Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2009 Atmospheric Composition Mid Latitude Airborne Cirrus Properties Experiment (MACPEX), Funding Opportunity Number NNH09ZDA001N, is part of NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2009 (ROSES 2009) NASA Research Announcement. The solicitation is designed to support a wide range of basic and applied research and technology work across NASA Science Mission Directorate program areas, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Within that umbrella, the MACPEX topic focuses on atmospheric composition and the properties of mid latitude airborne cirrus, aligning with NASA interests in improving observations, understanding, and modeling of the Earth system through targeted research and field or aircraft related investigations.
The opportunity invites proposals that can span many kinds of space and Earth science supporting activities. Examples described in the announcement include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; airborne, balloon, and suborbital investigations; development of experimental techniques suitable for future missions; mission concept development; advancement of technologies relevant to future NASA missions; laboratory analysis methods for extraterrestrial and supporting terrestrial samples; determination of key atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space based data; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions; integrated Earth system model development; and applied research systems that translate Earth science data into societal benefit. Awards can therefore range from relatively small, focused efforts such as data analysis to large, complex projects such as instrument or experiment hardware development.
Funding levels and award structures are flexible and depend on the specific program element and the nature of the proposing organization. Typical budgets range from under $100,000 per year for limited scope studies to more than $1 million per year for extensive efforts, with each program element having a total pool that may run from less than one million to several million dollars. NASA indicates it may select anywhere from a few proposals to several dozen per element based on merit and program objectives. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter and intra agency transfers. The usual period of performance is about four years, although some elements may allow shorter or longer periods up to a maximum of five years.
Submission is electronic only, and NASA strongly encourages use of its NSPIRES system (NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) due to technical issues historically associated with Grants.gov. Proposers may submit through NSPIRES or Grants.gov, but regardless of the route, organizations must be registered in NSPIRES, and Grants.gov submitters must also be registered with Grants.gov. An authorized organizational representative must submit the proposal, and all principal investigators and any co investigators or other participants must be registered in NSPIRES. The solicitation emphasizes starting registration and system familiarization well ahead of deadlines to avoid last minute access and submission problems.
Key dates for ROSES 2009 span much of 2009 and 2010, with program element proposal due dates beginning May 1, 2009 and continuing through April 30, 2010. For many elements, NASA requests an electronic Notice of Intent, with early NOI due dates starting March 13, 2009. For the MACPEX listing as posted on Grants.gov, the posted date is March 27, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 15, 2009, and an archive date of July 15, 2009.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign, government and private, for profit and not for profit, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, the announcement notes that NASA funding is generally provided only to US institutions, and non US participation is typically handled under a no exchange of funds policy. Non US organizations considering participation are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for detailed rules, including special instructions when non US proposals involve US personnel for whom NASA support is requested. No cost sharing or matching is required for this opportunity.
For help interpreting specific program elements, proposers are directed to the program officers listed in the ROSES summary information for each element. General policy and procedural questions are routed to the ROSES research lead at NASA Headquarters (contact information is provided in the announcement). The full solicitation text is accessed through the NASA Research Opportunities homepage via NSPIRES, under Solicitations and then Open Solicitations.
