Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2008 Hurricane Science Research (Funding Opportunity Number NNH08ZDA001N) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2008 (ROSES 2008) NASA Research Announcement. In practical terms, it is part of NASA's yearly omnibus solicitation that invites research proposals spanning multiple Science Mission Directorate (SMD) areas, including Earth Science (where hurricane-focused work typically fits), as well as Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. The solicitation supports both basic and applied research and also includes technology development when it advances NASA science goals. The announcement was posted in late February 2008 (with availability noted for mid-February via NSPIRES), and it points applicants to NASA's NSPIRES portal and Grants.gov to find and submit specific program elements under the ROSES umbrella.
The opportunity is intentionally broad in the kinds of work it will fund. It covers activities such as theory development, numerical modeling, and analysis of existing NASA science data; the design and execution of investigations using aircraft, stratospheric balloons, or suborbital rockets; development of new experiment techniques suitable for future NASA missions; early mission concept studies; and development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions. It also includes laboratory analysis techniques for returned extraterrestrial samples and supporting terrestrial samples, determination of key atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret observations, Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA Earth system science missions, integrated Earth system model development, and the creation of applied information systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits. In the hurricane science context, this scope aligns with work like improving storm observation strategies, enhancing models that represent hurricane dynamics and intensification, using satellite and airborne datasets to evaluate storm structure and environmental conditions, and building decision-support style applications that use Earth observations in ways that benefit public needs.
Funding levels and award structures vary widely by the specific program element, reflecting the fact that some projects are compact data analysis efforts while others involve hardware, platforms, or multi-year team activities. The announcement notes that awards can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused studies (for example, targeted data analysis) to more than $1 million per year for large, complex efforts (for example, development of science experiment hardware). For any given program element, NASA indicates the total funding pool may range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means the number of awards could be as few as a handful or as many as several dozen, depending on the element's goals and the quality and quantity of proposals received. The typical performance period is four years, though some program elements may specify shorter or longer timeframes.
Eligibility is broadly open and largely unrestricted. NASA allows participation from U.S. and non-U.S. organizations and across organization types, including universities, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and other government agencies, with no stated restriction on team size or teaming arrangements. A key condition is NASA's policy for non-U.S. participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations must be conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, meaning NASA will not transfer award funds to the non-U.S. entity even if they are part of the collaboration.
Administratively, proposals must be submitted electronically, and submission must be completed by an authorized official of the proposing organization. NASA accepts submissions through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, but registration requirements apply: organizations must be registered in NSPIRES, and those submitting through Grants.gov must also be registered there, with authorized organizational representatives identified. Principal investigators and other named participants such as co-investigators must also be registered in NSPIRES. The announcement strongly encourages prospective applicants to complete registrations and system familiarization well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute submission problems.
Timing in this solicitation is structured around multiple program elements with different due dates rather than a single universal deadline. Notices of Intent (NOIs) are requested for most program elements, with an early NOI date of March 14, 2008 listed in the announcement. Proposal due dates begin on May 9, 2008 and extend through March 27, 2009 depending on the specific element. The particular Hurricane Science Research posting lists an Original and Current Closing Date of May 16, 2008, with an Archive Date of June 15, 2008, which indicates that the hurricane-related element had a specific submission window within the broader ROSES 2008 schedule.
Applicants are directed to find the relevant program elements in Grants.gov using the Advanced Search and entering the funding opportunity number NNH08ZDA001N, which returns a list of ROSES elements. Applicants then select the specific element they intend to apply to, download the associated application package, and follow the element-specific instructions and key information. For questions, the announcement points researchers to the individual Program Officers listed in each element's Summary of Key Information for technical or programmatic fit, while general solicitation policy and procedure questions are routed to Dr. Yvonne Pendleton (Senior Advisor for Research and Analysis, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters), with contact details provided (sara@nasa.gov; 202-358-1182).
In terms of award mechanisms, NASA indicates that selections can result in grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the proposing organization and the needs of the specific program element. The funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with activity aligned to science and technology and other research and development, and it states no cost sharing or matching requirement.
