ROSES-25: D.2 Astrophysics Data Analysis Final Text and Due Dates Released
4 December 2025
To enhance the scientific return on NASA mission investments, the ROSES D.2 Astrophysics Data Analysis Program (ADAP) provides support for investigations whose focus is on the analysis of archival data from NASA space astrophysics missions.
ROSES-2025 Amendment 26 announces the release of final text for this program element, which was previously TBD. Optional Notices of Intent (NOIs) are requested by 19 December 2025, while proposals are due by 30 January 2026.
Data releases from the Euclid mission that are fully public by the ADAP proposal deadline are eligible for ADAP investigations. This includes the Euclid Early Release Observations and Quick Release 1. This also includes regular SPHEREx data releases, as well as any other NASA mission data sets that are publicly released by the deadline. Moreover, archival data from the Chandra X-ray observatory may serve as the sole primary source of data for ADAP proposals.
The set of non-anonymized documents that were previously included in the "Expertise and Resources" part of the proposal are no longer required at proposal submission, but instead will be requested for proposals after provisional selections are made; see end of Section 2.
In lieu of a detailed budget, only a single page budget justification is requested. No NSPIRES-based budget is required, nor any Total Budget file uploaded. Proposals must instead identify the planned duration and cost cap under which the proposal is submitted as either small, medium, or large, see Section 3.
Please direct questions concerning D.2 ADAP to Pablo Saz Parkinson at pablo.sazparkinson@nasa.gov and Joshua Pepper at joshua.a.pepper@nasa.gov.
