The NASA Headquarters has posted a grant opportunity titled "ROSES 2024: C.5 Exobiology". This grant is in the category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The funding instrument type is a grant and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The grant is open to eligible applicants, which include organizations affiliated with an institution at nspires.nasaprs.com/. However, NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions. The grant notice also mentions that some NRAs (Notices of Research Announcement) may be issued jointly with non-U.S. organizations, but there are special guidelines for non-U.S. participants.
The grant does not have a specific proposal due date and proposals may be submitted at any time, pending certain eligibility timing issues. The last day for proposal submission subject to the ROSES-24 rules and the current Guidebook for Proposers is March 28, 2025. The ROSES-25 version of this program element is planned to overlap with the ROSES-24 version by a few weeks, allowing continuous submission of proposals across ROSES years.
The grant is part of the annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA) called Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) - 2024. This NRA covers a wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD). The awards for this grant will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed and program requirements. Most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants.
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. Organizations of every type, government and private, for-profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements.
