The ROSES 2008 Fellowships for Early Career Researchers, formally known as NNH08ZDA001N, is a NASA Research Announcement that invites proposals for research in Earth and space sciences. This opportunity will be available around February 15, 2008, through the NASA Research Opportunities homepage.

Researchers can apply for funding that supports both basic and applied research in various NASA programs, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Areas of focus include theoretical studies, modeling and analysis of science data, development of experimental techniques and mission concepts, and the analysis of extraterrestrial and terrestrial samples. Funding amounts can vary widely, with awards potentially exceeding one million dollars per year for extensive projects, while smaller efforts might receive under 100,000 dollars annually.

Proposals will be accepted until March 27, 2009, with initial Notices of Intent due on March 14, 2008. All interested organizations, including educational institutions, nonprofits, and government agencies, can apply without limitation on the number of submissions or team arrangements.

To submit a proposal electronically, organizations must be registered with the NASA proposal system NSPIRES or with Grants.gov, and all involved researchers need to register with NSPIRES as well. For those looking for specific program elements, they can be found through an advanced search on Grants.gov using the ROSES solicitation number. For further inquiries, Dr. Max Bernstein can be contacted directly.
