Habitable Worlds Observatory Instrument Concept Assessments in NASA Research Announcement (NRA): RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2025
Solicitation # NNH25ZDA001N-HWOICA
The Habitable Worlds Observatory Instrument Concept Assessments (HWO-ICA) program, under solicitation NNH25ZDA001N-HWOICA, seeks proposals to mature the HWO mission concept by expanding the exploration of the instrument trade space. The program focuses on analyzing innovative instrument concepts based on scientific opportunity, engineering feasibility, technology maturity, and associated risks. It supports two categories of proposals for a nominal period of approximately two years: Category 1 for U.S.-based institution-led assessments and Category 2 for U.S.-based individuals participating in non-U.S. led programs. Notably, the program supports pre-formulation activities aligned with the HWO Technology Maturation Project Office but does not fund the development of flight hardware or support tools. Proposals are due by October 14, 2026, and must be submitted via the NSPIRES portal. Evaluation will be conducted using dual anonymous peer review. Selected proposals will be funded through firm-fixed-priced contracts or Interagency Agreements. A recent amendment clarifies that unfunded U.S.-based individuals involved in the proposed work may be included as Collaborators for Category 2 proposals. Questions regarding this opportunity are accepted until September 18, 2026, and should be directed to Megan Ansdell.
