ROSES 2016: Solar System Workings
Deadline: Step-1 proposals due November 17, 2016; Step-2 proposals due February 23, 2017
The Solar System Workings program element supports research into atmospheric, climatological, dynamical, geologic, geophysical, and geochemical processes occurring on planetary bodies, satellites, and other minor bodies (including rings) in the Solar System. This call seeks to address the physical and chemical processes that affect the surfaces, interiors, atmospheres, exospheres, and magnetospheres of planetary bodies.
ROSES 2016: Astrophysics Research and Analysis (APRA)
Deadline: Notice of Intent due January 20, 2017; Proposal due March 17, 2017
The Astrophysics Research and Analysis Program (APRA) program solicits basic research proposals for investigations that are relevant to NASA’s programs in astronomy and astrophysics and includes research over the entire range of photons, gravitational waves, and particle astrophysics. Proposals for suborbital investigations are particularly encouraged.
ROSES 2016: Strategic Astrophysics Technology
Deadline: Notice of Intent due January 20, 2017; Proposal due March 17, 2017
Over the next decade and beyond, NASA’s Astrophysics Division expects to undertake space flight missions that will explore the nature of the universe at its largest scales, its earliest moments, and its most extreme conditions; missions that will study how galaxies and stars formed and evolved to shape the universe we see today; and missions that will search and characterize the planets and planetary systems orbiting other stars. To enable implementation of these missions, the NASA Science Mission Directorate’s Astrophysics Division has established the Strategic Astrophysics Technology (SAT) program to support the maturation of key technologies to the point at which they are feasible for implementation in space flight strategic missions.
ROSES 2016: Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science
Deadline: Rolling submissions through March 31, 2017
This program element solicits proposals that advance the goals and objectives of NASA’s Earth Science Division by conducting unique research to investigate 1) unforeseen or unpredictable Earth system events and opportunities that require rapid response, and 2) novel new ideas of potential high merit and relevance for ESD science that have not otherwise been solicited by NASA in the past three years.
