NASA ROSES-2026 To Be Released July 2026

In 2025, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released the annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation in July rather than February, the traditional target release date. For simplicity, consistency, and to maintain the annual schedule, SMD plans to release ROSES-2026 in July again this year rather than February.

ROSES-2025 will continue solicit until ROSES-26 is released.

ROSES-25 will be amended soon to extend the close date for the “no due date” and “flexible” due date program elements.

Questions about ROSES in general may be directed to Max Bernstein at [email protected]. Technical questions about individual ROSES-25 program elements should be directed to the point of contact in the summary table of key information at the end of the program element PDF.
