Opportunity Summary:
ROA 2010 C.2 NextGen Concepts and Technology Development Project (CTD1) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader NASA Research Announcement (NRA) called Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA), identified as NNH10ZEA001N. It is aimed at supporting foundational research and higher-level, system-focused research that advances the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) portfolio, with this specific element emphasizing concepts and technology development tied to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to move promising ideas beyond isolated technical components and toward integrated concepts that can meaningfully improve how the national airspace system operates, especially in the area of air traffic management modernization.
The ROA NRA framework covers five major ARMD programs, and proposers are expected to align their work with the most appropriate program element described in the NRA appendices. Those five programs are the Airspace Systems Program, the Aviation Safety Program, the Fundamental Aeronautics Program, the Integrated Systems Research Program, and the Aeronautics Test Program. The Airspace Systems Program is specifically positioned to address the air traffic management research needs of the NextGen initiative as defined by the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO), which means proposals may target improvements in capacity, efficiency, predictability, and overall performance of future air traffic operations. The Aviation Safety Program focuses on anticipating and reducing safety risks for both emerging and current aircraft operating in today’s system and the evolving NextGen environment. The Fundamental Aeronautics Program supports longer-horizon research across all flight regimes, producing data, methods, and tools that can apply broadly across vehicle types, atmospheres, and speeds. The Integrated Systems Research Program emphasizes integrated demonstrations and assessments in relevant environments to show benefits at a system level. The Aeronautics Test Program concentrates on the health and modernization of aeronautics testing infrastructure, including development of new test instrumentation and test technologies needed to support the nation’s testing demands.
Administratively, this opportunity is structured so that proposal requirements, deadlines, evaluation criteria, and points of contact are provided in the NRA appendices tied to each program element. Proposals must be submitted electronically through NASA’s NSPIRES system (http://nspires.nasaprs.com/) or through Grants.gov, and the submission must be made by an authorized organizational representative rather than only by the principal investigator. Organizations intending to apply must register in NSPIRES in advance and identify their authorized representative(s), and investigators and other team members must also meet the relevant registration requirements. NASA strongly encourages applicants to begin the registration and system familiarization process early, since electronic systems often require profile completion and role validation before submission is possible.
Eligibility is broadly open to many organization types, including universities, industry, and nonprofit organizations, with the notable exceptions that government organizations and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are not included under the open participation language stated in the announcement. The award instrument type listed for this element is a cooperative agreement, and there is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice is treated as a broad agency announcement under FAR 35.016 and NASA FAR Supplement 1835.016, and NASA notes it retains discretion to select the most appropriate award instrument for proposals chosen under the announcement.
Key dates and listing details included: the opportunity was posted June 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2010, and an archive date of August 21, 2010. General policy and procedure questions for the NRA could be directed to Tony Strazisar at NASA Headquarters via NASA_roa@nasa.gov. For help accessing the full announcement or questions tied to this specific program element, the listed contacts are Parimal H. Kopardekar (Principal Investigator) at Parimal.H.Kopardekar@nasa.gov and Rudolph Aquilina (Project Manager) at rudolph.a.aquilina@nasa.gov, with a preference that questions be submitted in writing.
