ROSES 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science
Funds fast-turnaround Earth-science research into sudden events, plus novel research NASA did not plan for elsewhere in its cycle.
Earth-science events happen on their own schedule, not NASA's yearly solicitation cycle — a flood, an eruption, an unplanned satellite gap. This element exists to fund research into them quickly, alongside novel research ideas NASA did not anticipate when it planned the rest of the year's Earth-science call.
NASA accepts proposals to this element on a rolling basis rather than by a single deadlin…
Fast-turnaround Earth-science research responding to unplanned events, plus novel research ideas outside NASA's planned Earth-science topics for the year, accepted on a rolling basis with no fixed proposal deadline.
