Amendment 46: D.6 APRA and D.7 SAT TBD Placeholders Created, Plan to Solicit in ROSES-25
D.6 Astrophysics Research and Analysis Program (APRA) solicits basic research proposals for investigations that are relevant to NASA's programs in astronomy and astrophysics and includes research over the entire range of photons, gravitational waves, and particle astrophysics.
D.7 Strategic Astrophysics Technology (SAT) is designed to support the maturation of key technologies for which feasibility has already been demonstrated (i.e., TRL 3), for potential infusion in spaceflight missions (TRL 6).
ROSES-2025 Amendment 46. Due to the delay in release of ROSES-26, NASA’s Astrophysics Division intends to solicit proposals for both APRA and SAT program elements in ROSES-25, with an anticipated due date in late spring. TBD placeholder text has been posted on the NSPIRES pages for APRA and SAT, respectively.
On or about February 9, 2026, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025" (NNH25ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025
Questions concerning APRA may be directed to David C. Morris at David.C.Morris@nasa.gov.
Questions concerning SAT may be directed to Dominic Benford at Dominic.Benford@nasa.gov.
