Opportunity Summary:
NASA Glenn Research Center issued a modified notice for the 2011 Summer of Innovation Project, a discretionary education funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. The main update in this modification is that the full Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) is now posted in NASA's Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES), which is the required system for accessing solicitation documents and submitting proposals. Applicants are expected to rely on NSPIRES as the authoritative source for the complete announcement, required forms, instructions, and any future amendments, and they are responsible for monitoring the site and downloading the materials themselves.
A key event tied to this opportunity is a pre-proposal teleconference scheduled for January 27, 2011, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NASA emphasized that the call will not include live Q and A. Instead, prospective offerors must submit written questions in advance by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on January 26, 2011, and only those pre-submitted questions will be addressed during the teleconference. Questions are to be emailed to grc-2011summerofinnovation@mail.nasa.gov. NASA will then post written questions and answers on the NSPIRES website, and throughout the proposal period applicants may continue to send questions to the same email address, with responses appearing on the solicitation's FAQ page as they are processed. For participation, the teleconference dial-in number is 1-888-946-7304 with participant passcode 5328688, and a relay option for hearing-impaired participants is provided via a FedRCC event link.
From an administrative standpoint, proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES at nasaprs.nasa.gov. The updated proposal deadline is February 25, 2011, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, replacing the originally listed closing date of February 18, 2011. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NNC11ZCE009C, with CFDA 43.008 (Education). NASA anticipates making about 10 awards, and the listed award ceiling is $750,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated in the synopsis, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility under the posted summary.
Eligibility is broad within the education and public-interest space, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, independent school districts, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when applicable under that category listing). The announcement is categorized under education activities and uses the cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates NASA expects substantial involvement with recipients during performance compared to a standard grant. The posting dates in the record show the opportunity was initially posted January 6, 2011, with this modification created January 21, 2011, and an archive date of January 21, 2012.
For assistance, the notice lists points of contact for technical access and support. If there are problems accessing the full announcement, applicants can contact Nikki D. Brown at Nikki.D.Brown@grc.nasa.gov. NSPIRES system support is available via nais.support@nasa.gov. The clearest practical takeaway is that applicants should retrieve the full CAN from NSPIRES, prepare and submit any questions before the January 26 cutoff if they want them answered during the January 27 call, and ensure the full proposal package is submitted in NSPIRES by the February 25, 2011 deadline.
