This program supports research in heliophysics spaceflight science through a structured two-step proposal process. Step-1 proposals are due November 20, 2026, and Step-2 proposals by February 5, 2027. Proposals undergo dual-anonymous review and must comply with ROSES guidelines, including the use of NASA's standard Open Science Data Management Plan template. The typical award period is three years, with eligibility primarily for U.S.-based institutions affiliated with NSPIRES.
Applicants must be affiliated with an institution registered at NSPIRES and generally be U.S.-based. Non-U.S. organizations may participate under specific policies with no exchange of funds and must consult NASA guidelines for eligibility.
