Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Heliophysics Data Environment Enhancements (HDEE) 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 2010 umbrella announcement is a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) that supports a wide mix of basic and applied research and technology work tied to NASA's Science Mission Directorate programs, including Heliophysics (the domain that covers the Sun, the heliosphere, and their interactions with Earth and planetary environments). Within that larger ROSES framework, the HDEE element focuses on strengthening the heliophysics data environment by improving how data are curated, accessed, analyzed, and used by the science community, typically through information systems, tools, services, and related infrastructure that make heliophysics data more usable and more interoperable.
The ROSES 2010 solicitation as a whole invites proposals across theory, modeling, data analysis, and technology development. It explicitly covers activities such as analysis of SMD science data, development of experiment and mission concepts, advancement of technologies relevant to future missions, laboratory and sample analysis that supports mission observations, and development of applied information systems aligned with NASA science data and objectives. For HDEE specifically, the emphasis is on practical enhancements to the data ecosystem supporting heliophysics research, which can include improving data discovery and access, enabling better integration across missions and archives, building or extending community tools and services, and generally reducing barriers that keep researchers from efficiently turning NASA heliophysics data into scientific results.
Key timing for ROSES 2010 includes a release date of February 12, 2010, with Notices of Intent (NOIs) requested for most program elements beginning March 15, 2010 and continuing through February 9, 2011. Proposal due dates run from April 30, 2010 through April 30, 2011, reflecting that different ROSES appendices and program elements have their own specific due dates within that window. For this HDEE posting, the opportunity record lists a posted date of April 22, 2010, with an original closing date of July 16, 2010 and a current closing date shown as July 23, 2010 (and an archive date of August 15, 2010), indicating there may have been an amendment or extension for that particular element in the grants listing even while ROSES itself remained open for other program elements through 2011.
Funding instruments for selections under ROSES can include grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the proposing organization and the nature of the work. The opportunity lists grants and cooperative agreements as applicable instrument types for this element. Award size across ROSES varies widely: from under $100,000 per year for narrowly scoped work like focused data analysis, up to more than $1 million per year for large efforts such as development of major hardware or extensive activities. Typical periods of performance are about four years, with some program elements allowing shorter or longer durations up to a five-year maximum. The amount available in any single program element can range from under a million dollars to several million, which usually translates into anywhere from a handful to dozens of selectable proposals depending on quality, program priorities, and the volume of submissions.
Eligibility is broadly open to organizations of many types (government and private, for-profit and nonprofit, domestic and foreign), with important caveats. Proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES (NASA's proposal submission and management system). In general, NASA funding is provided to U.S. institutions; non-U.S. organizations may participate only under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy unless a particular program element has special international arrangements. The solicitation also notes that proposals involving non-U.S. organizations should follow the relevant sections of NASA's NRA Guidebook for proposers, especially where non-U.S. participation intersects with requests to support U.S. personnel.
Submission is electronic and requires advance registration. Organizations must be registered in NSPIRES, and those submitting through Grants.gov must also be registered there while still maintaining NSPIRES registration. Submissions must be made by an authorized organizational representative, and all principal investigators and co-investigators must have NSPIRES accounts regardless of which submission portal is used. The ROSES appendices contain the detailed requirements and program-specific instructions, including the program officer contacts for each element and the precise due dates shown in ROSES tables.
Administrative oversight and general policy questions for ROSES were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (Science Mission Directorate), with additional program-specific questions handled by the individual program officers listed in the relevant appendix. NASA also encouraged proposers to monitor the NSPIRES solicitation page and the ROSES amendment archive (including an RSS feed) for updates, clarifications, and corrections issued during the open period.
