Amendment 18: Due Dates Reset for A.9 User-Centered Applications with Large Earth Foundation Models
A.9 User-Centered Applications with Large Earth Foundation Models (EA FM) supports development of decision-support tools based on Prithvi-Earth Observation (EO) and Prithvi-Weather and Climate (WxC), large Earth foundation models developed jointly by NASA and IBM. Projects must advance the development of functional applications for a specific end user and decision-making need and incorporate end user feedback throughout the project’s duration. Projects must also address compelling topic areas that are relevant to Earth Science to Action. Projects that meet the needs of economic sectors (including, but not limited to insurance/re-insurance, real estate, infrastructure, and transportation) are especially encouraged to apply. Proposals must include an end user as a member of the project team.
Projects must start at Application Readiness Level (ARL) 3 or above and are expected to advance at least one ARL for every year of funding. Projects can last from one to three years, but priority may be given to projects that last up to two years and are expected to advance at least two ARLs.
ROSES-2025 Amendment 18 defers three dates for A.9 EA FM: The pre-proposal webinar will occur November 24, 2025, optional Notices of Intent are requested by December 4, 2025, and the new proposal due date is January 9, 2026. The Point of Contact has also been updated.
On or about November 17, 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 at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025
Questions concerning A.9 EA FM may be directed to Emily Sylak-Glassman at eglassman@nasa.gov.
