Who can apply

This opportunity was open to the applicants described in the notice.

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 Proposer’s Guide (https://www.nasa.gov/general/grants-policy-and-compliance-team/ - section-2) 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 Proposer’s Guide for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.

What the grant funds

NOTICE: Amended March 31, 2025. This amendment clarifies the eligibility criteria for Fundamental Physics Investigation in Section 2.2.4. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The due date for Step-2 proposals have been delayed: Step-2 proposals are now due June 2, 2025. NOTICE: Amended January 28, 2025. The due dates for Step-1 and Step-2 proposals have been delayed: Step-1 proposals are now due February 25, 2025, and Step-2 proposals are now due May 20, 2025. Additionally, eligibility criteria have been added to Section 1, the eligibility of applicants for New NASA Investigators in Section 2.2.2 has been clarified, and in Section 3.2.2.3, the link for the BPS Data Management Policy has been replaced with the link for the BPS Data Management Webpage, that houses the policy document in question. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The close date above is the date for the Step-1 proposal submission. See the solicitation for the Step-2 due date. Step-2 proposals cannot be submitted if a Step-1 proposal was not submitted. Proposers must retrieve the instructions document (zip file) associated with the application package for this opportunity as there is at least one required form that must be attached to the submitted proposal package. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2024 (OMB Approval Number 2700-0092, CFDA Number 43.001) on February 14, 2024. In this case "omnibus" means that this NRA has many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. All together these cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by SMD. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. However, most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants, and many program elements of ROSES specifically exclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods.
