ROSES25: A.15 Biosphere
Funds biosphere research submitted to NASA in two stages, with the second stage open only to teams whose first stage qualified.
NASA funds biosphere-focused research through this element of its Earth Science division, one of many separate calls bundled inside the agency's yearly omnibus science solicitation.
Applying happens in two steps. A short Step-1 proposal comes first; only teams whose Step-1 is compliant and on time can submit a Step-2 proposal, and a Step-2 with no qualifying Step-1 behind it is returned without r…
Biosphere-focused research proposed to NASA's Earth Science division in a two-step process — a short Step-1 proposal, then a Step-2 open only to teams whose Step-1 qualified — and judged by dual-anonymous peer review; NASA's own notice covers process and format rather than naming specific biosphere research questions.
