Current ROSES Remains Open, Next ROSES in Late 2026

NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) has announced that its current Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) program, ROSES-25, will remain open for submissions. The next release of ROSES, ROSES-27, is expected to be published in late 2026. SMD traditionally releases ROSES annually, with the current edition having been released in July 2025. To stay informed about the release of ROSES-27, individuals can sign up for NASA's Science Mission Directorate General Subscription List via NSPIRES.

ROSES-27 will focus on research addressing fundamental questions about Earth and space, aligning with the President's National Space Policy and NASA's Ignition, Faster to Science, and Golden Age of Science initiatives. These initiatives aim to accelerate scientific discovery, enable bold research, and invest in the next generation of scientists. New opportunities are being added to ROSES-25, with several more anticipated in ROSES-27.

D.4 Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Networks (TCAN) has a Mandatory Notice of Opportunity (NOI) due on October 15, 2026, with proposals due on December 3, 2026. Other ROSES cycles, such as NuSTAR Cycle 13, Fermi Cycle 20, Swift Cycle 23, and TESS Cycle 10 Phase-1, have proposal deadlines on January 28, 2027, through the Astrophysics Research Knowledgebase Remote Proposal System (ARK RPS).

Questions regarding these ROSES-25 program elements should be directed to the respective program points of contact, as listed in the summary table of key information at the end of the PDF file.
