Opportunity Summary:
B.3 Vehicle System Safety Technologies (VSST2) is a NASA Headquarters aeronautics research funding opportunity released as an amendment to the broader NASA solicitation "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2011" (ROA), originally posted on August 30, 2011. The April 26, 2012 notice functions as a modification to that earlier synopsis, adding new research topics under Appendix A.2 through Amendment #1 to the umbrella solicitation identified as ROA NRA NNH11ZEA001N. In practical terms, NASA is not replacing the original ROA; it is expanding it by introducing additional, focused topics specifically associated with vehicle system safety technologies, while keeping the rest of the solicitation structure and requirements the same as the original announcement.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NNH11ZEA001N VSST2, with the title "B.3 Vehicle System Safety Technologies (VSST2)." It falls under the discretionary funding category and supports science and technology research and development within aeronautics (CFDA 43.002, Aeronautics). NASA indicates that awards may be made through either grants or cooperative agreements, which generally means some projects may involve a more substantial level of NASA involvement and collaboration (typical of cooperative agreements) depending on the nature of the proposed work and how NASA plans to engage during performance.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to any type of applicant entity, assuming the applicant meets any conditions or clarifications that may be spelled out in the full solicitation text. The listing also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so proposers are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although proposers sometimes still choose to contribute resources to strengthen a proposal depending on program norms.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on April 26, 2012, with a proposal closing date of June 4, 2012. The archive date is July 4, 2012, indicating that after that point the posting would be moved out of active status in the listing system. Importantly, NASA emphasizes that the specific details for the new Appendix A.2 topics, including the exact proposal due dates and topic descriptions, are hosted in NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) under the open solicitations area for ROA NRA NNH11ZEA001N. That is where applicants would find the authoritative topic write-ups, instructions, and any additional constraints or submission requirements tied to VSST2.
For access and support, NASA directs applicants to NSPIRES at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ to view Appendix A.2 and submit proposals. If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, the notice provides points of contact including Tony Strazisar (roa@nasa.gov) and NAIS Support (nais.support@nasa.gov). Overall, VSST2 is best understood as a targeted aeronautics safety research call nested within a larger ROA framework, using the same overarching solicitation rules but adding new topic opportunities that proposers must retrieve and follow from NSPIRES.
