Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2008 Moon and Mars Analog Mission Activities (MMAMA) sits under NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2008 solicitation (ROSES 2008), funding opportunity number NNH08ZDA001N. In practical terms, this is one program element within a large NASA Research Announcement that invites proposals for both basic and applied research, plus technology development, across NASA Science Mission Directorate priorities. While the specific MMAMA element focuses on analog mission activities related to the Moon and Mars, it is administered within the same umbrella structure, rules, and electronic systems used for the many other ROSES 2008 program elements.
The overall ROSES 2008 solicitation is designed to support a wide range of space and Earth science work connected to NASA programs in Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. The scope is intentionally broad and includes activities such as theory, modeling, and analysis of science data; suborbital investigations using aircraft, balloons, or sounding rockets; development of new experiment techniques that could feed future missions; early concept work for future missions; and advanced technology development relevant to NASA science missions. It also covers laboratory and analytical work on returned extraterrestrial samples and terrestrial analog samples used to validate mission observations, determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret measurements, Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions, development of integrated Earth system models, and applied systems that translate Earth science data into societal uses.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the type of work proposed. Smaller, focused efforts such as limited data analysis may be funded at under 100,000 dollars per year, while large efforts such as building or advancing science hardware can exceed 1 million dollars per year. Budgets available within any given program element typically range from under one million to several million dollars, which means NASA may select anywhere from only a few to several dozen proposals per element depending on program goals and the quality and volume of submissions. Awards can be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or interagency or intra agency transfers, with the choice driven by the proposing organization type and the specific program requirements. The typical period of performance is four years, although some elements may specify a different duration.
Eligibility is broadly open across organization types, including universities, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA centers, JPL, and other government agencies, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, the funding policy is important: in general NASA funds U.S. institutions, and non U.S. organizations may participate only under a no exchange of funds basis unless special circumstances apply (for example, certain jointly issued opportunities). Non U.S. proposers are directed to consult the NASA NRA Guidebook, including the sections that address proposals involving U.S. personnel where NASA support is requested.
ROSES 2008 relies on electronic submission and standardized registration requirements. Organizations must be registered in NSPIRES (the NASA proposal system), and anyone submitting through Grants.gov must be registered there as well, including identification of authorized organizational representatives who can submit on the organization behalf. All principal investigators and other named participants (such as co investigators) must also be registered in NSPIRES. NASA strongly advises proposers to start registration and system familiarization early to avoid last minute submission problems.
Key dates for the ROSES 2008 umbrella solicitation start with Notices of Intent requested for most elements, with early NOIs due beginning March 14, 2008, and proposal due dates rolling from May 9, 2008 through March 27, 2009 depending on the specific element. For the MMAMA posting captured in the opportunity record, the posted and created date is December 19, 2008, with a closing date of February 20, 2009 and an archive date of March 22, 2009. There is no cost sharing requirement listed.
Applicants are directed to find individual ROSES program elements (including MMAMA) through NSPIRES or by searching Grants.gov using the funding opportunity number format tied to ROSES. Each element includes its own Summary of Key Information and program officer contacts for element specific questions. For general solicitation policy and procedural questions, the notice points to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (Science Mission Directorate) as the contact.
