Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2009 Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2009 (ROSES 2009) announcement, identified as NNH09ZDA001N. As part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate research portfolio, it supports both basic and applied research and related technology work that aligns with NASA program areas such as Earth Science (and, across the wider ROSES umbrella, also Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics). The scope is intentionally broad, covering work that helps NASA collect, interpret, and apply science observations and data, including ocean and Earth system topics tied to biology and biogeochemistry.
The solicitation emphasizes that proposals must be submitted electronically, and NASA strongly prefers submission through NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) due to technical issues that were occurring with Grants.gov at the time. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES or Grants.gov, but in either case, organizations still need to be registered in NSPIRES, and individual investigators (PIs and co-investigators) must also be registered there. Submissions must be made by an authorized organizational representative, and applicants are advised to start registration and system familiarization well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute access or formatting problems. Many program elements also request an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) before the full proposal; the first NOI due date listed for ROSES 2009 program elements was March 13, 2009.
In terms of the kinds of activities NASA is willing to fund, ROSES 2009 spans a wide range of research and technology development tasks relevant to space and Earth sciences. This includes theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; field and aircraft campaigns that support NASA missions; development of integrated Earth system models; and creation of tools and information systems that translate Earth science data into societal applications. It can also include investigations using aircraft, stratospheric balloons, or suborbital rockets; development of new experimental techniques and enabling technologies for future missions; mission concept development; and laboratory analysis of samples (including extraterrestrial returned samples as well as terrestrial samples that help validate or interpret NASA Earth observations). While Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry is a specific topical element within ROSES, it sits inside this larger framework of advancing observation, understanding, modeling, and application of Earth system science.
Award sizes and project scales can vary dramatically depending on what is proposed. NASA notes that funding can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused work such as data analysis, to more than $1,000,000 per year for large, complex efforts such as developing science instrument hardware. The amount available within each program element can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning the number of awards can vary from just a few selections to several dozen, depending on program priorities and the quality and quantity of submissions. Funding instruments may include grants and cooperative agreements (explicitly listed for this opportunity), and NASA also notes that, depending on the organization type and program needs, awards could also take the form of contracts or inter- and intra-agency transfers. The typical period of performance is about four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, up to a stated maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type: domestic and foreign organizations, government and private entities, for-profit and non-profit institutions are all allowed to submit, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA's funding policy generally limits direct funding to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate if they do so under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning NASA does not provide funds to the non-U.S. partner; additional rules apply if a non-U.S. proposal involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA funding is requested. The solicitation points proposers to the NASA NRA Guidebook (including Appendix B and other cited sections) for the specific compliance requirements governing these situations.
Key dates in the listing show the opportunity posted on April 15, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 1, 2009, and an archive date of July 1, 2009. Across ROSES 2009 as a whole, proposal due dates begin May 1, 2009 and extend through April 30, 2010 depending on the specific program element, so applicants are expected to follow the due date schedule associated with the particular element they are targeting. Cost sharing is not required. For questions, the announcement directs applicants to program officers listed within the ROSES documentation for element-specific guidance, and to NASA's designated contact for general NRA policies and procedures, with contact details provided in the notice.
