CENTER FOR RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION IN SOLAR HELIOSPHERIC AND SOLAR PLANETARY | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) grant opportunity titled "Center for Research and Exploration in Solar Heliospheric and Solar Planetary" (Funding Opportunity Number NNG10331134C) was issued as a discretionary science and technology research and development effort using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. In practical terms, that means NASA anticipated an award structure where the agency would have substantial involvement during the performance of the work, which is typical for large, mission-aligned research centers or collaborative research programs rather than hands-off grants.

What is posted here is not the original solicitation itself, but a modification to the earlier synopsis that had been posted on August 27, 2010. The main purpose of the modification was administrative and informational: NASA consolidated and published answers to questions it had received about the Draft CAN (Cooperative Agreement Notice) that had been hosted online. The notice emphasizes that the question-and-answer period had already ended, with responses due by September 10, 2010, and it reiterates that the opportunity was already closed as of that date. The posting and creation dates (late August 2010 and mid-September 2010) reflect that this update was meant to clarify the draft and ensure everyone had access to the same consolidated guidance after questions came in.

The announcement makes clear that all procurement-related documents (the solicitation and any amendments) would be made available over the internet through NASA's GSFC Business Opportunities site, and it places the burden on prospective offerors to keep checking that site for updates. It also states that offerors were responsible for downloading their own copies of the solicitation and any amendments, which is standard language intended to avoid claims that an applicant missed an update because it was not pushed to them directly.

In terms of who could apply, eligibility covered a range of higher-education and nonprofit organizations: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and also nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (again, other than institutions of higher education). The listing indicates there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so proposers were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although specific project budgets and justifications would still have needed to meet NASA requirements.

The activity category is broadly described as science and technology and other research and development, with the CFDA number listed as 00.000 (not elsewhere classified), which often appears in older federal listings or cases where a specific CFDA program identifier is not being used. The archive date of September 14, 2011 indicates how long the opportunity remained publicly posted in archived form after the close.

For access and support, the notice provides points of contact at NASA (including email addresses for Lakeshia M. Robinson and Dawn M. Fountain) as well as NAIS Support (nais.support@nasa.gov) for technical difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically. Overall, the substance of this particular posting is essentially a procedural update: it signals that NASA compiled applicant questions about the draft cooperative agreement notice, reminds applicants where the official documents would be posted, and confirms that the response deadline had already passed on September 10, 2010.
