Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction (Funding Opportunity Number NNH10ZDA001N) is part of NASA Headquarters' broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 solicitation. Released around February 12, 2010, this NASA Research Announcement invites proposals that support basic and applied research and technology tied to NASA's Science Mission Directorate priorities across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. While the opportunity title highlights modeling, analysis, and prediction, it sits within a larger umbrella designed to fund a wide range of research activities that help NASA interpret observations, improve scientific understanding, and develop capabilities that enable future missions and better use of NASA data.
The scope is intentionally broad and includes, among other things, theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of integrated Earth system models; and methods that improve prediction and understanding of Earth and space environments. It also covers work that supports data collection and validation through aircraft, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rocket investigations. In addition, NASA is looking for proposals that advance techniques and technologies relevant to future SMD missions, including new experiment approaches, mission concepts, and mission-enabling technologies. The solicitation also highlights laboratory and analytical work, such as techniques for analyzing extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples used to validate or interpret NASA Earth system observations, as well as determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based measurements and returned samples. Another emphasized area is applied Earth science, including systems that translate Earth science research results into societal benefits and applied information systems that make NASA data more usable for decision-making.
Funding levels and project sizes can vary widely depending on the specific program element within ROSES 2010. NASA notes that awards may range from under $100,000 per year for focused efforts like targeted data analysis, up to more than $1 million per year for large-scale efforts such as developing science experiment hardware. Within each program element, the total funding available can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means NASA may select anywhere from only a few proposals to several dozen, depending on program goals, proposal quality, and the mix of submissions. The typical period of performance is about four years, though some program elements may allow shorter or longer periods, up to a maximum of five years.
NASA may issue awards using different legal instruments depending on the proposing organization and the nature of the work, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type: government or private entities, for-profit or nonprofit organizations, and domestic or foreign institutions may submit proposals, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA generally funds U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically handled under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning international partners are expected to support their own costs unless specific joint-program rules apply. The solicitation points proposers to the NASA NRA Guidebook and relevant sections for detailed rules affecting foreign participation, including cases where a non-U.S. proposal involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
The timeline for submissions is structured across the yearlong ROSES window rather than a single deadline. Notices of Intent (NOIs) are requested for most program elements, with an NOI period running from March 15, 2010 through February 9, 2011, and the first NOI due date being March 15, 2010. Proposal due dates begin April 30, 2010 and continue through April 30, 2011, with specific due dates varying by program element and listed in ROSES Tables 2 and 3 and in the appendices. This means applicants need to identify the relevant appendix entry and match their topic to the correct program element and deadline rather than assuming a single closing date.
All submissions are electronic and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, but every organization that plans to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and those submitting via Grants.gov must also register there. NSPIRES registration must identify the organization's authorized organizational representative(s). Individual principal investigators and other participants such as co-investigators must also be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA strongly advises prospective applicants to begin registration and system familiarization well in advance of deadlines to avoid last-minute access or data-entry problems.
Program content details are contained in the ROSES 2010 appendices, and NASA notes that additional programs and amendments may be issued through February 2011. Applicants are encouraged to monitor the NSPIRES solicitation page or subscribe to NASA's electronic notifications, and NASA provides an amendments archive and RSS feed for clarifications and corrections. Questions about specific program elements are directed to the program officers listed in each appendix "Summary of Key Information," while general policy and procedure questions for the ROSES NRA are directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879).
The Grants.gov listing fields associated with this opportunity characterize it as a discretionary funding opportunity in science and technology and other research and development, with award instruments including grants and cooperative agreements, and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing also includes administrative dates (posted and created March 4, 2010) and an archived record, but applicants are expected to rely on the ROSES appendices and NSPIRES for the definitive program-by-program due dates and requirements, since ROSES operates as a collection of many related competitions under one umbrella solicitation.
