ROSES 2009 Planetary Atmospheres | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2009 Planetary Atmospheres (Funding Opportunity Number NNH09ZDA001N, program element code PATM) is part of NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2009 (ROSES 2009) NASA Research Announcement. The solicitation supports basic and applied research and technology development across NASA Science Mission Directorate areas, including Planetary Science, and it specifically includes opportunities relevant to planetary atmospheres. The ROSES 2009 NRA was made available through the NSPIRES solicitation portal (nspires.nasaprs.com) under the Open Solicitations listing, and it is structured as a collection of program elements, each with its own scope, key information, and deadlines.

The opportunity is designed to fund work that advances NASA science goals through research, analysis, modeling, and technology efforts connected to space and Earth science missions and datasets. While the listing is titled for Planetary Atmospheres, it sits within an umbrella call that explicitly welcomes a wide range of activities: theory, numerical and analytical modeling, and analysis of Science Mission Directorate data; investigations using aircraft, balloons, and suborbital rockets; development of experimental methods and measurement techniques that could feed into future missions; early concept work for future missions; and development of advanced technologies relevant to NASA missions. The ROSES scope also includes laboratory analysis methods for extraterrestrial returned samples and supporting terrestrial analog samples, as well as work to determine atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based observations and sample analyses. In addition, it highlights field campaigns and surface observations that support NASA science missions, plus the development of integrated Earth system models and applied information systems that translate research data into societal benefit (even though that latter emphasis is more directly aligned with Earth science, it is included as part of the overall ROSES umbrella).

Funding levels and project scale are intentionally broad. Awards can be relatively small, under $100,000 per year, for narrowly focused tasks like targeted data analysis, or exceed $1,000,000 per year for large efforts such as development of science instrument or experiment hardware. The available funds per program element range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means the number of selections can vary widely, from only a few proposals to several dozen, depending on the element priorities and the quality and quantity of submissions. NASA notes that awards may be issued using different legal mechanisms depending on the proposer and the work being supported, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers.

The typical period of performance is four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer terms up to a five-year maximum. The solicitation is open to a wide range of organizations: government and private entities, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and domestic or foreign institutions, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, the eligibility language makes clear that NASA generally funds only U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is normally on a no-exchange-of-funds basis. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to consult the NASA NRA Guidebook (including Appendix B and specific sections cited in the notice) for detailed rules, especially in cases involving U.S. personnel for whom NASA funding is requested.

Key dates in the ROSES 2009 umbrella start with Notices of Intent, which are requested for most program elements; the first NOI due date cited is March 13, 2009. Proposal due dates begin May 1, 2009 and run through April 30, 2010 across the different program elements, but for this specific posting the recorded closing date is June 19, 2009 (with the opportunity later archived July 19, 2009). Submissions must be made electronically, either through NSPIRES or via Grants.gov, and they must be submitted by an authorized organizational representative. All proposing organizations must be registered in NSPIRES, and any applicant using Grants.gov must also complete Grants.gov registration in addition to NSPIRES. All principal investigators and other proposal participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway, and NASA strongly encourages organizations to start registration and system familiarization well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute access or compliance issues.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and supports science and technology and other R&D activities. It does not require cost sharing or matching. Questions about specific program elements are directed to the program officers listed in the ROSES Summary of Key Information for each element, while general solicitation policy and procedure questions are directed to the ROSES lead contact at NASA Headquarters (Dr. Max Bernstein), with contact details provided in the announcement.
