NASA SMD ROSES-25 F.6 Science Activation: Corrections of Requirements for Budget Submission

The Science Mission Directorate Science Activation Program encourages all people to actively participate in science through activities and resources developed by a collaborative network of project teams drawing on NASA SMD assets (science content, experts, data, etc.).

The Science Activation program element (F.6 SciAct) of ROSES-25 solicits a portfolio of projects that together cover the full breadth of NASA science disciplines, operate across all 50 states plus U.S. territories, reach people of all ages and backgrounds, include both formal and informal learning organizations, and engage community partners to deepen and extend reach and impact.

NASA seeks a balance of: (1) projects that seek to broadly share resources and opportunities that leverage NASA assets, and (2) projects that seek to meet specific community (both geographically- and interest-based) needs through NASA assets.

On or about December 22, 2025, F.6 Science Activation was corrected regarding requirements for budget submission: the Table on Formatting Guidelines for Year 2-5 Budgets was moved from 3.3.2 to 3.3.4 and related corrections were made to Sections 2.5 and 3.3.2. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The due dates remain unchanged: Notices of intent to propose are requested by January 26, 2026, and proposals are due March 31, 2026.

On or about December 22, 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 and will appear on SARA’s ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2025/
