# NASA Opens Second Astrophysics Research Calls

NASA’s ROSES-25 Amendment 80 opens second-round General Investigator proposal opportunities for the Swift, Fermi, and TESS observatories. Phase-1 proposals for all three programs are due **January 28, 2027**—99 days from October 21, 2026—and must be submitted through ARK RPS. Applicants should review new Sections 12–14 of the D.3 solicitation for program-specific scope and submission details.

- The opportunities cover Swift Cycle 23, Fermi Cycle 20, and TESS Cycle 10 research, including mission-data analysis and, where specified, related observations, methods, and theory.
- Research organizations and prospective investigators should use ARK RPS for Phase-1 submissions and consult the relevant programmatic or technical lead with questions about proposal scope or requirements.
- NASA lists programmatic and technical contacts for Swift and Fermi, and a programmatic contact for TESS; the extracted information also identifies a TESS technical contact.
