ROSES 2025: A.32 Studies with ICESat-2
This funding opportunity supports U.S. researchers studying Earth's ice, land, and atmosphere using advanced satellite data to better understand climate and environmental changes.
This funding opportunity, part of NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025, focuses on studies utilizing data from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2). The program aims to support research on Earth's cryosphere, land, and atmosphere using ICESat-2's precise laser altimetry measurements. Proposals may cover a range of scientific investigations, including ice sheet dynamics, vegetation structure, hydrology, and atmospheric properties. Awards will be made as grants or cooperative agreements, depending on the nature of the research. The program is open to researchers affiliated with U.S. institutions, with limited opportunities for non-U.S. institutions under specific guidelines. A Notice of Intent is optional and due by September 10, 2025. The application submission deadline is October 10, 2025. The typical award duration is three years, but some projects may extend up to five years. More details, including application requirements and program elements, can be found on NASA’s NSPIRES portal.

Additional Requirements
Proposers must be affiliated with an institution at nspires.nasaprs.com/ and, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Organizations outside the U.S. that propose on the basis of a policy of no-exchange-of-funds; consult the NASA Proposers Guide (https://www.nasa.gov/general/grants-policy-and-compliance-team/ - section-2) for specific details. Some NRAs may be issued jointly with a non-U.S. organization, e.g., those concerning guest observing programs for jointly sponsored space science programs, that will contain additional special guidelines for non-U.S. participants. Also reference the Proposers Guide for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
