C.12 Foundational Artificial Intelligence for the Moon and Mars (FAIMM) is intended to enable individual researchers to participate as members of teams who are designing science and exploration applications for large, general artificial intelligence (AI) models known as Foundation Models (FMs) for the Moon and Mars. These FMs harness large datasets to transform science and exploration on the Moon and Mars and can be applied to a range of AI and Machine Learning (ML) tasks. In this collaborative and interdisciplinary effort, selected participants will work with each other, existing project team members, and AI researchers and engineers. This program seeks to expand the personnel, skills and expertise, datasets, and science and exploration disciplines contributing to large AI models, and no prior AI/ML experience is required.

ROSES-2025 Amendment 37 presents C.12 FAIMM as a new program element in ROSES-2025. Neither Step-1 proposals nor NOIs are requested for this program element. Proposals are due by April 28, 2026.

On or about January 13, 2025, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025” (NNH25ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025

Questions concerning C.12 FAIMM may be directed to Rebekah Dawson-Rigas at HQ-FAIMM@mail.nasa.gov.
