NASA ROSES-25 Amendment 1: Restrictions on Interagency Awards
ROSES-2025 Amendment 1 announces restrictions on funding of interagency awards from most proposal opportunities of ROSES-25. For more information, see the research program overviews (A.1 – D.1 & F.1) and Sections I(d)i and III(a) of the ROSES-25 Summary of Solicitation.Appendix A (Earth Science) of ROSES-25 already had a prohibition on funding to government agencies than NASA. That wording has been clarified. Appendix C, (Planetary Science) has also adopted this prohibition. Appendix B (Heliophysics), Appendix D (Astrophysics), and F.3 The Exoplanet Research Program have not applied that outright prohibition, but require any proposer planning on funding for or through government agencies than NASA seek approval from the point of contact for the program element to which they are planning to propose. D.1 The Astrophysics Research Program Overview notes that approvals for interagency awards for less than $100k per year are unlikely to be granted, regardless of whether the Other Federal Agency is the submitting institution or a subawardee. New text is in bold and, where applicable, deleted text is struck through.
