NASA ROSES-23 Amendment 32: D.16 Astrophysics Decadal Survey Precursor Science Final Text and Due Dates

The Astrophysics Decadal Survey Precursor Science (ADSPS, D.16) program supports research in areas related to the recommendations from the National Academy of Science and Engineering report, “Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s” for 1) a large Infrared/Optical/Ultraviolet space mission to search for biosignatures from nearby exoplanets and to perform transformative astrophysics investigations, 2) a large Far Infrared mission, and 3) a large X-ray mission. Research proposals to ADSPS should describe how scientific progress in the areas being investigated will either reduce the design and development risk for one or more of these future large missions or help to define the requirements such missions must meet to enable transformative discoveries.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 32 releases final text and due dates for D.16 ADSPS. Mandatory NOIs are due March 29, 2024, and proposals are due April 26, 2024.

On or about July 7, 2023, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2023” (NNH23ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023 and will appear on SARA’s ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2023/
