Opportunity Summary:
NASA Headquarters issued an Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for the Earth System Science Pathfinder Program, specifically the Earth Venture 2 (EV-2) solicitation, under funding opportunity number NNH11ZDA012O. This is a discretionary federal funding opportunity in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category (CFDA 43.001, Science). Awards are expected to be made as cooperative agreements, which generally means NASA anticipates substantial involvement with selected recipients during performance, rather than providing a hands-off grant.
The key update in the provided notice is an administrative change made through Amendment No. 3: the proposal due date was pushed back by two weeks, from September 15, 2011 to September 29, 2011. NASA states the reason for the extension was to accommodate proposers affected by Hurricane Irene, particularly those who were without power and therefore faced practical barriers to completing and submitting applications on time. The original release date for the AO was June 17, 2011, and the amended closing date is September 29, 2011. The opportunity was posted on September 2, 2011, and the archive date is listed as September 2, 2012.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may appear in the full text of the announcement under the eligibility section. The notice also specifies there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which indicates applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award (again, subject to any constraints detailed in the full AO).
For access to the complete solicitation package and the formal amendment language, NASA directed applicants to the NSPIRES website (nspires.nasaprs.com) and provided navigation guidance: Solicitations, then Open Solicitations, then locate NNH11ZDA012O. Amendment No. 3 was expected to be posted on or about September 1, 2011, which aligns with the posting timeframe mentioned in the listing.
The notice provides a primary point of contact for technical or programmatic questions: Dr. Ramesh K. Kakar in NASA's Earth Science Division within the Science Mission Directorate, with a phone number (202-358-0240) and email (Ramesh.K.Kakar@nasa.gov). It also requests that email inquiries use the subject line "EARTH VENTURE 2 AO" to help route messages correctly. For applicants who have trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the same contact is provided, along with a general support contact for NAIS/NSPIRES assistance (nais.support@nasa.gov).
