Description
NNH11ZDA001N Release Date: February 18, 2011.
Notice of Intent to propose Due: March 18, 2011 through February 8, 2012 Proposals
Due: April 29, 2011 through April 30, 2012. RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND
EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2011 NNH11ZDA001N, entitled "Research Opportunities
in Space and Earth Sciences - 2011 (ROSES-2011)," will be available on or
about February 18, 2011, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at
http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then
linking through the menu listings "Solicitations" to "Open
Solicitations." This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals
for supporting basic and applied research and technology across a broad range
of Earth and space science program elements relevant to one or more of the
following NASA Research Programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics,
Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. This ROSES NRA covers all aspects of basic
and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences,
including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science
data; aircraft, stratospheric balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial
reusable rocket investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable
for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space
missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions;
development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both
extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples
that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system
science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to
analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth
surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions;
development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for
applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of
applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data. Awards range
from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to
more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science
experiment hardware). The funds available for awards in each program element
offered in this ROSES NRA range from less than one to several million dollars,
which allow selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals
depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit.
Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or
intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the proposing organization
and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is
four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of
five years) periods. Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government
and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without
restriction on number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that
all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the
basis of no exchange of funds. Proposal due dates are scheduled starting on
April 29, 2011, and continue through April 30, 2012. Electronically submitted
Notices of Intent to propose are requested for most program elements, with the
first such due date being March 18, 2011. Electronic submission of proposals is
required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be
submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic
proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via
Grants.gov. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to
this ROSES NRA must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to
submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov in addition
to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the
authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic
proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g.
co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission
system. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the
system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to
familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information.
Details of the solicited programs are given in the Appendices of this ROSES
NRA. Proposal due dates are given in Tables 2 and 3 of this ROSES NRA.
Interested proposers should monitor http://nspires.nasaprs.com/
or subscribe to the electronic notification system there for additional new
programs or amendments to this ROSES NRA through February 2012, at which time
release of a subsequent ROSES NRA is planned. A web archive (and RSS feed) for
amendments, clarifications, and corrections to this ROSES NRA can be found at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2011/.
Further information about specific program elements may be obtained from the
individual Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each
program element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA, while questions concerning
general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein,
Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington,
