Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Climate and Biological Response Research and Applications (Funding Opportunity Number NNH10ZDA001N, sometimes tagged BIOCLIM) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 umbrella solicitation. The ROSES 2010 announcement was first made available on or about February 12, 2010 through NASA's NSPIRES site, and it invites proposals that support NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) priorities across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Within that larger structure, the Climate and Biological Response topic area focuses on research and applications that connect climate variability and change with biological and ecological responses, along with related tools, datasets, and decision-support capabilities that help translate Earth science knowledge into practical use.
The scope is intentionally broad and covers both basic research and applied work. NASA indicates interest in activities such as theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; development and use of integrated Earth system models; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA science missions; and the development of systems that apply Earth science research results to societal needs. The solicitation also allows for research that leverages airborne and suborbital platforms (aircraft, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets) as well as work that advances techniques or technologies that could feed into future missions. While some ROSES elements are more hardware-oriented, this particular opportunity sits inside a program that can support everything from focused data analysis efforts to larger, more complex projects, depending on the specific appendix/program element being proposed to.
Funding levels vary widely by program element and by the size of the proposed effort. NASA describes awards that can be under $100,000 per year for limited-scope projects like data analysis, and can exceed $1 million per year for extensive activities such as developing science experiment hardware. Across the various program elements included in ROSES 2010, NASA notes that available funds can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars per element, with the number of awards depending on program goals and the quality and quantity of proposals received. The typical performance period is four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, with a maximum of five years.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and supports science and technology and other research and development activities. NASA anticipates making awards using several possible mechanisms depending on the proposer and the nature of the work, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. Cost sharing is not required.
Eligibility is broadly defined in terms of the types of organizations that may submit: government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit, domestic and foreign, with no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA emphasizes an important policy constraint: in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically allowed only on a "no exchange of funds" basis. Non-U.S. participants are directed to consult the NASA NRA Guidebook provisions (including Appendix B and relevant sections addressing foreign participation, especially cases involving U.S. personnel who would need NASA support).
The submission process is electronic and requires early attention to registrations and authorized submitters. Notices of Intent (NOIs) are requested for most program elements, with NOI due dates running from March 15, 2010 through February 9, 2011. Full proposals are due on a rolling schedule tied to the specific program elements, beginning April 30, 2010 and continuing through April 30, 2011. Proposals must be submitted by an authorized organizational representative, and NASA accepts submissions through NSPIRES and, in some cases, Grants.gov. Any organization planning to submit must be registered in NSPIRES; if using Grants.gov, the organization must be registered there as well. All investigators and key participants (such as co-investigators) must also be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used, and NASA advises proposers to start these steps well before the due date to avoid administrative delays.
Program specifics, including what qualifies under Climate and Biological Response Research and Applications and how proposals will be evaluated within that element, are laid out in the ROSES 2010 appendices and the associated due-date tables. NASA also notes that ROSES solicitations can be amended over time, so applicants were encouraged to monitor NSPIRES for updates through February 2011, and to use NASA's amendment archive/RSS resources for clarifications and corrections. For general policy and procedure questions about ROSES, the listed contact is Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (SMD), with inquiries directed to sara@nasa.gov and the provided telephone number.
