Additionally, check out the research opportunities page here for an exhaustive listing of other proposal and fellowship opportunities aligned with NASA astrophysics science: https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/programs/cosmic-origins/opportunities/

Hyperlinks on the proposal name will take you to the solicitation. Before you begin writing a proposal, read the solicitation to determine whether you are an eligible proposer, whether your science interests broadly align with the goals of the solicitation, and what will be required to write the full proposal. As a friendly reminder, copied below are opportunities with notices of intent (NOI) or proposal due dates that are upcoming. Please refer to the updated Astrophysics Combined General Investigator General Observer (AGIGO) Program document for the latest amendments.

D.3 Combined General Investigator General Observer Program
This Astrophysics General Investigator General Observer (AGIGO) program combines what were previously separate program elements for the Swift, Fermi, Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) observatories.

Against a black background, a peculiar galaxy is in the center and takes up most of the frame. This asymmetrical object has distorted spiral arms that extend to the left, above, and to the lower right. The galaxy’s arms are light orange and are not smooth or solid in texture, instead resembling blots and streaks of paint. The galaxy’s distorted spiral arms are overlaid by a light blue ridge of blurry blotches, which are brightest and heaviest in the center and fainter toward the left, ending before the orange areas. The blue blotches also extend to the bottom at the center and faintly toward the top center, but are not seen toward the right. A bright, almost-white orange point is near the center right and has a hazy halo surrounding it, taking up about a tenth of the image. Over the majority of the image is a semi-transparent, elliptical-shaped area that has a white, fuzzy glow.
