Amendment 81: New Opportunity: Astrophysics Theory Program
The Astrophysics Theory Program (ATP; D.10 of ROSES-25) supports efforts to develop the basic theory for NASA’s space astrophysics programs. The proposed work submitted for this program must both: ATP proposals satisfying both of the above requirements may involve development of data analysis methods for astrophysics missions and may incidentally include actual data analysis as […] The post…
NASA's Astrophysics Theory Program, identified as D.10 of ROSES-25, has announced a new opportunity through Amendment 81. This program aims to advance basic theory in NASA's space astrophysics initiatives, with research proposals required to directly contribute to either interpreting data from space astrophysics missions or to enable predictions testable via such observations. Crucially, ATP proposals must primarily consist of theoretical astrophysics studies or the development of models within this field.
The opportunity presented by Amendment 81 is fresh, as it is a new addition to the existing ROSES-25 cycle. Unlike previous opportunities, this one does not solicit Notices of Intent (NOIs) or Step-1 Proposals. Instead, interested researchers must submit their full proposals by February 3, 2027. For any queries regarding the details of the D.10 ATP, interested parties are encouraged to reach out to Sanaz Vahidinia at HQ-ATP@mail.nasa.gov.
This new opportunity marks an exciting prospect for astrophysicists keen to contribute to NASA's space astrophysics goals through innovative theoretical research.
