It sounds like folks are getting decisions on #NASA ROSES-25 SciAct (F.6) submissions. 😔 So far I haven't heard about any #heliophysics proposals having been accepted. Not even NASA HEAT (science.nasa.gov/learn/heat/). #STEMEducation #spacescience #SpaceEducation #nasaoutreach

NASA HEAT - NASA Science

#heliophysics folks - I'm hearing that some O2R2O (ROSES-25 B.4) selections have been made. Time to check your NSPIRES. I haven't heard anything about RADIANT (ROSES-25 B.5) so far, but I'm not sure who's submitted to that to find out.

#heliophysics folks, if you got through Step-1, the ROSES-25 B.2 HFR Step-2 deadline is Sept 25.

The following is all my interpretation, but I think the writing's on the wall for #NASA ROSES-26. It's a reasonable read given the evidence. It's at least useful to consider for planning purposes. 🧵[1/7] @roguenasa.altgov.info @agu.org @aas.org @planetarysociety.bsky.social @nationalacademies.org

A nonpartisan civil service is necessary to ensure good policy, founded on good scientific research, and services are provided for all - not just those the current administration thinks are worthy. Civil servants dedicate their lives to serving our public, regardless of who's in office...

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) begins with asking about OMB rule proposal. Gluesenkamp Perez: directed any agencies to enact the OMB rule proposal ahead of time? Vought: No - this stems from an EO directed last year.
