Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Astrophysics Theory (ATP) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 NASA Research Announcement, identified as NNH10ZDA001N. The announcement was released around February 12, 2010, and it solicits proposals that support NASA Science Mission Directorate research across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, with this specific listing highlighting the Astrophysics Theory component. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to fund theory-driven and related research that strengthens NASA science goals, including work that helps interpret mission data, advances predictive models, or develops the conceptual and technical foundations for future astrophysics investigations.
The ROSES 2010 umbrella call is intentionally broad and covers basic and applied research and technology. The types of work described include theory, modeling, and analysis of science data; development of concepts and techniques for future missions; and a range of supporting research activities tied to NASA SMD objectives. While ROSES also mentions platforms and activities such as aircraft, balloons, suborbital rockets, and technology development, the Astrophysics Theory emphasis is generally aligned with foundational theoretical understanding and modeling that can be connected to astrophysical observations and NASA mission priorities. The solicitation structure relies on detailed program descriptions in the ROSES appendices, where each program element explains its particular scientific scope, priorities, and any special instructions, along with the relevant NASA Program Officers.
Funding amounts vary widely depending on the scale and nature of the work. The announcement states that awards can be under $100,000 per year for narrowly scoped efforts such as focused data analysis, and can exceed $1 million per year for large, extensive activities (for example, efforts involving substantial development work). Available funding is described at the program-element level as ranging from less than one million to several million dollars, which means NASA might select anywhere from only a few proposals to several dozen, depending on the program’s goals and the quality and volume of submissions. The typical performance period is four years, with some programs allowing shorter or longer periods, up to a maximum of five years.
NASA indicates that awards may be issued through several different mechanisms depending on the proposing organization and the program’s needs, including grants and cooperative agreements (and in some cases contracts or inter- or intra-agency transfers). For this opportunity, the listed funding instrument types include grants and cooperative agreements, and the activity category is science and technology and other research and development. No cost sharing or matching is required.
The submission process is built around NASA’s electronic systems. Most program elements request an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) to propose, with NOIs due beginning March 15, 2010 and continuing through February 9, 2011, reflecting that different program elements may have different schedules within the ROSES cycle. Full proposals were due beginning April 30, 2010 and continuing through April 30, 2011, again depending on the specific program element’s due date. Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, and submissions can be made through NSPIRES (NASA’s proposal system) or through Grants.gov, with the important caveat that organizations submitting via Grants.gov must still be registered in NSPIRES as well.
Eligibility is broadly defined in terms of organizational type: government and private entities, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and domestic and foreign organizations may submit, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA notes its general policy that it primarily funds U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate under NASA’s “no exchange of funds†policy, meaning the non-U.S. side typically supports its own costs, and additional guidance for such cases is referenced in NASA’s NRA guidebook and, where applicable, in program-specific instructions (including special situations where non-U.S. proposals involve U.S. personnel requesting NASA support). All principal investigators and other participants must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of whether the proposal is submitted through NSPIRES or Grants.gov, and prospective applicants are encouraged to start registrations early to avoid missing deadlines.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted March 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date shown as June 4, 2010 for this listing and an archive date of July 4, 2010, even though the broader ROSES 2010 schedule spans into 2011 for various elements. Applicants were directed to monitor the NSPIRES solicitations page and NASA’s ROSES amendments archive (including an RSS feed) for updates, clarifications, and corrections through February 2011, when a subsequent ROSES solicitation was expected. For questions about general ROSES policies and procedures, the point of contact listed is Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (email: sara@nasa.gov; phone: 202-358-0879), while questions about the scientific and programmatic details of Astrophysics Theory and other elements are routed to the specific Program Officers named in the ROSES appendices.
