  • Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2022 Released! ROSES is an omnibus solicitation with many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. From the NSPIRES website, you can view the list of opportunities in Table 2 (organized by due date) or Table 3 (organized by subject matter) including hyperlinks to element descriptions in the Appendices. You can also view the list of open program elements here. Together, these program elements cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Visit the ROSES blog for more information. Here are a few of the many ROSES opportunities:    
    1. A.32 Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics solicits research using NASA data to advance our understanding of processes relevant to The Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics Focus Area. There are no limitations on the spatial and geographic scope of solicited efforts, but studies must link to meteorological and tropospheric phenomena. Proposed research should target processes that are relevant to the spatiotemporal cadence of the observations; however, the incorporation of methods that enable use of study observations to understand multi-scale phenomena is not precluded. Proposals must explicitly focus on remote sensing, and may utilize observations, reanalyses, assimilation, and model capabilities to perform the proposed science. This program element consists of two topical sub-elements: 1) Exploitation of Airborne Field Campaign Measurements, which targets the modern analysis of historic NASA airborne field campaign data with explicit links to NASA satellite data and 2) Characterizing and Understanding Uncertainty in the Atmosphere, aimed at increasing our understanding of NASA observations and the Earth system by improving the utilization of uncertainty estimates throughout the scientific process. Notices of intent are requested by September 16, 2022, and proposals are due November 2, 2022.  
    1. F.2 Topical Workshops, Symposia, and Conferences (TWSC F.12 of ROSES) solicitation. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) solicits proposals for events, including asynchronous and virtual workshops, Open-Source Initiatives, etc., that contribute to SMD’s equity, science, technology and exploration goals. Because there is no central or dedicated TWSC funding, proposal submission requires designation of at least one reviewing program, division or office. Proposals that are relevant to more than one part of SMD also are welcome. Awards may be grants, cooperative agreements, intra-NASA transfers, or inter-agency agreements, as appropriate. This amendment releases the final text for F.2 TWSC, which had been listed as “TBD.” As a no due date or rolling submissions competition, TWSC proposals may be submitted at any time through May 12, 2023TWSC does not accept Notices of Intent, but potential proposers must confirm the event’s topical relevancy and availability of funds before preparing or submitting a proposal to one or more SMD program officer listed here. General questions concerning may be directed to the coordinating point of contact at mary.f.sladek@nasa.gov.    
    1. A.51 Applications-Oriented Augmentation for Research and Analysis The Earth Science Research and Analysis (R&A) and Applied Sciences programs are collaborating to support current R&A investigators in enabling them to work across the traditional boundaries between research and applications by adding end-user and stakeholder engagement to existing work to support “research to applications” and/or “applications to research” activities. This effort is intended to develop the capacity of investigators to work with end users. R&A will provide financial support and the Applied Sciences Program will provide guidance and resources to help investigators work with end-users and direct their research towards decision making applications. Proposals may be submitted at any time throughout the year until March 29, 2023.    
    1. B.20 Heliophysics Tools and Methods (HTM) program solicits proposals to advance the goal of a robust, vital, and cohesive Python environment for Heliophysics through Solar, Heliospheric, Magnetosphere, and Ionosphere/Thermosphere/Mesosphere. Proposals may be submitted at any time throughout the year until March 29, 2023.
