Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Atmospheric Composition Modeling and Analysis (ACMAP) 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 is NASA's main yearly research announcement for competitively funding basic and applied research and technology that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate. While ACMAP is one program element within ROSES, the overall solicitation spans Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, and it explicitly supports work such as theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of experiment techniques and concepts for future missions; aircraft, balloon, suborbital rocket, and related investigations; laboratory work tied to sample analysis and key atomic/compositional parameters; field campaigns and surface observations; integrated Earth system modeling; and applied systems that translate Earth science research into societal benefits. In practical terms, ACMAP sits in the part of ROSES focused on atmospheric composition research, where the emphasis is typically on advancing modeling and analytical capabilities and using observations to better understand atmospheric constituents and processes, especially in ways that complement or leverage NASA data and missions.
The schedule for ROSES 2010 opens with a release date of February 12, 2010. NASA requested Notices of Intent (NOIs) for most program elements beginning March 15, 2010, and continuing through February 9, 2011, with proposal due dates beginning April 30, 2010 and running through April 30, 2011 depending on the specific appendix/program element. The listing information also shows posting and closing milestones associated with this ACMAP entry (Posted/Creation Date July 20, 2010; an original and current closing date of October 1, 2010; and an archive date of October 31, 2010), which reflects how the opportunity appeared in external grants portals even though ROSES itself operates on multiple appendix-specific due dates across the year. Applicants were expected to follow the due dates and instructions specified in the relevant ROSES appendix and the ROSES tables of due dates.
Funding under ROSES 2010 was described as ranging widely depending on scope, from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts like data analysis to more than $1,000,000 per year for larger, more complex activities such as hardware or major development efforts. NASA noted that the amount available varies by program element, from less than $1 million to several million dollars, allowing selection of anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals depending on merit, program priorities, and submission volume. Awards could be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter/intra-agency transfers, with the instrument choice depending on the proposing organization and the nature of the work. The typical performance period was four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer periods up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility was broadly open by organizational type: domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and non-profit, could submit without restrictions on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA emphasized a key policy point for international participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA typically does not send grant money to the non-U.S. partner, and the non-U.S. organization participates using its own funding. The eligibility notes also state that proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES and that, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions, with specific guidance for non-U.S. participation referenced in NASA's NRA Guidebook for Proposers (including rules for cases where non-U.S. proposals involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA funding is requested).
Submission was electronic and centered on NASA's NSPIRES system, with Grants.gov allowed as an alternative submission pathway for some applicants. Regardless of which system was used to transmit the proposal, organizations had to be registered in NSPIRES, and those submitting via Grants.gov also had to be registered there. NASA required that the submission be made by an authorized organizational representative, and that all key participants, including principal investigators and co-investigators, be individually registered in NSPIRES. NASA also advised applicants to start registrations and system familiarization well in advance of the deadline, since proposal submission depends on the correct organizational and individual accounts being in place.
Finally, the opportunity documentation directed applicants to the ROSES 2010 appendices for the detailed statement of work expectations, evaluation information, and program-specific points of contact (Program Officers). It also encouraged proposers to monitor NSPIRES for updates and amendments through February 2011 and referenced an archive/RSS feed for amendments and clarifications. General questions about ROSES policies and procedures were routed to the ROSES lead contact at NASA Headquarters (Dr. Max Bernstein) via the SARA (Science and Aeronautics Research and Analysis) email and listed phone contact, while program-element-specific questions were to be directed to the relevant appendix Program Officer.
