Notices

• NOTICE: October 1, 2025. There has been a lapse in funding. As long as the lapse in funding continues, civil servant points of contact for NASA programs will be unable to respond. NSPIRES help at (202) 479-9376 and nspires-help@nasaprs.com will still be active during this period. If the lapse in funding continues, future mandatory due dates (i.e., those other than optional NOIs) will be changed to "TBD" in Tables 2 and 3 of ROSES-25 a few business days before the next due date. When funding is reinstated, amendments will be issued setting new due dates. Proposers to programs that were set to TBD will be given back at least as many business days as the government was shut down.
• NOTICE: Amended July 15, 2025. ROSES-25 Amendment 1 announces restrictions on funding of interagency awards from most proposal opportunities in ROSES-25: Appendix A (Earth Science) of ROSES-25 already had a prohibition on funding to government agencies other than NASA. Appendix C, (Planetary Science) has also adopted this prohibition. Appendix B (Heliophysics), Appendix D (Astrophysics), and F.3 The Exoplanet Research Program have not applied an outright prohibition, but require that any proposer planning on funding for or through government agencies other than NASA must seek approval from the point of contact for the program element to which they are planning to propose.
• D.1 The Astrophysics Research Program Overview notes that approvals for interagency awards for less than $100k per year are unlikely to be granted, regardless of whether the Federal Agency is the submitting institution or a Co-I institution. For more information, see the research program overviews (A.1 -- D.1 & F.1) and Sections I(d)i and III(a) of the ROSES-25 Summary of Solicitation. New text is in bold and, where applicable, deleted text is struck through.
• ROSES-2025 is an omnibus NASA Research Announcement. It contains ~35 different proposal opportunities. The document 'Summary of Solicitation' describes the common requirements for all ROSES-2025 proposal opportunities. Table 1 presents summary information about generalized proposal content. The documents 'Table 2' and 'Table 3' contain the list of all proposal opportunities and their due dates. Proposers interested in a single proposal opportunity may find the home page for that proposal opportunity by opening 'Table 2' (sorted by proposal due date) or 'Table 3' (sorted by appendix number) to the right and clicking on the appropriate hyperlink.
• Any amendments to ROSES-2025 may be found by opening 'Amendments'. Any clarifications, or corrections will be tracked in the "Corrections and Clarifications" document. All ROSES documents are kept up to date and incorporate amendments, clarifications, and corrections in a clearly identifiable manner. Persons with NSPIRES accounts can sign up to receive email about all ROSES amendments (and other solicitation opportunities) by accessing 'Account Management', 'Email Subscription lists' and adding the SMD General Subscription list.
