B.2 System Wide Safety Assurance Technologies (SSAT2) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

B.2 System Wide Safety Assurance Technologies (SSAT2) is a NASA Headquarters research funding opportunity released as an amendment to an existing aeronautics research solicitation called "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2011," which was originally posted on August 30, 2011. The SSAT2 notice is not a standalone program announcement; it is a modification to the broader ROA NRA identified as NNH11ZEA001N. What changed with this amendment is the addition of new research topics collected in Appendix A.2 (introduced through Amendment #1). NASA is specifically inviting proposal submissions that respond to those newly added Appendix A.2 topics, while stating that the remainder of the original solicitation terms and conditions remain in effect and unchanged.

The official funding opportunity number is NNH11ZEA001N SSAT2, and the opportunity title is "B.2 System Wide Safety Assurance Technologies (SSAT2)." It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity within the science, technology, and other research and development domain, and it is associated with CFDA number 43.002 (Aeronautics). NASA anticipates making about nine awards under this topic area. The announcement indicates that cost sharing or matching is not required, which generally means proposers are not expected to contribute a mandatory portion of project costs as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary cost share can sometimes be offered depending on the rules of the parent solicitation.

The solicitation allows for multiple funding instrument types, including cooperative agreements and procurement contracts. In practical terms, that signals NASA may choose an award mechanism based on the nature of the proposed work and the level of NASA involvement anticipated. Cooperative agreements are typically used when substantial NASA involvement is expected during performance, while procurement contracts are more commonly used when NASA is acquiring specific deliverables for agency use, though the exact determination is governed by the policies in the main ROA NRA and the specifics of each selected proposal.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to any type of entity (for example, universities, companies, nonprofits, research institutions, and potentially individuals), subject to any clarifications contained in the full solicitation text under the eligibility section. Because this SSAT2 posting functions as an amendment, any special eligibility conditions, teaming requirements, or participation limitations would be found in the original ROA NRA documents and the Appendix A.2 topic descriptions rather than in the summary posting itself.

Key dates included in the posting show it was posted and created on May 2, 2012. The proposal closing date is June 18, 2012 (both the original and current closing date are the same), and the archive date is July 18, 2012. NASA emphasizes that the specific details for the new Appendix A.2 topics, including topic-specific proposal due dates (which may differ depending on the topic), must be accessed through NSPIRES, NASA's Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System, under the open solicitation listing for ROA NRA NNH11ZEA001N. In other words, the authoritative requirements, deliverables, evaluation criteria, and any topic-by-topic deadlines are maintained in NSPIRES rather than fully reproduced in this short notice.

For access and support, NASA directs applicants to NSPIRES at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ to find the Appendix A.2 topic text and instructions. If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed is Tony Strazisar via roa@nasa.gov, and technical support for the solicitation system is available through NAIS Support at nais.support@nasa.gov. The overall message of the opportunity is that NASA is expanding the 2011 aeronautics research solicitation with additional SSAT2-related topics and is seeking research proposals aligned with those new Appendix A.2 areas, under the existing rules of the original ROA NRA.
