ROSES 2025: Heliophysics Foundational Research New
|
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
This Heliophysics Foundational Research (HFR) program
element supports investigations that advance the fundamental physical
understanding of the SunHeliosphere-Planetary system. The emphasis of
HFR is on uncovering and characterizing the underlying drivers,
couplings, and governing processes that shape heliophysical phenomena
across spatial and temporal scales, from the solar interior to planetary
environments.
The HFR program is intended to support forward-looking, high-impact research that is at the forefront of heliophysics science and that motivates and enables future Heliophysics missions, programs, and strategic investments. Investigations supported under HFR are expected to address long-standing knowledge gaps, challenge prevailing assumptions, and establish new conceptual or methodological frameworks for the field. To address these foundational goals of Heliophysics sciences, the HFR program element is soliciting Strategic Science Teams (SSTs) that directly support current strategic needs of NASA Heliophysics. In alignment with the 2025 Heliophysics Decadal Survey, the HFR program emphasizes two overarching scientific themes:

In alignment with the 2025 Heliophysics Decadal Survey, the HFR program emphasizes two overarching scientific themes:
- Sun-Earth-Space: Our Interconnected Home, recognizing the heliosphere as a coupled system shaped by multiscale interactions and feedbacks; and
- A Laboratory in Space: Building Blocks of Understanding, advancing heliophysics as a natural laboratory for plasma, magnetic, and energetic processes.
