Opportunity Summary:

NASA Headquarters posted a grant and cooperative agreement opportunity called "A.5 Hypersonics (HYP1)" under the broader umbrella solicitation "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2010" (ROA), funding opportunity number NNH10ZEA001N. This notice is not a standalone, brand-new program so much as an official modification to the existing ROA synopsis that was originally released on June 4, 2010. The key purpose of the modification is to add and solicit proposals for new research topics that appear in Appendix A.2, introduced through Amendment #3 to the ROA NRA NNH10ZEA001N. In other words, NASA expanded the set of aeronautics research topics by publishing additional hypersonics-related topics in that appendix and invited the community to submit proposals aligned with those newly posted areas.

The opportunity supports science, technology, and other research and development efforts focused on hypersonics, with awards anticipated through either grants or cooperative agreements. A cooperative agreement generally indicates NASA expects substantial involvement during the performance of the work, whereas a standard grant typically implies less day-to-day federal participation, but both are common instruments for research programs depending on how the project is structured. The announcement indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required by default to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible, unless some specific topic text in the appendix states otherwise.

Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning NASA left the door open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, universities, industry, nonprofits, and other organizations), with the caveat that applicants still need to follow any additional eligibility clarifications provided in the full solicitation text. Because the notice points repeatedly to the appendix in NSPIRES for the real topic descriptions and due dates, the practical meaning is that an applicant would need to go into NSPIRES, find the ROA NRA NNH10ZEA001N listing under open solicitations, and then read Appendix A.2 (as updated by Amendment #3) to determine the specific hypersonics research thrusts being requested, any special requirements, and the precise proposal due date(s) associated with each topic.

The posting date and creation date are both November 2, 2010. The closing date for proposals is shown as November 23, 2010, and the archive date is December 23, 2010. While the public synopsis provides the high-level framing, the detailed requirements that matter for submission (topic scope, expected deliverables, page limits, evaluation criteria, submission instructions, and any topic-specific deadlines) are explicitly housed in NSPIRES rather than spelled out in the synopsis itself. The notice also makes clear that, aside from adding these new Appendix A.2 topics, "all other information included in the original posting remains unchanged," so applicants would be expected to follow the baseline ROA rules and instructions from the June 4, 2010 solicitation and apply them to these new hypersonics topics.

For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, NASA provides points of contact, including Tony Strazisar via the ROA email address (roa@nasa.gov) and NAIS Support at nais.support@nasa.gov. The overall takeaway is that this is a time-bounded NASA aeronautics R and D funding call, specifically expanding the ROA 2010 portfolio with additional hypersonics topics, and the authoritative details for proposing are located inside NSPIRES under the amended Appendix A.2 for NNH10ZEA001N.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): NASA ROA 2010 - A.5 Hypersonics (HYP1)

Both are used for research programs depending on how the project is structured.

11) Is cost sharing or matching required?

No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated in the announcement. Applicants are not required by default to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible, unless a specific topic in the appendix states otherwise.

The notice points applicants to Appendix A.2 in NSPIRES for due dates associated with each topic. That implies the precise due date(s) that apply in practice should be confirmed in the appendix for the topic being pursued.

18) What parts of the original ROA remain in effect?

The notice states that aside from adding the new Appendix A.2 topics, "all other information included in the original posting remains unchanged." Applicants are expected to follow the baseline ROA rules and instructions from the June 4, 2010 solicitation and apply them to these hypersonics topics.

19) Where should applicants look inside NSPIRES to find this opportunity?

Applicants should go to NSPIRES, locate the ROA NRA NNH10ZEA001N listing under open solicitations, and then review Appendix A.2 (as updated by Amendment #3).
