PIERAZZO INTERNATIONAL STUDENT TRAVEL AWARD APPLICATIONS - DUE NOVEMBER
25, 2025

Each year, subject to receiving qualified applications, Planetary
Science Institute bestows two awards.

The first award supports a U.S.-based Ph.D. student to attend a
planetary science-related conference or workshop located outside the
U.S.

The second award facilitates a non-U.S.-based Ph.D. student to attend a
planetary science-related conference within the U.S. Eligible events
include planetary-focused sessions at general meetings like AGU, GSA,
EGU, and IAG. The event should be open to general participation by the
planetary community.

Each award offers a certificate and up to $2,000 in travel support, to
be presented by a PSI representative at a scientific conference or
meeting. We believe these awards can foster international collaboration
and broaden the horizons of aspiring planetary scientists.

For more information, go to:

https://www.psi.edu/pierazzo-award/

Applications close 9 PM MST, November 25, 2025 for meetings occurring
in calendar 2026. Late applications will not be accepted. Award winners
will be announced on or before December 7.

[NASA] SMD: RESETTING ROSES DUE DATES AFTER THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

We are working to reset the proposal deadlines for ROSES-25 programs
that were impacted by the recent funding lapse. This includes both
deadlines that were changed to "TBD" and other near-term deadlines that
are no longer viable.

The following policy for resetting deadlines are being implemented:

- Default Policy: As a simple and standard baseline, most impacted
  deadlines will be delayed by a minimum of 30 days.
- Exception Clause: In a few specific cases, a new deadline may be set
  with a delay of fewer than 30 days. These exceptions are made only
  when critical operational constraints exist, such as the need to
  preserve a large-scale review panel that was already organized prior
  to the shutdown.

For clarity, this policy only applies to deadlines that were TBD or
scheduled for the near-term. Existing ROSES-25 deadlines set for dates
beyond mid-January 2026 are not expected to be delayed.

We have been amending ROSES-25 and updating the NSPIRES website with
the new, specific due dates for impacted programs.

To keep up with changes to ROSES, please monitor the following for

[NASA] SMD: ROSES-25 AMENDMENT 20 - EXOPLANETS RESEARCH PROGRAM STEP-1
DUE DATE DEFERRED TO DECEMBER 3, 2025

The Exoplanets Research Program (XRP), element F.3 of ROSES-25,
solicits basic research proposals to conduct scientific investigations
that significantly improve our understanding of exoplanets and
exoplanet formation. This program element is cross-divisional and
jointly managed by three of the Divisions within NASA's Science Mission
Directorate: Astrophysics, Planetary Science, and Heliophysics.
Proposed investigations that combine multiple scientific disciplines or
cross traditional Divisional science boundaries, for example, by
including topics or analysis techniques from Heliophysics, are highly
encouraged.

ROSES-2025 Amendment 20 defers the Step-1 due date for F.3 XRP to
December 3, 2025.

[NASA] SMD: CORRECTIONS TO F.3 EXOPLANETS RESEARCH

The Exoplanets Research Program (XRP), element F.3 of ROSES-25,
solicits basic research proposals to conduct scientific investigations
that significantly improve our understanding of exoplanets and
exoplanet formation. This program element is cross-divisional and
jointly managed by three of the Divisions within NASA's Science Mission
Directorate: Astrophysics, Planetary Science, and Heliophysics.
Proposed investigations that combine multiple scientific disciplines or
cross traditional Divisional science boundaries are highly encouraged.

corrected New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The
due dates are unchanged: Step-1 proposals are due December 3, 2025, and
Step-2 proposals are due January 26, 2026.

[NASA] SMD: ROSES-25 AMENDMENT 21 - F.15 ARTEMIS III PARTICIPATING
SCIENTIST PROGRAM STEP-2 PROPOSAL DUE DATE RESET TO NOVEMBER 25, 2025

ROSES-2025 Amendment 21 resets the step-2 proposal due date for F.15
Artemis III Participating Scientist Program (A3PSP), which was
previously set to TBD because of the lapse in government funding. The
new Step-2 proposal due date is November 25, 2025. Only those who
previously submitted a Step-1 proposal can submit a Step-2 proposal.

APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR ASPIRE INTERNSHIP

Astrophysics Summer Program for International Research Experience
(ASPIRE) will be an 8-week on-site programme in Amsterdam for
highly-motivated MSc students to work at the cutting-edge of
astronomical research at the Anton Pannekoek Institute (API),
University of Amsterdam. Our goal is to give you the experience of
astronomical research at a world-leading institute and help kick-start
your journey into a science career and all the other avenues it can
open. You'll gain new research skills and an advisor who will be your
guide and mentor. We are especially keen to welcome students from
countries and institutes where opportunities for research experience
are scarce, and we further specifically encourage applications from
groups whose talents are typically untapped and under-represented by
astronomical institutes, including, but not limited to: people of
colour, women, and students whose socio-economic background is
underprivileged.

Who can apply? Any MSc student not enrolled in a PhD program with a
background in Physics, Astronomy or a closely related field. Check out
the available projects on our website:

https://aspire.science.uva.nl/

ASPIRE runs on-site in Amsterdam at the Anton Pannekoek Institute from
15 June to 7 August 2026. Application deadline is 17 December 2025.

PHD POSITION IN BEPICOLOMBO, MERCURY'S SPACE WEATHER, AND
HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

We are seeking for a motivated doctoral researcher (PhD candidate) to
work on the modelling of Mercury's space plasma physics in a
BepiColombo related project. The position is part of the MErcury in the
sOlar Wind (MEOW) ERC project at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
You will use our global particle-based space weather models to study
the solar wind influence on Mercury and its environment and interpret
observations from the BepiColombo mission. Alternatively, you can focus
on the development of simulation methods for supercomputer
environments, depending on your skills and interests.

[EGU2026] SESSION PS1.4: LUNAR SCIENCE, EXPLORATION & UTILISATION

We would like to draw your attention to the lunar session at EGU2026
(May 3 - May 8, 2026, Vienna, Austria):

This session aims to provide a comprehensive platform for discussing
the latest advancements in lunar science, exploration, and sustainable
utilization. We will cover critical aspects of lunar science, including
the deep interior, subsurface structure, surface morphology, up to
atmospheric dynamics and the solar wind interaction. Furthermore,
highlighting results from space missions, we seek to explore innovative
ideas for future exploration. In addition, the session will focus on
identifying strategic knowledge gaps crucial for the safe and
sustainable exploration of cis-lunar space and the lunar surface by
astronauts.

We welcome contributions from experts of different fields and as such,
the session aims to foster a comprehensive dialogue on the status and
future of lunar exploration and science.

Full session description is available here:

Early abstract deadline including travel support: December 1, 13:00 CET
Abstract deadline: January 15, 13:00 CET

Thank you for considering this session and please forward this
information on to anyone interested!
