NSPIRES lists the ROSES-2025 omnibus as Open with a December 31, 2026 solicitation close. NASA’s high-level 2026 calendar currently lists ROSES program-element dates through August; each element has its own applicant steps and deadlines. No single machine deadline applies to the umbrella.
Fit
Plausibly relevant to scientific computing, AI-for-science, open science, or research-infrastructure work.
Eligibility and verification notes

Eligibility: Varies by program element; U.S. universities typically submit institutionally via NSPIRES.

NASA identifies ROSES-2025 as the current omnibus solicitation; NSPIRES lists Status Open, release July 10, 2025, and close December 31, 2026. NASA’s high-level 2026 calendar currently lists ROSES dates through August, but not as one umbrella applicant deadline. Official Tables 2/3 amended July 27, 2026 show D.6 Astrophysics Research and Analysis with a mandatory June 25, 2026 NOI and an August 6 proposal deadline. The official D.7 Strategic Astrophysics Technology page says notices of intent were requested by June 25 and proposals are due August 6; it does not call the notice mandatory. D.6 is non-actionable after its mandatory step, while D.7’s final deadline is inside the inclusive 15-day archive fence. Neither is promoted through this umbrella navigation card; each requires a distinct stable ID and element-level review.

Methodology and status definitions

Evidence policy

Only provider, agency, facility, foundation, or provider-linked application pages were accepted as evidence. Aggregators were not used. The all-opportunities view contains verified records from the documented searched-source universe, not unverified search noise or an internet-wide exhaustive list.

Endpoint rule

Endpoint liveness and program openness are checked separately. A live page or form can belong to an archived or repurposed call; a moved page can point to a valid new route. Application controls are suppressed for tracker-archived records even when an official endpoint remains live.

Status definitions

Open
Official evidence showed current intake and the modeled cycle remained outside the tracker’s 15-day lead-time archive fence.
Upcoming
Official evidence promised a future round that remained outside the archive fence, while intake or an application route was not yet available.
Archived
The sponsor closed intake, the named cycle passed, or the tracker’s inclusive 15-day lead-time policy moved the cycle out of the actionable view. Policy-retired cards carry a visible lifecycle reason; legacy archive cards may instead explain status in their deadline or verification notes.

Independent, best-effort resource. This tracker is not affiliated with or endorsed by listed providers. Always confirm deadlines, eligibility, and terms before acting. The exact public dataset is available as public_opportunities.json, with a deterministic provenance manifest.
