ROSES 2024: D.20 Exoplanet Mass Measurement Program
This funding opportunity is designed for U.S.-based research institutions to advance the measurement of exoplanet masses, enhancing our understanding of their characteristics and formation processes.
Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) invites proposals for the Exoplanet Mass Measurement Program (EMMP), part of the ROSES-2024 omnibus Research Announcement. This program, under the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), seeks to advance research in measuring exoplanet masses to better understand their characteristics and formation processes. Funding will be provided through grants or cooperative agreements. Proposers must submit mandatory Notices of Intent (NOIs) by February 13, 2025, with full proposals due by March 18, 2025.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based institutions listed on NASA's NSPIRES system. While foreign organizations are generally excluded from receiving NASA funds, they may participate under specific no-exchange-of-funds agreements. Collaborative proposals that include both domestic and international teams are allowed, provided U.S. funding supports U.S. personnel. Detailed guidance for foreign participation is available in the NASA Proposer’s Guide.
The solicitation falls under the broader ROSES-2024 framework, which funds diverse research across space and Earth sciences. Most awards are structured as grants, with typical performance periods of three years, though some programs may allow extensions. This program is discretionary, meaning funding amounts, award ceilings, and floors are not specified. Applicants should review the program-specific requirements outlined in the associated documentation available on NSPIRES.
Proposers must retrieve required forms and guidelines from the application package linked to the announcement. Key information, including program goals, submission instructions, and FAQ resources, is available at [NSPIRES](http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024). To stay updated on amendments or new program elements, proposers can subscribe to SMD mailing lists, follow the ROSES blog feed, or use the ROSES-2024 due date Google calendar.
Technical inquiries specific to the program should be directed to Hannah Jang-Condell, the Exoplanet Exploration Program Scientist, at NASA Headquarters. For general questions regarding ROSES-2024, Max Bernstein, the Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, is available at sara@nasa.gov.
This funding opportunity supports NASA’s strategic goals in astrophysics and provides a significant platform for advancing exoplanet science. Prospective applicants should ensure compliance with all submission requirements and timelines to maximize their potential for award consideration.
