The "ROSES 2024: F.14 High Priority Open-Source Science" opportunity is a part of NASA's annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) omnibus announcement. This initiative supports a wide array of research and technology development in Earth and space sciences, including high-priority projects that align with NASA's open science mission. The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding and supports work through grants or cooperative agreements. Awards typically span three years but can extend to five depending on project specifics.
Eligible applicants must be affiliated with U.S. institutions registered with NSPIRES, though some non-U.S. organizations may participate under specific terms like no-exchange-of-funds arrangements. Proposals may be submitted on a rolling basis with the current final deadline set for April 28, 2025, and the next cycle (ROSES-25) anticipated to begin shortly after. 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.
