ROSES 2008 Advanced Component Technology | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2008 Advanced Component Technology is a program element within NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2008 (ROSES 2008) solicitation, issued as NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH08ZDA001N by NASA Headquarters under the Science Mission Directorate. The overall ROSES 2008 call is designed to fund both basic and applied research, as well as technology development, that supports NASA science priorities across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant for teams proposing work that strengthens the scientific return and mission readiness of NASA's current and future space and Earth science efforts, including advanced component and technology work that can be infused into missions.

The solicitation is intentionally broad and covers a wide spectrum of activities. Examples include theory, modeling, and analysis of Science Mission Directorate (SMD) data; airborne, balloon, and suborbital rocket investigations; development of experimental techniques and instrumentation approaches suitable for future missions; early concept development for future SMD missions; and advanced technologies relevant to those missions. It also includes laboratory techniques and analysis methods for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples used to validate or interpret Earth-observing mission data. Additional supported areas include determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space data and samples, Earth surface observations and field campaigns that complement SMD missions, development of integrated Earth system models, and applied systems that translate Earth science data into societal or operational benefits.

Funding levels vary widely depending on scope and the specific program element. The notice describes awards ranging from under 100,000 dollars per year for narrow or focused efforts such as data analysis, to more than 1 million dollars per year for large activities such as building or advancing science experiment hardware. At the program-element level, NASA indicates that available funding may range from less than one million to several million dollars, which typically results in selecting anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals, depending on objectives and proposal quality. No cost sharing or matching is required.

NASA may issue awards using different instruments based on the proposer type and the nature of work. These can include grants and cooperative agreements (explicitly listed for this opportunity), and in some cases contracts and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The typical performance period is about four years, though some elements may specify shorter or longer durations.

Eligibility is essentially unrestricted and open to a wide array of organizations, including universities, industry, nonprofits, NASA centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and other government agencies, with no stated restriction on teaming arrangements. Foreign organizations may participate, but NASA notes a key policy point: collaborations involving non-US organizations must be conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, meaning NASA generally does not transfer money to non-US entities under those arrangements.

The ROSES 2008 timeline spans multiple due dates because each program element sets its own schedule within the umbrella solicitation. For ROSES 2008, proposal due dates start on May 9, 2008 and run through March 27, 2009, with Notices of Intent requested for most elements and the first NOI due March 14, 2008. For the specific posted grant record included in your source, key administrative dates shown include a posted date of May 9, 2008, an original closing date of July 30, 2008, and a current closing date of August 4, 2008, with an archive date of August 29, 2008. Applicants needed to pay close attention to the exact program element they were targeting, since requirements and deadlines could differ across elements.

Submission is electronic only, and NASA requires organizational and individual registrations in advance. Proposals must be submitted by an authorized official of the organization, and all principal investigators and other participants such as co-investigators must be registered in NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system). Applicants could submit through NSPIRES or via Grants.gov, but organizations using Grants.gov also had to register there and ensure their authorized organizational representative information matched submission requirements. NASA explicitly encourages applicants to start registration and system familiarization early to avoid last-minute issues.

To find the correct program element, applicants were directed to either NSPIRES or to use Grants.gov advanced search and enter the funding opportunity number NNH08ZDA001N (with the associated element suffix where applicable) to pull up the list of posted elements, then download the package tied to the specific element number they intended to pursue. Program-element specific questions were to be routed to the program officers listed in each element's Summary of Key Information, while general policy and procedural questions for the NRA could be directed to Dr. Yvonne Pendleton at NASA Headquarters (contact details provided in the announcement).

In short, ROSES 2008 Advanced Component Technology sits inside NASA's main annual ROSES research call and is aimed at funding a wide range of science-enabling and mission-relevant research and technology development, with flexible award sizes, broad eligibility, and structured electronic submission through NSPIRES and/or Grants.gov across multiple deadlines tied to individual program elements.
