Opportunity Summary:

NASA Ames Research Center is seeking proposals for a cooperative agreement under a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) focused on collaborative research with Ames Human Systems Integration Research Area (HSIRA). The opportunity is centered on human systems integration and human factors research that supports NASA missions, and it is structured specifically as a cooperative agreement, meaning NASA anticipates substantial involvement and collaboration with the selected recipient during the performance of the work. The full solicitation materials and electronic submission process are handled through NASA's NSPIRES system (http://nspires.nasaprs.com), which is where applicants must find the official instructions, required forms, and any detailed technical scope or evaluation criteria.

Eligibility is aimed at organizations that can demonstrate strong academic capability in human factors. In practical terms, NASA is looking for institutions with access to a robust graduate-level Human Factors degree program, along with access to a strong undergraduate pathway in Human Factors or closely related training. That undergraduate requirement can be satisfied through a dedicated human factors program or through related departments offering a minor, certificate, or concentration tied to human factors, including fields such as psychology, industrial engineering, aeronautical engineering, or computer science. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than universities), reflecting NASA's intent to work with educational and nonprofit research partners under the governing assistance regulations.

Key dates drive the submission timeline. A Notice of Intent (NOI) to propose is requested by March 15, 2011, which serves as an early signal to NASA about expected proposal volume and topic interest. Full proposals are due May 1, 2011, and applicants must ensure that the electronic Cover Page, Proposal Summary, and Budget Summary are submitted by the proposal due date as part of the required submission package. NASA planned to announce selections around June 1, 2011, with an anticipated award date of July 1, 2011. The opportunity was posted March 10, 2011 and archived March 10, 2012, with the original and current closing date both listed as May 1, 2011.

From an administrative standpoint, the solicitation is issued under 14 CFR Part 1260, which governs NASA financial assistance awards (commonly used for grants and cooperative agreements) for educational and nonprofit institutions. Although the opportunity may appear on platforms like FedBizOpps and/or Grants.gov, NASA notes that it retains discretion to choose the most appropriate award instrument for proposals selected under this announcement, reinforcing that the definitive process and terms are controlled by NASA and the NSPIRES-posted solicitation. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The program is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with CFDA number 43.003 (Exploration), and NASA expected to make one award under this notice.

For questions and submission-access issues, the solicitation directs applicants to contact Beatrice Morales, Grant Officer at NASA Ames Research Center (Beatrice.M.Morales@nasa.gov). Additional contacts listed include Rachel Khattab (rachel.khattab@nasa.gov) and NAIS Support (nais.support@nasa.gov), which is relevant for technical assistance with NASA's electronic systems. The funding opportunity number for reference is NNA11364623A, and the official title is HUMAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION RESEARCH.
