Current Solicitations

The NASA Science Mission Directorate solicits project proposals through the NASA Research Announcement entitled Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES). Since 2005, the annual ROSES solicitation encompasses all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences for the NASA Science Mission Directorate. ROSES serves as a joint, overarching announcement that encompasses all the programs within the Science Mission Directorate. Each program has one or more elements within ROSES to specify topics and solicit proposals supporting its objectives.
