Opportunity Summary:
NASA Headquarters released a grant and cooperative agreement opportunity titled "C.2 NextGen Concepts and Technology Development Project (CTD1)" under the broader umbrella solicitation "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2013" (ROA), originally issued on December 18, 2012. This particular posting is not a standalone brand-new solicitation; it is a modification to the existing ROA (NRA NNH13ZEA001N) and specifically adds or updates content through Amendment #1 by introducing new research topics collected in Appendix C.2. In practical terms, NASA is inviting the research community to submit proposals that respond to these newly listed C.2 topics, while keeping the rest of the original ROA rules, requirements, and administrative structure the same as before.
The opportunity supports aeronautics-focused science and technology research and development, aligned with NASA's NextGen concept and technology development efforts. The funding mechanisms available are grants and cooperative agreements, meaning awards may range from relatively hands-off grant support to more collaborative cooperative agreements where NASA expects substantial programmatic involvement during performance. The listing indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants by not requiring non-federal dollars as a condition of award.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," which typically means proposals may be submitted by a wide range of entity types (such as universities, nonprofits, for-profits, and other organizations), subject to any additional clarifications that may appear in the full text of the solicitation. The program is cataloged under CFDA 43.002 (Aeronautics), confirming it sits within NASA's aeronautics R&D assistance portfolio.
For applicants, the most important operational detail is that the specific C.2 topics, along with any topic-specific instructions and proposal due dates, are not fully spelled out in the synopsis itself. Instead, NASA directs applicants to retrieve the details through NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ by navigating to the open solicitation for ROA NRA NNH13ZEA001N and locating Appendix C.2 content added by Amendment #1. This is where applicants would find the precise research areas being requested, any constraints on scope, formatting or page limits, required deliverables, and whether different topics carry different deadlines or submission requirements.
Key dates provided in the summary record show the opportunity was posted and created on January 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 4, 2013, and an archive date of April 3, 2013. Those dates indicate a relatively short application window typical of an amendment-driven topic addendum within an existing NRA framework.
NASA provides points of contact for help accessing the announcement and for system assistance. If there are issues obtaining the full announcement electronically, applicants are directed to contact Susan Minor at roa@nasa.gov. For NSPIRES/NAIS technical support, the contact is nais.support@nasa.gov. Overall, the action item for prospective applicants is to consult NSPIRES for Appendix C.2 topic language under NNH13ZEA001N, then prepare and submit a proposal that complies with the unchanged baseline requirements of the "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2013" solicitation while addressing the new CTD1-focused topics introduced by the amendment.
