Resetting ROSES Due Dates After the Government Shutdown
To the NASA Science Community,
Now that NASA SMD has returned to normal operations, we are working to reset the proposal
deadlines for ROSES-25<https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025> programs that
were impacted by the recent funding lapse. This includes both deadlines that were changed
to "TBD" and other near-term deadlines that are no longer viable.
Our goal is to balance fairness to proposers, allowing sufficient time to recover and
complete work, with the critical operational need to keep our review panels and missions
on schedule.
To that end, we are implementing the following policy for resetting deadlines:
* Default Policy: As a simple and standard baseline, most impacted deadlines will be
delayed by a minimum of 30 days.
* Exception Clause: In a few specific cases, a new deadline may be set with a delay of
fewer than 30 days. These exceptions are made only when critical operational constraints
exist, such as the need to preserve a large-scale review panel that was already organized
prior to the shutdown.
For clarity, this policy only applies to deadlines that were TBD or scheduled for the
near-term. Existing ROSES-25 deadlines set for dates beyond mid-January 2026 are not
expected to be delayed.
We have been amending ROSES-25<https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025> and
updating the NSPIRES website with the new, specific due dates for impacted programs.
There are a few ways that one may keep up with changes to ROSES: 1) Any amendments to the
program elements will be indicated as bold and red in Table
2<https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table2> and Table
3<https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table3>;. 2) due date changes are
reflected in the google due date calendars (Instructions are at
https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/library-and-useful-links), 3) Potential
proposers may receive the full official notification of amendments to ROSES-2025 by
signing up for the SMD NSPIRES mailing list and 4) proposers may monitor the ROSES-2025
Blog of all clarifications, corrections, and amendments to ROSES at
https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2025/
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to get these opportunities
back on schedule.
