ROSES 2010 Heliophysics Theory | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2010 Heliophysics Theory (funding opportunity number NNH10ZDA001N, listed as HTP) is a NASA Headquarters grant opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 NASA Research Announcement (NRA). The solicitation was made available around February 12, 2010 through NASA's NSPIRES portal, and it supports research and technology activities that align with NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) priorities. While this specific listing highlights Heliophysics Theory, it sits within the larger ROSES framework that also spans Earth Science, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics program elements, with detailed topics and requirements organized in appendices and tables inside the ROSES document.

The overall purpose of ROSES 2010 is to fund both basic and applied research, as well as supporting technology development, across a wide range of space and Earth science needs. The activities NASA describes as in-scope are broad and include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development and execution of investigations using aircraft, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets; creation of techniques and instruments relevant to future missions; early-stage mission concept work; development of advanced technologies that enable SMD missions; and laboratory work that supports the analysis of extraterrestrial samples or terrestrial analog samples used to validate mission observations. It also includes determining atomic and composition parameters needed for interpreting space data, conducting Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA Earth system missions, developing integrated Earth system models, and building applied information systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits. For Heliophysics Theory specifically, the emphasis implied by the title is on foundational theoretical and modeling work that advances understanding of heliophysical processes and improves interpretation of heliophysics observations, consistent with how ROSES categories typically frame "theory" elements.

The timeline described in the announcement includes a rolling window for Notices of Intent (NOIs) and proposals across the ROSES 2010 period. Electronically submitted NOIs were requested for most program elements beginning March 15, 2010 and continuing through February 9, 2011. Proposal submissions were scheduled starting April 30, 2010 and continuing through April 30, 2011, with exact due dates depending on the specific program element and listed in ROSES tables. For the Grants.gov posting metadata associated with this Heliophysics Theory listing, the posted date and creation date are April 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2010, and an archive date of July 29, 2010, which reflects how this particular opportunity instance was represented on Grants.gov even though ROSES as a whole spans many program elements and due dates.

Funding size and award structure are intentionally flexible to match the scope of proposed work. NASA notes that annual award amounts can range from under $100,000 per year for tightly focused efforts like data analysis to more than $1 million per year for large, resource-intensive activities such as developing science experiment hardware. The amount of funding available within each ROSES program element can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, enabling NASA to select anywhere from only a few proposals to several dozen, depending on program objectives and the quality and volume of submissions. Typical periods of performance are four years, though some elements may specify shorter or longer periods with a maximum of five years. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter- or intra-agency transfers, with the instrument choice depending on the proposing organization and NASA's program needs. Cost sharing is not required.

Eligibility is broad in principle but constrained by NASA funding policy in practice. Organizations of every type are allowed to submit proposals, including domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and there are no restrictions on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES, and NASA generally funds only U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning NASA typically does not transfer funds to the non-U.S. partner; the foreign organization supports its own participation. The solicitation also flags that certain situations involving non-U.S. organizations and U.S. personnel requesting NASA support have special instructions in NASA's NRA Guidebook for Proposers, and some NRAs may be jointly issued with non-U.S. organizations and include additional guidance.

Submission is electronic and requires advance registration. Proposals must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization, and submissions can be made through NSPIRES or Grants.gov. Any organization intending to propose must be registered in NSPIRES; if submitting through Grants.gov, the organization must be registered there as well. The registration process must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who can submit on behalf of the institution. All investigators and participants, including principal investigators and co-investigators, must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission route is used. NASA explicitly encourages applicants to begin registration and system familiarization early to avoid last-minute submission issues.

Administrative and contact details point proposers to ROSES appendices for program-element-specific requirements and to NASA's amendment channels for updates. Applicants are advised to monitor the NSPIRES solicitation page or subscribe to NASA's electronic notification system because ROSES can be amended with clarifications, corrections, and new program elements through February 2011, when a subsequent ROSES NRA was planned. An archive and RSS feed for amendments is provided on NASA's science research solicitations site. For general ROSES policy and procedural questions, the point of contact listed is Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters, Science Mission Directorate (email: sara@nasa.gov; phone: 202-358-0879), while program-element-specific questions are directed to the Program Officers named within the ROSES appendices.
