ROSES-25 Amendment 37: New Opportunity: C.12 Foundational Artificial Intelligence for the Moon and Mars

14 January 2026

C.12 Foundational Artificial Intelligence for the Moon and Mars (FAIMM) is intended to enable individual researchers to participate as members of teams who are designing science and exploration applications for large, general artificial intelligence (AI) models known as Foundation Models (FMs) for the Moon and Mars. These FMs harness large datasets to transform science and exploration on the Moon and Mars and can be applied to a range of AI and Machine Learning (ML) tasks. In this collaborative and interdisciplinary effort, selected participants will work with each other, existing project team members, and AI researchers and engineers. This program seeks to expand the personnel, skills and expertise, datasets, and science and exploration disciplines contributing to large AI models, and no prior AI/ML experience is required.

ROSES-2025 Amendment 37 presents C.12 FAIMM as a new program element in ROSES-2025. Neither Step-1 proposals nor NOIs are requested for this program element. Proposals are due by April 28, 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 C.12 FAIMM may be directed to Rebekah Dawson-Rigas at HQ-FAIMM@mail.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.
