ROSES 2023: F.23 SMD Bridge Program Seed Funding

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is releasing its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2023. This opportunity is for the F.23 SMD Bridge Program Seed Funding, which is one of the individual program elements within ROSES. The program aims 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. 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. • Proposals may be submitted at any time, pending certain eligibility timing issues related to resubmissions and duplicate proposal avoidance. • The ROSES-24 version of this program element is planned to overlap with the ROSES-23 version, allowing continuous submission of proposals across ROSES years. • 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. • Tables listing the program elements and due dates, a table that provides a very top level summary of proposal contents, and the full text of the ROSES-2023 "Summary of Solicitation" may all be found on the NSPIRES website.
