ROSES 2021: Emerging Worlds

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2021. This program element, Emerging Worlds, is one of the individual program elements within ROSES. The goal of this program is to support basic and applied research and technology in space and Earth sciences. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed. • Proposals may be submitted at any time, pending certain eligibility timing issues related to resubmissions and duplicate proposal avoidance. • The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. • Organizations of every type, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign (with some caveats), may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements.
