[phas-faculty_staff_others] FW: [Smd] ROSES-25 Amendment 52: NASA SMD Graduate Student Research Solicitation - Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology

Tue Apr 14 10:23:38 CDT 2026

All,
The FINESST Program at NASA seeks to fund graduate student research through a process that is very similar to NSF grad fellowship proposals and regular ROSES-style proposals.  It is multi-disciplinary and available for Master’s students.

ROSES-25 Amendment 52: NASA SMD Graduate Student Research Solicitation - Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology

Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) F.5 of ROSES-25<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__go.nasa.gov_FINESST25&d=DwMFaQ&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=7FY5CeZ_cTG-RjviaeZyumtLmnxs9bi1tmGE0jGh4Mk&m=e_UqHt4G3PxujCJct19BQE9SvwcknNPRMGruBSh2zBea5T3Hff_Arp4ELul879cZ&s=5e4zXJnT0IBH_0gvfnbs8BCwPYIpkELQVeN9mBdSU_A&e=> solicits proposals from accredited U.S. universities and other eligible organizations for graduate student-designed and performed research projects that contribute to SMD's science, technology, and exploration goals. The Future Investigator, i.e., the student, shall have the primary initiative to define the proposed FINESST research project and must be the primary author, with input or supervision from the proposal's Principal Investigator, as appropriate.

ROSES-2025 Amendment 52 releases final text and due dates for Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) F.5 of ROSES-25<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__go.nasa.gov_FINESST25&d=DwMFaQ&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=7FY5CeZ_cTG-RjviaeZyumtLmnxs9bi1tmGE0jGh4Mk&m=e_UqHt4G3PxujCJct19BQE9SvwcknNPRMGruBSh2zBea5T3Hff_Arp4ELul879cZ&s=5e4zXJnT0IBH_0gvfnbs8BCwPYIpkELQVeN9mBdSU_A&e=>, which was previously TBD.
