Opportunity Summary:

ROA 2011 B.4 Atmospheric Environment Safety Technologies (AEST1) is a NASA Headquarters grant/cooperative agreement opportunity released under the broader "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) 2011" umbrella. The funding opportunity number is NNH11ZEA001N, and it supports science, technology, and other research and development activities aligned with NASA Aeronautics (CFDA 43.002). The main purpose of this specific notice is to announce that NASA issued a modification (Amendment #1) to the original ROA 2011 synopsis that had first been posted on August 30, 2011, and that this modification adds new proposal topics in a specific section of the solicitation: Appendix A.2.

What is being solicited here is not a brand-new standalone program announcement from scratch, but an update to the existing ROA NRA (NASA Research Announcement) to capture additional research needs in the Atmospheric Environment Safety Technologies area. In practical terms, the amendment opens the door for proposers to submit proposals addressing the newly added topics listed in Appendix A.2. NASA directs applicants to find the authoritative, topic-by-topic details (including the exact proposal due dates associated with each topic) inside NSPIRES, NASA's Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System, by navigating to the "Open Solicitations" area for ROA NRA NNH11ZEA001N. The notice emphasizes that aside from the addition of these new Appendix A.2 topics, all other parts of the original ROA 2011 posting remain unchanged.

From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and allows for either a Grant or a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument type, which typically means selected work could involve anything from relatively independent investigator-led research (more typical of grants) to projects where NASA expects a more substantial level of collaboration or involvement (more typical of cooperative agreements). There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as "Unrestricted," meaning the solicitation is generally open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should still review any eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full solicitation text or the "Additional Information on Eligibility" field within the official posting.

Key dates tied to the posting are: it was posted and created on January 25, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 26, 2012, and an archive date of April 25, 2012. Because the notice points applicants to NSPIRES for topic-specific due dates, prospective proposers would need to confirm whether any individual Appendix A.2 topics carry unique deadlines, milestones, or requirements that differ from the overall closing date shown in the summary record.

For access and support, NASA indicates that the full text and complete instructions are available through NSPIRES. If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, applicants are directed to contact Tony Strazisar at roa@nasa.gov, and NSPIRES/NAIS support is available at nais.support@nasa.gov. The core takeaway is that AEST1 is an amended ROA 2011 aeronautics research call focused on atmospheric environment safety technology topics, with the definitive technical scope and deadlines contained within the NSPIRES listing for NNH11ZEA001N.
