Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Cassini Data Analysis (CDAP) was a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 umbrella solicitation, NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH10ZDA001N. It was publicly posted in mid-February 2010 (with ROSES 2010 becoming available on or about February 12, 2010) and invited proposals that support NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) research, specifically including data analysis efforts tied to missions like Cassini. In practical terms, this opportunity sat inside a large, multi-appendix ROSES call that covers many science areas and program elements across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, with Cassini Data Analysis being one of the targeted elements focused on extracting new science results from existing mission datasets.
The solicitation emphasized that ROSES 2010 supported a wide range of basic and applied research and technology activities. These included (among other things) theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; development of techniques and technologies relevant to current and future NASA missions; laboratory work supporting interpretation of spacecraft observations and returned samples; field campaigns and Earth observations that complement NASA datasets; integrated Earth system modeling; and applied information systems that translate Earth science research into societal uses. While CDAP is specifically a data analysis program element, it was presented in the context of this broader ROSES framework, where funding levels and expectations could range from smaller, tightly scoped analyses to larger multi-year efforts depending on the program element.
Key dates were structured as a rolling window across the ROSES year. Notices of Intent (NOIs) to propose were requested for most elements, with NOIs due starting March 15, 2010 and continuing through February 9, 2011. Full proposals were due starting April 30, 2010 and continuing through April 30, 2011, reflecting that different ROSES appendices/program elements had different due dates within that overall interval. For the Grants.gov record associated with this listing, the “original” and “current” closing date is shown as April 30, 2010, with an archive date of May 30, 2010, but the ROSES 2010 announcement itself made clear that many program elements accepted submissions across the broader April 2010 to April 2011 schedule and that proposers needed to check the specific appendix and the ROSES tables listing due dates.
Funding instruments could include grants and cooperative agreements (and, depending on circumstances, contracts or inter/intra-agency transfers). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching. Typical periods of performance were described as about four years for ROSES awards, with some programs allowing shorter or longer durations up to a five-year maximum. Budget size varied widely by the nature of the work: awards could be under $100,000 per year for focused efforts such as data analysis, and could exceed $1 million per year for extensive activities such as building science hardware. The solicitation also noted that the amount available in each program element ranged from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning selections could span from just a few awards to several dozen, depending on program priorities and the quality and quantity of proposals received.
Eligibility was intentionally broad at the organizational level: domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and nonprofit groups could submit, and there were no stated restrictions on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA’s funding policy was highlighted: in general, NASA provides funding only to US institutions, and participation by non-US organizations is typically handled on a “no exchange of funds” basis. The announcement pointed proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including specific appendix and section references) for detailed rules affecting non-US organizations, especially in scenarios where a non-US proposal includes US personnel for whom NASA support is requested. In short, international participation was possible, but proposers had to structure budgets and roles carefully to align with NASA’s no-funds-exchange policy unless special joint solicitations applied.
Submission was electronic and required registrations and institutional approvals. Proposals had to be submitted by an authorized organizational official, not just by the principal investigator. NASA required registration in NSPIRES (the NASA proposal system) for any organization intending to submit, and those using Grants.gov also had to be registered there in addition to NSPIRES. All investigators and team members (PIs, co-Is, and other participants) were required to be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal was used. The announcement strongly encouraged early registration and familiarization with NSPIRES/Grants.gov to avoid last-minute access or administrative problems.
Applicants were directed to find the full program details in the ROSES 2010 appendices and to monitor NSPIRES for amendments, clarifications, corrections, and newly added program elements through February 2011, when the next ROSES release was anticipated. A separate web archive and RSS feed for ROSES 2010 amendments was also provided to help applicants stay current as requirements or deadlines changed. Program-specific questions were to be routed to the Program Officers identified within each appendix’s “Summary of Key Information,” while general ROSES policy and procedure questions were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (Science Mission Directorate) via the provided email and phone contact information.
In summary, ROSES 2010 Cassini Data Analysis was a discretionary NASA SMD research funding opportunity under NRA NNH10ZDA001N aimed at supporting scientific analysis of Cassini mission data within the much larger ROSES 2010 portfolio. It offered flexible award mechanisms, generally multi-year performance periods, widely varying funding levels depending on scope, broad applicant eligibility with specific constraints on NASA funding for non-US entities, and required electronic submission through NSPIRES (or Grants.gov with parallel NSPIRES registration), with key dates spanning spring 2010 through spring 2011 depending on the specific program element schedule.

Proposers were directed to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for detailed rules and scenarios, including cases involving non-US proposals that include US personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Does NASA provide funding directly to foreign institutions?
In general, NASA provides funding only to US institutions. The solicitation highlighted that non-US organizations are typically handled under a “no exchange of funds” approach unless special circumstances (such as certain joint solicitations) apply, as described in the NASA Guidebook for Proposers.
How were proposals submitted?
Submission was electronic and required proper registrations and institutional approvals. Proposals needed to be submitted by an authorized organizational official, not only by the principal investigator.
Was NSPIRES registration required?
Yes. NASA required registration in NSPIRES for any organization intending to submit. In addition, all investigators and team members (PIs, co-Is, and other participants) were required to be registered in NSPIRES regardless of whether the proposal was submitted via NSPIRES or Grants.gov.
If submitting through Grants.gov, was NSPIRES still required?
Yes. Organizations using Grants.gov also had to be registered there in addition to NSPIRES, and all investigators and team members still needed NSPIRES registration.
Who needed to submit the proposal on behalf of the organization?
The proposal had to be submitted by an authorized organizational official, rather than only by the PI.
What guidance was provided about registrations and timing?
