ROSES25: C.4 Planetary Science Enabling Facilities
Funds the shared facilities and instruments planetary-science research depends on, reopened this year after a year off.
Planetary-science research depends on shared facilities and instruments as much as on individual investigators, and this element is NASA's channel for funding that shared infrastructure.
NASA had not solicited this element the prior year; this year's solicitation reopens it, and no Step-1 proposal or notice of intent is required — a full proposal goes straight to NASA.

Facilities, instruments and equipment that support NASA-funded planetary-science research, reopened this year after not being solicited the year before, with a full proposal — no Step-1 or notice of intent — reviewed dual-anonymous.
