RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN AERONAUTICS 2010 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NASA grant opportunity titled "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2010" (funding opportunity number NNH10ZEA001N) is a broad research solicitation run out of NASA Headquarters that supports science and technology research and development in aeronautics. It is issued under CFDA 43.002 (Aeronautics) and makes awards through grants and cooperative agreements. The program is structured as a NASA Research Announcement (NRA), meaning it is organized around multiple technical thrust areas and topic appendices, each with its own scope and proposal instructions. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, and eligibility is unrestricted, which means any type of organization may apply (for example, universities, companies, nonprofits, and government-affiliated research entities), subject to any specific eligibility clarifications that may appear in the detailed solicitation text.

This particular notice is not the original solicitation release, but a modification to the synopsis that was first posted on June 4, 2010. The key change described in the modification is the addition of new research topics in "Systems Analysis for Technologies" and "Concept Characterization" within NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) Project. These new topics are specifically located in Appendix D.2 and were introduced under Amendment #10 to the NRA. In practical terms, that means the overall solicitation framework remains the same, but the amendment expands or updates the menu of research areas NASA is willing to fund under this announcement, with a focus on analytic methods and concept-level evaluation tied to environmentally responsible aircraft and aviation system concepts.

Because the NRA is organized through appendices and amendments, the notice directs applicants to NASA's NSPIRES system (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) for the authoritative and current details. Applicants are instructed to navigate to "Open Solicitations," select the NRA by its identifier (NNH10ZEA001N), and then review the amendments to find Amendment #10 and the content for Appendix D.2. That is where the full topic descriptions, any special proposal content requirements, evaluation considerations, and the exact proposal due dates for those newly announced ERA topics would be posted. The notice emphasizes that, aside from these new topics, all other elements from the original posting remain unchanged, so prospective applicants would still need to follow the established NRA rules, submission format, and any requirements tied to the relevant thrust area tables and appendices.

In terms of timing, the opportunity uses multiple proposal due dates rather than a single deadline. The original schedule indicated proposal due dates beginning on or about July 15, 2010 and continuing through July 31, 2011, but the updated "current closing date" extends the period so that due dates continue through September 30, 2011. The exact deadlines are not stated in the synopsis because they vary by thrust area and topic; instead, NASA points applicants to the NRA tables and appendices (and, for the new topics, the specific amendment materials in NSPIRES) for the controlling due-date information. The posting history also reflects that the modification was created on July 26, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on July 26, 2012, which is consistent with the solicitation running across many months with rolling or staggered topic deadlines.

For support and questions, NASA provides points of contact for access issues and general assistance. If an applicant has trouble retrieving the full announcement electronically, they are directed to contact Tony Strazisar at NASA via roa@nasa.gov, and NSPIRES/NAIS support is available via nais.support@nasa.gov. The synopsis indicates that direct questions about the funding announcement should be submitted through the listed channels, with NSPIRES serving as the main platform for the official solicitation text, amendments, and submission workflow.
