[NASA] ROSES-25 AMENDMENT 7: SEVERAL CHANGES TO C.1 PLANETARY SCIENCE
RESEARCH PROGRAM OVERVIEW

C.1, The Planetary Science Research Program Overview provides relevant
information for program elements in Appendix C. ROSES-2025 Amendment 7
makes several changes to C.1: it establishes funding threshold and
submission requirements for substantial instrument or equipment
requests (Section 3.11), removes the estimated page limit for pilot
studies (Section 3.4) and clarifies text on use of spacecraft mission
data (Section 3.5). New text is in bold and deleted text is struck
through. A Planetary Science Overview FAQ has been posted under other
documents on NSPIRES pages for all of Appendix C. That new FAQ
addresses questions from the Planetary Science Division ROSES Roll Out
July 29.

For more information, go to:

https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025

Questions concerning C.1, The Planetary Science Research Program
Overview may be directed to Kathleen Vander Kaaden at
Kathleen.e.vanderkaaden@nasa.gov or to the program shared inbox for the
element to which you are proposing, see:

FACULTY ADMINISTRATOR OR PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR, FLORIDA SPACE
INSTITUTE

The Florida Space Institute (FSI) at the University of Central Florida
(UCF) is on a mission to propel space research, innovation, and
education to new heights. We are seeking a visionary leader to serve as
the Director of FSI, a multidisciplinary center devoted to facilitating
and conducting leading-edge applied and basic research and education
programs in space-related fields. UCF is seeking applications for a
12-month, non-tenure earning faculty administrator or tenured professor
and director of the FSI.

FSI's charter is to support space research, development, and education
activities within UCF and in the state of Florida, and secondarily to
support the development of Florida's space economy, including civil,
defense, and commercial. As Director, you'll have the opportunity to
help drive collaborations across academia, industry, and government to
expand Florida's space research.

The Director will work with faculty from the College of Sciences, the
College of Engineering and Computer Science, the College of Optics and
Photonics, and others interested in space-related research at UCF to
achieve these goals.

All applications and supporting documents be submitted electronically
through the Human Resources employment opportunities website by
September 15,2025:
