual "program elements" in NASA’s Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2025 solicitation. For specific information on this particular program element download and read the PDF of the text of this program element by going to Tables  2  or  3  of ROSES at  https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table2 and  https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table3 , respectively, click the title of the program element of interest, a hypertext link will take you to a page for that particular program element. On that page, on the right side under "Announcement Documents" the link on the bottom will be to the PDF of the text of the call for proposals. For example, if one were interested in the Solar System Science program (NNH25ZDA001N-SCUBED) one would follow  the link to the NSPIRES page for that program element  and then to read the text of the call one would click on “C.2 Solar System Science (.pdf)”   to download the text of the call. If one wanted to set it into the context of the goals, objectives and know the default rules for all elements within Appendix C, the planetary science division, one might download and read “ C.1 Planetary Science Research Program Overview (.pdf) ” from that same page.   While the letters and numbers are different for each element within ROSES (A.10, B.3, etc.) the basic configuration is always

Proposers must be affiliated with an institution at nspires.nasaprs.com/ and, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Organizations outside the U.S. that propose on the basis of a policy of no-exchange-of-funds; consult the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Manual (GCAM) (https://www.nasa.gov/grants-policy-and-compliance-team/#Regulations) for specific details. Some NRAs may be issued jointly with a non-U.S. organization, e.g., those concerning guest observing programs for jointly sponsored space science programs, that will contain additional special guidelines for non-U.S. participants. Also reference the GCAM for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
