ROSES 2025: A.9 Ocean Salinity Science Team
This funding opportunity supports U.S. institutions conducting research on ocean salinity and its effects on climate and ocean circulation, utilizing NASA satellite data to improve scientific understanding and climate models.
The ROSES 2025: A.9 Ocean Salinity Science Team funding opportunity is part of NASA’s Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025 solicitation. This program focuses on scientific research related to ocean salinity, its role in Earth’s climate system, and its impact on ocean circulation. The initiative supports projects that utilize NASA’s satellite data and observational research to enhance the understanding of ocean salinity variability and its broader implications. Successful applicants will collaborate with NASA’s Earth Science Division to advance oceanographic research and improve climate models. Eligible applicants include U.S. institutions, while non-U.S. organizations may participate under a no-exchange-of-funds policy, following NASA’s grant regulations. The program offers grants and cooperative agreements with a typical performance period of three years, though some awards may extend up to five years. While there is no stated award ceiling or floor, funding will be allocated based on proposal merit and research significance. Notices of Intent are encouraged but not mandatory and must be submitted by August 1, 2025. Applications are due by September 4, 2025.

Additional Requirements
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 Proposers 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 Proposers Guide for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
