Opportunity Summary:
NASA Headquarters released the ROSES 2010 Instrument Incubator opportunity under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 solicitation, Funding Opportunity Number NNH10ZDA001N. The announcement was made available around February 12, 2010 through the NASA proposal portal NSPIRES, with the listing also mirrored through Grants.gov for electronic submission. As part of ROSES 2010, this opportunity sits within NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) research framework and is designed to fund a mix of basic and applied research and technology development that supports NASA science across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics.
The scope of work covered by ROSES 2010 is intentionally broad, and the Instrument Incubator falls within that larger ecosystem of competed program elements described in the ROSES appendices. In practical terms, NASA is seeking proposals that advance the science and the tools needed to do the science, including theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; suborbital and airborne investigations using aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, and commercial reusable suborbital platforms; development of experiment techniques and enabling methods suitable for future space missions; early-stage concepts for future SMD missions; and advanced technologies that reduce risk or increase capability for those missions. The solicitation also includes laboratory and analytical work tied to extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples used to validate or interpret Earth observations, plus measurements of atomic and compositional parameters needed to analyze space-based and returned-sample data. On the Earth science side, it also encourages field campaigns and surface observations that support missions, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied systems that translate Earth science data into societal benefits and decision support tools.
Funding levels vary substantially depending on what is proposed and which program element is being targeted. NASA notes that awards may be under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as data analysis, while large, complex activities such as developing science experiment hardware can exceed $1 million per year. The amount available for any given program element ranges from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which typically supports anywhere from a handful to several dozen selected proposals depending on program priorities and the quality and volume of submissions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity.
NASA indicates that awards may be issued using several different mechanisms depending on the applicant type and the needs of the program, including grants and cooperative agreements (and, where appropriate, contracts or inter- or intra-agency transfers). The typical period of performance is about four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer periods, up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is open in a broad sense: organizations of many types may apply, including domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and non-profit, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, the announcement highlights an important policy constraint for international participation: NASA generally funds only U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically on a no-exchange-of-funds basis. Special rules may apply in limited cases where NASA issues a joint NRA with a non-U.S. partner agency, and the ROSES NRA Guidebook sections referenced in the notice provide the detailed instructions for non-U.S. involvement, especially when U.S. personnel support is requested.
The timeline includes rolling due dates across the 2010 to 2011 period, reflecting that ROSES is a collection of many program elements with different deadlines. Notices of Intent (NOIs) were requested for most program elements beginning March 15, 2010, with NOI windows extending through February 9, 2011. Proposal due dates began April 30, 2010 and continued through April 30, 2011, with the specific due date determined by the targeted program element and listed in ROSES Tables 2 and 3 and in the appendices. The Grants.gov posting metadata lists an original and current closing date of July 21, 2010 for that particular listing, but NASA emphasizes that ROSES program elements have their own deadlines across the full ROSES cycle, so applicants were expected to rely on the ROSES tables and appendices for the authoritative due dates for each element.
All submissions had to be made electronically, either through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, and the proposal needed to be submitted by an authorized organizational official. Registration requirements are a key administrative detail: every applicant organization had to be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations choosing to submit via Grants.gov also had to register there in addition to NSPIRES. NASA also required all principal investigators and co-investigators to be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. The notice strongly encourages applicants to register and explore the submission systems well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute technical and administrative problems.
Finally, NASA indicates that ROSES 2010 could be amended over time, with additional elements, clarifications, or corrections released through at least February 2011, and it directs applicants to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to electronic notifications and the ROSES 2010 amendment archive/RSS feed. Program-specific questions were to be directed to the relevant program officers listed in each appendix, while general ROSES policy and procedure questions were routed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (Science Mission Directorate) via the SARA inbox and the phone number provided in the notice.
