ROSES 2008 Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2008 Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction is part of NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2008 (ROSES 2008) solicitation, issued under funding opportunity number NNH08ZDA001N. This is a NASA Research Announcement designed to fund a wide mix of basic and applied research and enabling technology work that supports NASA Science Mission Directorate priorities. In practice, the opportunity is meant to keep NASA science moving forward not only through new missions, but also through the modeling, analysis, interpretation, and technology development that make mission data scientifically useful and help define what future missions should do next.

The scope is intentionally broad and spans multiple NASA research programs, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. The work NASA is looking to fund can include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of integrated Earth system models; and prediction-focused activities that improve understanding of Earth and space environments. It also covers mission-supportive research such as aircraft, balloon, and suborbital rocket investigations; laboratory methods and measurement techniques that help interpret observations; and work involving samples, including laboratory analysis of extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples used to validate or better interpret NASA Earth observations. Beyond pure research, the announcement also allows for applied efforts like building systems that translate Earth science research results into societal-useful products and information systems tied to NASA objectives and datasets.

Funding levels depend heavily on the type of work proposed. Smaller, focused efforts like discrete data analysis projects may come in under 100,000 dollars per year, while large, extensive efforts such as development of science experiment hardware can exceed 1 million dollars per year. Budgets are managed at the level of individual program elements within ROSES, and each element may have anywhere from under a million to several million dollars available. That funding range means NASA may select only a handful of proposals in some elements or several dozen in others, depending on objectives and the strength and quantity of submissions.

NASA indicates multiple possible award mechanisms, reflecting the varied nature of performers and projects. Selections can be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or as inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the organization applying and the program requirements. A typical award period is about four years, though some program elements may specify shorter or longer periods of performance.

Eligibility is broadly open and essentially unrestricted with respect to organization type. Domestic and foreign entities can participate, including universities, industry, nonprofits, NASA centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and other government agencies. Teaming arrangements are not limited. One important constraint is NASA policy for non-US organizations: collaborations that involve non-US entities must be conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, meaning NASA generally will not transfer funds to non-US organizations even if they participate in the work.

The timeline described in the announcement spans multiple due dates because ROSES is organized into many separate program elements, each with its own submission schedule. Notices of Intent are requested for most elements, with the first NOI due date listed as March 14, 2008. Proposal due dates begin May 9, 2008 and extend through March 27, 2009, reflecting rolling deadlines across the various elements. For the specific Grants.gov posting summarized in the source data, the key dates include a posted and created date of March 27, 2008, and a closing date of May 23, 2008, with an archive date of June 23, 2008.

Submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized organizational official. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES (NASA’s proposal system) or through Grants.gov, depending on the program element. Registration requirements are emphasized: any organization planning to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and those using Grants.gov must be registered there as well. In addition, all principal investigators and other proposal participants such as co-investigators must have NSPIRES registrations. NASA strongly encourages applicants to start the registration and system familiarization process early, since delays in account setup can jeopardize on-time submission.

Applicants looking for the right sub-opportunity within ROSES are directed to search for individual program elements on Grants.gov using the Advanced Search feature and the ROSES solicitation number (NNH08ZDA001N) to pull up the list of posted elements. Each element has its own “Summary of Key Information,” including the responsible Program Officer, which is where proposers are expected to look for element-specific objectives, constraints, and requirements. For general policies and procedures questions, the announcement points to Dr. Yvonne Pendleton, Senior Advisor for Research and Analysis in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, with contact details provided (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-1182).
