ROSES-25 Amendment 1: Restrictions on Interagency Awards

ROSES-2025 Amendment 1 announces restrictions on funding of interagency awards from most proposal opportunities of ROSES-25. For more information, see the research program overviews (A.1 – D.1 & F.1) and Sections I(d)i and III(a) of the ROSES-25 Summary of Solicitation.

Appendix A (Earth Science) of ROSES-25 already had a prohibition on funding to government agencies than NASA. That wording has been clarified. Appendix C, (Planetary Science) has also adopted this prohibition. Appendix B (Heliophysics), Appendix D (Astrophysics), and F.3 The Exoplanet Research Program have not applied that outright prohibition, but require any proposer planning on funding for or through government agencies than NASA seek approval from the point of contact for the program element to which they are planning to propose. D.1 The Astrophysics Research Program Overview notes that approvals for interagency awards for less than $100k per year are unlikely to be granted, regardless of whether the Other Federal Agency is the submitting institution or a sub-awardee. New text is in bold and, where applicable, deleted text is struck through.

On or about July 15, 2025, 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 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
