Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2009 Near Earth Object Observations (funding opportunity number NNH09ZDA001N, sometimes shown with the NEOO tag) is part of NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2009 (ROSES 2009) solicitation released by NASA Headquarters under the Science Mission Directorate. It is a discretionary research and development funding opportunity intended to support basic and applied science and technology efforts that align with NASA programs in Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Within that larger ROSES umbrella, the Near Earth Object Observations focus sits in the overall goal of advancing NASA-relevant science and capabilities through observations, analysis, modeling, and technology work that contribute to the agency's space and Earth science objectives.
The solicitation emphasizes a wide scope of allowable work, reflecting the fact that ROSES covers many program elements. Proposed efforts can include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of new methods and techniques for future missions; work using aircraft, balloons, or sounding rockets; early mission concept development; and maturing advanced technologies that would be relevant to future NASA missions. It also allows laboratory analysis of extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and related terrestrial samples used to validate observations, as well as determination of atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based data and samples. On the Earth science side, it also highlights field campaigns, Earth surface observations, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied systems that translate research data into societal benefit, indicating that ROSES is designed as a comprehensive pipeline from foundational research through applied tools and mission-enabling technology.
Funding levels are described as highly variable depending on the scale and purpose of the proposed work. Smaller, narrowly focused activities such as data analysis can be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large, complex efforts such as development of science experiment hardware can exceed $1,000,000 per year. The amount of funding available is managed at the program-element level, with some elements having less than $1 million available and others having several million, which in practice means NASA might select only a handful of proposals in some areas or several dozen in others depending on priorities, proposal quality, and available funds. The funding instruments can include grants and cooperative agreements, and in some cases contracts or inter- or intra-agency transfers, with the mechanism chosen based on the nature of the proposing organization and the specific program requirements. The typical performance period is four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, with a stated maximum of five years.
Submission is strictly electronic. NASA allows proposals through NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) or through Grants.gov, but the announcement strongly encourages use of NSPIRES because of technical issues historically associated with Grants.gov submissions. ROSES 2009 was expected to be accessible via the NASA Research Opportunities homepage in NSPIRES, using the navigation path through Solicitations to Open Solicitations. The solicitation also notes that many program elements request a Notice of Intent (NOI) to propose, with early NOI dates beginning March 13, 2009, while proposal due dates span a long window starting May 1, 2009 and continuing through April 30, 2010 depending on the specific program element. For this listed opportunity record, the posting indicates a closing date of June 12, 2009 (with the same date shown as the original and current closing date), and an archive date of July 12, 2009.
Eligibility is broad in organizational type but comes with important practical constraints. Organizations of all types may submit, including government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit, and both domestic and foreign organizations, with no stated restriction on number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES, and NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate under NASA's policy of no exchange of funds, meaning they typically must support their participation without receiving NASA money. The announcement points proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including Appendix B and other cited sections) for specific rules covering international participation, including cases where non-U.S. proposals involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA funding is requested.
Administrative requirements focus heavily on registration and authorized submission. Any organization intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and if it plans to submit via Grants.gov it must also be registered there in addition to NSPIRES. Registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who can submit the proposal on the organization’s behalf, and all principal investigators and other participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA encourages prospective applicants to access the submission systems well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute registration or technical problems and to become familiar with required data fields and proposal structure.
For help and clarifications, the solicitation directs program-element-specific questions to the program officers listed in the ROSES Summary of Key Information for each element, while general policy and procedural questions can be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (Science Mission Directorate). The opportunity listing also notes that the funding instrument types include grants and cooperative agreements, that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and that it is categorized under science and technology and other research and development activities (with CFDA shown as 00.000, not elsewhere classified).
