The ROSES 2015 Mars Science Laboratory Participating Scientist Program is a government grant opportunity inviting proposals for basic and applied research to support NASA's Science Mission Directorate. This solicitation encompasses a wide range of research areas related to space and Earth sciences, including theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data from various platforms such as aircraft, scientific balloons, and spacecraft. It also encourages the development of experimental techniques and concepts for future missions, advanced technologies, and systems that apply Earth science research to meet societal needs.

Funding amounts vary, with awards ranging from under $100,000 for focused efforts to over $1 million for extensive activities, and total funding available is from less than one million to several million dollars. The typical award period lasts four years but can extend up to five years depending on the program.
