Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Astrophysics Data Analysis (ADAP) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 solicitation, Funding Opportunity Number NNH10ZDA001N. The ROSES umbrella announcement was made available around February 12, 2010 through the NSPIRES website, with the ADAP listing posted February 26, 2010. The overall purpose of ROSES 2010 is to fund competitively selected research and technology work that supports NASA Science Mission Directorate priorities across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Within that larger framework, the Astrophysics Data Analysis element emphasizes scientific return from existing NASA astrophysics data sets, typically by proposing analysis, interpretation, modeling, or related methodological work that extracts new results from archived or mission-produced observations.
The solicitation is broad in what it is willing to support as long as it advances NASA science objectives. Across ROSES 2010, NASA explicitly calls out theory, modeling, and analysis of science data; development of techniques and concepts that enable future missions; technology development relevant to NASA missions; and other supporting research activities. While some ROSES elements can include hardware or mission-enabling technology, the ADAP flavor is generally aligned with data analysis focused efforts, which the announcement notes can be on the lower end of the funding scale compared with larger, more extensive developments elsewhere in ROSES.
Key dates were structured as a rolling set of deadlines across program elements during the ROSES 2010 cycle. Notices of Intent (NOIs) were requested for most elements starting March 15, 2010 and continuing through February 9, 2011. Proposal due dates began April 30, 2010 and ran through April 30, 2011, with specific due dates and element-by-element requirements provided in the ROSES tables and appendices. For the ADAP opportunity record shown, the original and current closing date is listed as May 14, 2010, with an archive date of June 13, 2010, reflecting how that particular posting window was tracked in the grants listing even while the broader ROSES umbrella ran through 2011.
NASA anticipated a wide range of award sizes and selection counts depending on the specific program element. The announcement describes budgets that can range from under $100,000 per year for tightly scoped efforts such as data analysis, to more than $1 million per year for large activities such as development of science experiment hardware (more typical of other ROSES elements than ADAP). Funding available within a given program element could range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, enabling NASA to select anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals based on merit and program needs. Typical periods of performance were about four years, with some programs allowing shorter or longer durations up to a maximum of five years.
On the administrative side, NASA indicated it could make awards using several mechanisms, including grants and cooperative agreements (both explicitly listed for this opportunity), and in some cases contracts or interagency transfers, depending on the proposer type and the nature of the work. The funding activity category is classified as science and technology and other research and development, and the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching.
Eligibility was intentionally broad in terms of organizational types: domestic and foreign, government or private, for-profit or nonprofit organizations could submit, and there were no restrictions on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. That said, the practical funding rule is that NASA generally provides funding only to US institutions. Non-US organizations could participate under NASA policy on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, meaning they may collaborate but should not expect NASA to transfer funds to them, except in special cases described in NASA’s NRA Guidebook and in any jointly issued solicitations. The eligibility guidance also points proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for details, including special instructions for proposals from non-US organizations that involve US personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Submission was required electronically, and NASA emphasized the importance of registration and early system familiarization. Proposals could be submitted through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, but all proposing organizations had to be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations submitting via Grants.gov also needed active Grants.gov registration. Submissions had to be made by an authorized organizational representative identified in those systems. In addition, all principal investigators and other named participants (such as co-investigators) were required to be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway.
Applicants were directed to consult the ROSES 2010 appendices for the detailed description of each solicited program element (including ADAP’s specific scope, requirements, and evaluation considerations), and to use the posted tables for precise due dates. NASA also noted that amendments and new program elements could be released through February 2011, encouraged investigators to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to electronic notifications, and provided an online archive and RSS feed location for updates to the ROSES 2010 solicitation.
For questions, NASA pointed proposers to the program officers listed within each program element’s appendix for element-specific guidance, and to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters for general ROSES policy and procedure questions, using the sara@nasa.gov email and the listed telephone contact.
