ROSES 2008 Jupiter Data Analysis | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2008 Jupiter Data Analysis is a program element offered under NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2008 (ROSES 2008) solicitation, issued as NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH08ZDA001N by NASA Headquarters. The overarching purpose of ROSES 2008 is to fund competitively selected basic and applied research and technology that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Within that umbrella, the Jupiter Data Analysis focus is positioned as part of the solicitation's support for science data analysis and related research activities, with an emphasis on extracting new scientific results from existing mission datasets rather than building new flight hardware.

The solicitation is intentionally broad in the kinds of work it will support. It covers theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; investigations using aircraft, balloons, or suborbital rockets; development of experimental techniques and mission concepts for future SMD missions; advancement of technologies relevant to NASA missions; laboratory analysis techniques for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples used to validate Earth observations; determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space and sample data; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions; development of integrated Earth system models; and creation of applied information systems that use Earth science data for societal benefit. For applicants interested specifically in Jupiter data analysis, the key takeaway is that ROSES explicitly supports data analysis and modeling efforts, which are typically smaller in scope and budget than hardware development, but still expected to produce clear scientific outcomes.

Funding levels and award structures vary widely depending on the specific program element and the nature of the proposed work. NASA indicates that awards can range from under $100,000 per year for focused efforts like data analysis to more than $1 million per year for large, complex activities such as development of science experiment hardware. For each program element, the total funding pool can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means some elements may fund only a handful of projects while others may support dozens, depending on proposal quality, relevance, and program priorities. Most awards are expected to run about four years, although some elements may allow shorter or longer periods of performance.

Eligibility is broadly open and essentially unrestricted by organization type. NASA allows proposals from domestic and foreign entities, including universities, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and other government agencies, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. One important constraint applies to international participation: NASA policy specifies that collaborations involving non-U.S. organizations must generally be conducted with no exchange of funds, meaning NASA typically will not send award funds directly to foreign institutions even if they participate scientifically.

ROSES 2008 is run through electronic submission systems and has multiple deadlines depending on the program element. The NRA was expected to be available around February 15, 2008 through the NSPIRES portal (NASA's proposal system). Notices of Intent were requested for most elements, with the first due date listed as March 14, 2008. Proposal due dates begin May 9, 2008 and extend through March 27, 2009 across the many ROSES elements. For the specific Jupiter Data Analysis listing summarized in the source data, key dates include a posted date of March 10, 2008, and a closing date of May 15, 2008 (with an archive date of June 14, 2008), though applicants were expected to confirm the exact program-element schedule and instructions tied to the element they select.

Submission is required electronically, either through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, and must be transmitted by an authorized organizational representative. Registration requirements are emphasized: any organization planning to apply must be registered in NSPIRES, and those applying through Grants.gov must also be registered there. In addition, all principal investigators and other named participants (such as co-investigators) must have NSPIRES registrations. NASA strongly encourages prospective applicants to complete registrations and learn the submission systems well ahead of the deadline to avoid last-minute technical or authorization issues.

Applicants searching for the right ROSES element on Grants.gov were instructed to use the Advanced Search feature and enter the funding opportunity number NNH08ZDA001N to pull up the list of all associated posted program elements. From that list, applicants would select the specific element (such as Jupiter Data Analysis), download the corresponding application package, and follow the element-specific instructions and evaluation information provided in the "Summary of Key Information" for that element. Because ROSES is a large umbrella solicitation, the most practical guidance for applicants is that the core solicitation sets shared ground rules, but the program element documentation governs the exact scientific scope, deliverables, and review considerations for that topic area.

Finally, ROSES 2008 outlines where to direct questions. Scientific and program-element questions are meant for the specific Program Officers listed in each element's summary, while general solicitation policy and procedure questions could be directed to Dr. Yvonne Pendleton at NASA Headquarters (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-1182), who is identified as a senior advisor for research and analysis for the Science Mission Directorate.
