ROSES-2026 to be Released July 2026

23 January 2026

In 2025, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released the annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation in July rather than February, the traditional target release date. For simplicity, consistency, and to maintain the annual schedule, SMD plans to release ROSES-2026 in July again this year rather than February.

ROSES-2025 will continue solicit until ROSES-26 is released.

ROSES-25 will be amended soon to extend the close date for the “no due date” and “flexible” due date program elements.

Questions about ROSES in general may be directed to Max Bernstein at SARA@nasa.gov. Technical questions about individual ROSES-25 program elements should be directed to the point of contact in the summary table of key information at the end of the program element PDF.

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.
