Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2008 Cassini Data Analysis (CDAP) is a program element within NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2008 (ROSES 2008) solicitation, issued under Funding Opportunity Number NNH08ZDA001N. Through this NASA Research Announcement, NASA seeks proposals that support basic and applied research and related technology development across the Science Mission Directorate, spanning Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. While the CDAP label points to work centered on Cassini mission data analysis, it is offered as part of a much larger umbrella solicitation that also funds theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; suborbital investigations using aircraft, balloons, or sounding rockets; development of techniques and concepts for future missions; maturation of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; laboratory work on extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial analog samples used to validate NASA observations; determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret data and samples; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions; integrated Earth system model development; and applied systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits and usable information products.
The opportunity is discretionary and supports science and technology research and development activities. NASA anticipates making awards using several possible mechanisms depending on the proposer and the work scope, including grants and cooperative agreements (and, in some cases, contracts or inter- or intra-agency transfers). Typical periods of performance are about four years, although certain program elements may specify different durations. The scale of funding varies widely by the type of work proposed: smaller, focused efforts such as data analysis can be funded at under 100,000 dollars per year, while larger, more extensive efforts such as development of science experiment hardware can exceed 1 million dollars per year. For each individual program element within ROSES, the available budget generally ranges from less than one million to several million dollars, which means NASA may select anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals depending on program priorities and the quality and quantity of submissions.
Eligibility is broadly open and described as unrestricted, meaning proposals may be submitted by many types of organizations, domestic or foreign, including universities, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and other government agencies, with no stated restriction on the number of submissions or teaming arrangements. A key policy point is that when non-US organizations participate, NASA’s standard approach applies: such investigations must be conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, meaning NASA does not send funding directly to the non-US entity even if they collaborate scientifically.
Operationally, ROSES 2008 is accessed through NASA’s NSPIRES system (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) via the NASA Research Opportunities homepage. Proposals are submitted electronically, either through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, and they must be transmitted by an authorized organizational representative. NASA strongly emphasizes early registration and system familiarity: any organization planning to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and those using Grants.gov must be registered there as well, with authorized representatives clearly identified. In addition, all principal investigators and any other named participants such as co-investigators must be individually registered in NSPIRES. NASA also requests Notices of Intent for most program elements, with early NOIs due beginning March 14, 2008, and proposal due dates beginning May 9, 2008 and running through March 27, 2009 depending on the specific element. For the listing captured with this CDAP entry, the posting date is March 10, 2008, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2008, and an archive date of June 29, 2008.
Applicants looking for the correct program element and application package are directed to use Grants.gov advanced search and enter the solicitation number NNH08ZDA001N (as instructed in the announcement) to pull up the list of all ROSES program elements, then select the specific funding number associated with the element they intend to pursue. Program-element-specific requirements, priorities, and contacts are provided in each element’s Summary of Key Information, while general ROSES policy and procedure questions are directed to the senior advisor for research and analysis in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Dr. Yvonne Pendleton (email sara@nasa.gov, phone 202-358-1182).
