Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity was issued by NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center under Funding Opportunity Number NND11366916O and carried the title "Opportunities for Payloads Requiring a Near Zero or Reduced Gravity Environment Maturing Crosscutting Technologies that Advance Multiple Future Space Missions to Flight Readiness Status." In plain terms, it was framed as a discretionary research and development solicitation meant to support technology maturation work that benefits more than one future space mission, with a focus on payloads that need access to near-zero gravity or reduced-gravity environments as part of their development and testing path. The listing falls under the Science and Technology / Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA 43.009 (Cross Agency Support). It was open broadly, with eligibility described as unrestricted, meaning organizations of many types could potentially participate, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Even though the title and framing suggest a call for proposals to fly or test payloads in reduced-gravity conditions (for example, using specialized flight profiles that temporarily simulate microgravity, or other environments that approximate low-gravity conditions), the most important practical takeaway is that this specific synopsis was later cancelled completely. The notice explicitly states that the item posted on December 21, 2010 is cancelled in its entirety, and that there are no responses due. While the original closing date was listed as February 3, 2011 (the date proposals were due), the "CurrentClosingDate" field was updated to indicate that no submissions are being accepted because the synopsis has been cancelled. The archive date is December 21, 2011, which signals that it was formally moved into an archived status after the cancellation.
Because the synopsis was cancelled, the announcement directs interested parties to a different synopsis number, NND11122110O, which would be the correct reference point for any replacement, continuation, or corrected version of the opportunity. In other words, anyone who intended to respond to this particular posting would need to stop using NND11366916O and instead look up NND11122110O for the authoritative and current solicitation details (if that subsequent synopsis was active at the time).
For administrative and access issues, NASA provided points of contact connected to the announcement: Richard M. Swanson (Richard.M.Swanson@nasa.gov), Andrea C. Basham (andrea.c.basham@nasa.gov), and NAIS Support (nais.support@nasa.gov) for help accessing the full announcement electronically. The listing also includes an "Additional Information Link" directing readers to the full text, but given the cancellation, that full text would primarily serve historical context unless the linked material redirected to the replacement synopsis.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this NASA grant opportunity?
The opportunity was titled "Opportunities for Payloads Requiring a Near Zero or Reduced Gravity Environment Maturing Crosscutting Technologies that Advance Multiple Future Space Missions to Flight Readiness Status."
Which NASA center issued this opportunity?
It was issued by NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) for this posting?
The Funding Opportunity Number was NND11366916O.
What type of funding opportunity was it described as?
It was framed as a discretionary research and development solicitation supporting technology maturation work.
What was the main technical focus of the solicitation?
The focus was on maturing crosscutting technologies that advance multiple future space missions to flight readiness status, specifically for payloads that require near-zero gravity or reduced-gravity environments for development and testing.
What kinds of environments were implied for testing and development?
Based on the description, it implied reduced-gravity or near-zero-gravity environments (for example, specialized flight profiles that temporarily simulate microgravity, or other low-gravity-approximating environments) as part of the payload testing and development path.
What activity category does this listing fall under?
The activity category was Science and Technology / Research and Development.
What CFDA number was associated with this opportunity?
The listing was associated with CFDA 43.009 (Cross Agency Support).
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning organizations of many types could potentially participate.
Was cost sharing or matching required?
No. The synopsis states it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Is this opportunity currently accepting submissions?
No. The notice states the item posted on December 21, 2010 was cancelled in its entirety, and there are no responses due.
What does "cancelled in its entirety" mean for applicants?
It means proposals or other responses should not be submitted under this posting, and NASA is not accepting responses for it.
What was the original proposal due date before cancellation?
The original closing date was listed as February 3, 2011.
Why does the record show a "CurrentClosingDate" indicating no submissions?
The "CurrentClosingDate" was updated to reflect that the synopsis has been cancelled and therefore no submissions are being accepted.
When was this opportunity archived?
The archive date is December 21, 2011, indicating it was moved into an archived status after cancellation.
If this synopsis is cancelled, is there a replacement or alternate reference?
Yes. The announcement directs interested parties to a different synopsis number: NND11122110O. That would be the correct reference point for any replacement, continuation, or corrected version of the opportunity.
Should applicants use NND11366916O for any current submission?
No. Anyone who intended to respond to this posting would need to stop using NND11366916O and instead look up NND11122110O for current and authoritative solicitation details (if active at the time).
Where should interested parties look for the full announcement text?
