#heliophysics folks, if you got through Step-1, the ROSES-25 B.2 HFR Step-2 deadline is Sept 25.
The current ROSES-25 Table 3 has footnotes pointing to Nov or Dec2026 as the point by which ROSES-26 is expected to be open. It's ambiguous enough that I can't say for certain whether that's NASA's actual best guess or just an admin cutoff, but no one is currently pointing to July/Aug/Sep. 🧵[3/7]
Y'all this isn't even close to over yet, but the number of comments on the OMB proposed rule changes is heartening and inspirational. #savescience #peerreview #PeerReviewProcess #PeoplePower #PublicPolicy #science #ScienceCollaboration #FundScience #FederalFunding 🧵

Day 36. The money already spent on the conflict with Iran could fund #NASA SMD at FY26 enacted rates for more than 5 years. Yet the #pbr wants to cut NASA science by ~50% (as the president tried to do last year, which #Congress rejected). #NoWarWithIran #FundScience #SaveScience #Federalbudget
#NASA is asking us to reduce #SDO (and JSOC) funding by 50% over 3 years in our senior review (also reflected in the FY27 PBR), but the #FY27 #pbr proposes 100% cuts to SDAC and other Helio archives. WHO WILL HOST THE 25+ PETABYTES OF SDO DATA??? #spaceweather #FundScience #heliophysics #data
#NSF Geosciences gets a 58% cut, including 48% for NSO. But it gets worse: Biology gets -72%, Math and Physical Sciences -67%, Computer -63%, Engineering -75%. nsf.gov/about/budget/fy2027 #Heliophysics #PBR #FY27 #FederalBudget #SaveScience #FundScience

🚨#heliophysics news🚨 If you missed the most recent SolarNews, add the HFR Telecon to your calendars for Feb 27. Submit questions ahead of time, by 2/25. Links to submit questions and join telecon are in the SolarNews announcement. HFR (corrected) text: nspires.nasaprs.com/external/vie...
📢 #heliophysics alert 📢 #NASA SMD has updated and clarified the recent HFR solicitation (ROSES-25 B.2).
📢 #heliophysics alert 📢 The "new" Heliophysics Foundational Research (HFR) solicitation (ROSES-25 B.2) has been released. Step-1 is due May 5. No Step-2 due date yet. nspires.nasaprs.com/external/vie...
FYI: These 7 Democrats decided to vote to fund ICE. Massie was the only Republican to vote against. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
‼️ROSES 2026 UPDATE‼️ ROSES-26 will not be released until July 2026 (in previous years, it's been released nominally on Valentines Day). ROSES-25 will continue to solicit until ROSES-26 is released. #heliophysics #FundScience #NASA #nasabudget #FundNASA @roguenasa.altgov.info
Latest update from #NASA ROSES 2025 for #heliophysics, solicitation B.6 "Heliophysics Instrument Development for Science" No Step-1 or NOI. Applications due April 15, 2026.
