Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2009 Astrophysics Data Analysis (ADP) is part of NASA Headquarters larger Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2009 solicitation (ROSES 2009), released under funding opportunity number NNH09ZDA001N. Through this NASA Research Announcement, NASA seeks proposals that support basic and applied research and technology development tied to the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), spanning Astrophysics as well as Earth Science, Heliophysics, and Planetary Science program areas. Within that broad umbrella, the Astrophysics Data Analysis focus is aimed at getting the most scientific return out of existing NASA astrophysics data sets by supporting rigorous analysis, interpretation, modeling, and related work that turns archived or mission data into publishable, high-impact science results.
The scope of ROSES 2009 is intentionally wide and includes theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of experiment techniques and concepts that could feed future missions; suborbital investigations using aircraft, balloons, and sounding rockets; advanced technology development relevant to SMD missions; laboratory and analytical work on extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples that help validate mission observations; and research that improves key atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based measurements. It also covers Earth-observation field campaigns, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied systems that translate Earth science data into societal benefits. While not all of these topics are specific to astrophysics data analysis, they define the overall ROSES framework and the kinds of supporting research NASA is willing to fund under this umbrella.
Award sizes and project scales can vary substantially depending on the specific program element and the ambition of the proposed work. NASA indicates awards may range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as straightforward data analysis projects, up to more than $1 million per year for large, complex activities such as the development of science hardware. Funding available within each program element generally ranges from under $1 million to several million dollars total, which typically results in selecting anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals depending on program priorities and the strength of the submitted applications. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter- and intra-agency transfers, with the mechanism depending on the proposing organization and the specific requirements of the activity. The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, with a stated maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in organizational type and includes domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and non-profit institutions, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA notes an important policy constraint for international participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, meaning NASA typically does not send funding to non-U.S. institutions. The posting also emphasizes that proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES, and that in general NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions, while pointing non-U.S. organizations to the NASA NRA Guidebook (including Appendix B and relevant sections) for specific rules and special cases, such as proposals that include U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Submission is electronic only. Proposals may be submitted through NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) or through Grants.gov, but NASA strongly encourages NSPIRES due to reported technical issues with Grants.gov. Any organization planning to apply must register in NSPIRES, and if using Grants.gov it must also be registered there. Registration must identify authorized organizational representatives who are permitted to submit proposals on behalf of the institution, and all principal investigators and co-investigators must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. NASA advises applicants to start system access and registration well ahead of deadlines to avoid administrative delays.
The schedule described for ROSES 2009 includes requested Notices of Intent for many program elements, with an early NOI due date of March 13, 2009, and proposal due dates beginning May 1, 2009 and running through April 30, 2010 depending on the specific element. For the entry summarized in the source data, the opportunity was posted February 27, 2009, with an original and current closing date listed as May 15, 2009, and an archive date of June 14, 2009. Because ROSES is organized into multiple appendices/program elements, applicants are expected to confirm the exact due date and instructions for the Astrophysics Data Analysis element they are targeting within the solicitation materials in NSPIRES.
For guidance and clarification, NASA directs proposers to the program officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element. General questions about ROSES policies and procedures are directed to Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research within NASA SMD at NASA Headquarters (contact information provided in the announcement, including an email address and phone number). The full solicitation text and program-element-specific details are accessed via the NASA Research Opportunities homepage in NSPIRES under Solicitations and then Open Solicitations.
