ROA 2011 C.2 NextGen Concepts and Technology Development Project (CTD1) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROA 2011 C.2 NextGen Concepts and Technology Development Project (CTD1) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader umbrella solicitation called Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2011. The item described here is not an entirely new standalone program so much as an update (a modification) to an existing solicitation that was originally posted on August 30, 2011. This particular posting announces Amendment number 1 to the NASA Research Announcement (NRA) identified as NNH11ZEA001N, and its main purpose is to invite proposals responding to newly added research topics collected in a section labeled Appendix A.2. In other words, the core solicitation remains in place, but NASA expanded it by adding new topic areas and is specifically asking researchers to submit proposals aligned with those new topics.

The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and NASA indicates it expects to make awards using either grants or cooperative agreements. In practice, that means selected projects could be funded through a standard assistance award (a grant) or through a cooperative agreement, which typically involves more substantial NASA involvement during the performance of the work. The activity area is science and technology and other research and development, and the CFDA number listed is 43.002 (Aeronautics), placing it clearly within NASA aeronautics R and D. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which generally means proposers are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or selection (though voluntary cost share can sometimes appear in proposals depending on institutional practices).

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, with the caveat that any specific limitations would be spelled out in the detailed eligibility language inside the full solicitation. This kind of open eligibility commonly allows participation from universities, nonprofits, for-profit companies, research institutes, and potentially other qualified entities, provided they meet any administrative and technical requirements NASA sets out in the NRA and in the specific appendix topic instructions.

A key operational detail is that the real specifics for this amendment, including the exact descriptions of the new topics in Appendix A.2 and any topic-specific due dates or instructions, are not fully contained in the short synopsis. Instead, applicants are directed to NASA NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and instructed to look under Open Solicitations for ROA NRA NNH11ZEA001N. That is where the Appendix A.2 content is maintained and where proposers would typically find requirements such as page limits, required proposal structure, evaluation criteria, relevant points of contact, and submission instructions. The synopsis emphasizes that, aside from the addition of Appendix A.2 topics via Amendment 1, all other aspects of the original posting remain unchanged.

The posting dates show it was created and posted on February 21, 2012. The proposal closing date is listed as April 3, 2012 (with the original and current closing dates matching), and the archive date is May 3, 2012, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and later moved into an archived status after the submission window passed. For access issues with the full announcement, the synopsis lists a support contact (Tony Strazisar, NAIS Support), while technical or programmatic questions are intended to be directed to the points of contact identified in the full funding announcement materials.

In practical terms, the opportunity is best understood as NASA opening an additional set of aeronautics research and technology development topics under its 2011 aeronautics research opportunities framework, using NSPIRES as the system of record for topic details and proposal submission. Applicants interested in CTD1 would have needed to review Appendix A.2 in NSPIRES carefully, since that appendix governs what NASA is specifically seeking, how proposals should be targeted, and whether any topic-specific submission dates or requirements differ from the general solicitation instructions.
