ROSES-25 Amendment 36: New Program Element: F.19 Collaborative Opportunities for Mentorship, Partnership, and Academic Success in Science

14 January 2026

F.19 Collaborative Opportunities for Mentorship, Partnership and Academic Success in Science (COMPASS)funds collaborations between NASA Centers and academic institutions that will advance NASA’s scientific priorities and train the future STEM workforce. COMPASS prioritizes collaborations with academic institutions that have not traditionally been funded by NASA as part of an effort to provide funding to a broad range of recipients rather than to a select group of repeat players. COMPASS prioritizes research that reflect NASA and the Administration’s priorities and advance the Science Mission Directorate and NASA’s research goals. COMPASS creates undergraduate and graduate student research opportunities that provide professional development opportunities for students that help to build the United States’ STEM workforce.

ROSES-2025 Amendment 36 presents a new program element in ROSES-2025. Notices of Intent are not requested. Proposals are due by March 20, 2026.

On or about January 13, 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 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2025/

Questions concerning F.19 COMPASS may be directed to Steven Villanueva at steven.villanueva@nasa.gov

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.
