ROA 2008 C.2 NextGen Airspace Project (AS) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

NASA Headquarters issued this funding opportunity under the title "ROA 2008 C.2 NextGen Airspace Project (AS)" with Funding Opportunity Number NNH08ZEA001N AS1. It was released as part of NASA's Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) framework through the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and is structured as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) under FAR 35.016 and NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) 1835.016. In practical terms, that means NASA is seeking research and development ideas that advance agency mission needs, and proposals are evaluated more on technical merit and relevance than on a prescriptive statement of work typical of many procurement solicitations.

The announcement supports science and technology and other research and development activities connected to the NextGen Airspace Project. While the short summary text does not list the individual technical topics, it makes clear that applicants are expected to select a specific program element within the broader announcement and then use the funding number tied to that program element to download the correct application package. The full technical scope, deliverables, and any topic-specific instructions would therefore be found in the complete solicitation text and its associated program-element descriptions rather than in the brief posting metadata.

NASA indicated that eligibility is "unrestricted," meaning it is broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full announcement under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The posting also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to participation because proposers are not required to contribute a defined portion of project costs from non-federal sources.

A key feature of this opportunity is flexibility in award mechanisms. NASA explicitly reserved the right to choose the appropriate award instrument for each selected proposal, regardless of the fact that the opportunity may be posted on FedBizOpps (now SAM.gov), Grants.gov, or both. The listed instrument types include grants, cooperative agreements, "other," and procurement contracts. This is important for applicants because the award type affects reporting obligations, government involvement, intellectual property clauses, and the overall relationship with NASA. For example, cooperative agreements generally imply substantial NASA involvement during the period of performance compared to a standard grant, while a procurement contract is used when the government is acquiring goods or services for its own direct use.

Timing details in the posting show it was posted and created on June 10, 2008, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2008, and an archive date of August 20, 2008. That indicates the solicitation is historical and no longer open, but the structure is still useful as a reference for how NASA frames BAA-style aeronautics research solicitations and how applicants were directed to navigate program-element-specific application packages.

For questions, NASA directed general policy and procedure inquiries to Jay Dryer, Senior Technical Advisor at NASA Headquarters within the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, reachable at NASA_roa@nasa.gov. The same contact was provided for assistance if applicants had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, and the notice references an additional information link where the complete text of the announcement could be obtained.
