Opportunity Summary:
E.2 Leading Edge Aeronautics Research for NASA (LEARN) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) 2011" umbrella solicitation. It functions as a formal amendment (Amendment #1) to the original ROA synopsis that was first posted on August 30, 2011, and its main purpose is to add and solicit proposals for new aeronautics research topics contained in Appendix A.2. In practical terms, this notice does not replace the original ROA announcement; it updates it by introducing additional topic areas under the LEARN appendix while keeping the rest of the original solicitation terms and conditions unchanged.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NNH11ZEA001N (LEARN) and is categorized as a discretionary research and development program in the Science and Technology and other R&D activity area. NASA indicates that awards may be made either as grants or cooperative agreements, which generally means proposers should be prepared for anything from a more traditional assistance award (grant) to a more collaborative arrangement (cooperative agreement) where NASA may expect substantial involvement during performance. The listing falls under CFDA 43.002 (Aeronautics), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the opportunity summary, so applicants typically would not be required to contribute a specific percentage of project costs as a condition of award (though proposers should still confirm any budget instructions in the full solicitation text).
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning the call is broadly open to many types of applicants, such as universities, nonprofits, industry, and other organizations, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may be provided in the detailed solicitation documents. The key emphasis, however, is that applicants must consult the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) because the specific research topics, detailed requirements, and proposal due dates for the new Appendix A.2 items are provided there. NASA explicitly directs interested parties to NSPIRES under the open solicitation for ROA NRA NNH11ZEA001N to access the authoritative topic descriptions and deadlines, which implies that the LEARN appendix topics may have their own individual due dates rather than a single uniform deadline.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 20, 2012. The closing date shown in the summary is September 30, 2012, with an archive date of October 30, 2012. Because this posting is an amendment to an existing ROA solicitation, the most important action for applicants is to rely on NSPIRES for the current, topic-specific submission instructions and to ensure proposals align with the newly introduced Appendix A.2 topics under LEARN. For access issues or questions, the notice provides points of contact including Tony Strazisar (roa@nasa.gov) and NAIS Support (nais.support@nasa.gov), with the suggestion that these contacts be used if there are difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically or for assistance related to the funding announcement.
