ROSES-24 Amendment 72: D.14 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Research and Support Participation Opportunities Final Text and Due Dates

D.14 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Research and Support Participation Opportunities solicits proposals to work on preparation for the operational phase of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, using one of two categories depending on the type of work being proposed. These are:

• Wide Field Science (WFS)
  • Supports investigations that prepare for and/or enhance the science return of Roman that can be addressed with its Wide Field Instrument (WFI)
  • Two different scales of project: Regular (two-year term, up to $150K/year) and Large (two-year term, ≲$500K/year)
  • Expect to award ≈12 WFS proposals with a roughly 2:1 balance of Regular: Large, subject to budgetary limits and sufficient meritorious proposals

• Coronagraph Community Participation Program (CPP)
  • Solicits individuals or very small teams to work with the Coronagraph Instrument team to plan and execute its technology demonstration observations.
  • Selected proposals will have three-year terms; available funding can support ≲$200K/year awards
  • Expect to select around three CPP proposals; PIs will join the single team that plans and executes Coronagraph Instrument observations

ROSES-2024 Amendment 72 releases final text and due dates for D.14 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Research and Support Participation Opportunities. Notices of intent are ardently requested by Friday, January 17, 2025, and proposals are due on Thursday, March 6, 2025.

This Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024" (NNH24ZDA001N) is posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog.
