Description
The
NASA Earth Science Division, Applied Sciences Program solicits proposals that
develop and demonstrate innovative and practical applications of Earth science
observations, models, research, and technologies to enhance disaster reduction,
management practices, and resource decisions with an emphasis on disaster
forecasting, response, and mitigation. This solicitation is specifically
focused on the ability of organizations (public and private) to leverage NASA
Earth observations, derived products, and modeling capabilities in order to
advance their skill to monitor, identify, assess, predict, and respond to
natural and technological disasters. Furthermore, this solicitation will seek
the development of sustainable solutions that incorporate solid business/organization
models that strive to incorporate performance metrics, fiscal realism of
sustained operations, and the vision to meet the disaster challenges of both
today and in the future.
This
solicitation will initially support one-year feasibility studies of potential
applications. NASA will then down-select and continue support of a subset of
these applications in subsequent, three-year projects.1 The three-year projects
will develop the application with and transition the application to a public or
private organization for sustained use in decision making and services to end
users.
