ROSES 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science

Summary

NASA Headquarters is soliciting research proposals under the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025 program, specifically for the A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science element. This program element supports time-sensitive and innovative research in Earth science, likely triggered by significant geophysical events or emerging scientific opportunities. The solicitation is open for an extended period spanning over a year, from July 2025 through August 2026, allowing for rolling or multiple submission windows typical of NASA ROSES omnibus solicitations.

What they want

How they evaluate

• Scientific merit
• Relevance to NASA Earth science objectives
• Qualifications of the research team (standard NASA ROSES criteria)

Risks & flags

• Extremely long open window (over 13 months) may indicate rolling/event-triggered submissions with unclear deadlines for specific calls
• Minimal detail provided in synopsis — full program element text not included, making it difficult to assess true scope and requirements
