Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2010 Planetary Mission Data Analysis (PMDAP) is part of NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 solicitation, issued as NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH10ZDA001N. The opportunity was released on February 12, 2010 and made available through NASA's NSPIRES system. While PMDAP is a specific program element under ROSES, the umbrella announcement supports a wide sweep of research and technology activities that advance NASA Science Mission Directorate goals across Planetary Science (including mission data analysis), Earth Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics.
The solicitation is designed to fund basic and applied research that makes use of existing and emerging NASA data sets and mission-related resources. Activities mentioned in the ROSES description include theory, modeling, and analysis of science data; laboratory and sample analysis tied to spacecraft-returned samples or Earth analog samples; development of techniques and instrumentation concepts suitable for future missions; investigations using aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, or commercial suborbital platforms; development of advanced technologies relevant to future science missions; and work that supports Earth system science such as field campaigns, integrated modeling, and applied information systems. In the PMDAP context, the emphasis is typically on extracting new science from planetary mission data through reprocessing, interpretation, cross-mission synthesis, improved calibration/validation approaches, and other analytical methods that increase the scientific return of NASA's planetary missions.
Key dates are structured around a long open window with multiple program elements and rolling due dates. Notices of Intent (NOIs) to propose were requested for most elements, starting March 15, 2010, and continuing through February 9, 2011. Proposal submissions began April 30, 2010 and continued through April 30, 2011, with exact due dates depending on the specific appendix/program element. Separate posting metadata in the source notes shows an entry posted August 23, 2010 with an October 15, 2010 closing date for that particular listing instance, but the main ROSES 2010 framework itself ran across the broader April 2010 to April 2011 cycle, with amendments possible through February 2011.
Funding levels and award structures vary widely depending on the scope of the proposed work. The announcement notes that awards can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as data analysis to more than $1,000,000 per year for large, extensive activities such as major hardware development. Each program element has its own budget range (from less than $1 million to several million dollars), which translates into a selection portfolio that might include only a handful of awards or several dozen, depending on priorities and proposal quality. The typical period of performance is four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer periods up to a maximum of five years.
Awards could be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter/intra-agency transfers depending on the nature of the organization and the program requirements. Cost sharing was not required. The funding instrument types called out for this opportunity include grants and cooperative agreements, and the activity category is science and technology research and development.
Eligibility is broad in organizational type, allowing domestic and foreign entities, government and private, for-profit and non-profit, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA generally funds US institutions, and participation by non-US organizations is governed by NASA's policy of no exchange of funds (meaning foreign participation is typically supported by their own resources rather than NASA dollars). Non-US proposers are directed to the NRA Guidebook for specific requirements, including special cases where non-US proposals involve US personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Submission is entirely electronic and requires registration. All proposing organizations must be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations submitting through Grants.gov must be registered there as well while still maintaining NSPIRES registration. An authorized organizational representative must submit the proposal, and all investigators and co-investigators must have NSPIRES accounts regardless of whether NSPIRES or Grants.gov is used for submission. NASA strongly encourages prospective teams to register and familiarize themselves with the systems well ahead of deadlines.
Program details, including the specific goals and requirements for PMDAP and other elements, are contained in the ROSES appendices, with proposal due dates organized in tables within the solicitation. NASA also highlighted that ROSES is frequently amended, so applicants were expected to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to notifications, and consult the online archive/RSS feed for amendments, clarifications, and corrections. For questions, proposers were directed either to the program officers listed for each program element in the appendices or to the ROSES lead contact at NASA Headquarters (Dr. Max Bernstein) for general policy and procedural issues.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - ROSES 2010 Planetary Mission Data Analysis (PMDAP)
What is ROSES 2010 Planetary Mission Data Analysis (PMDAP)?
Planetary Mission Data Analysis (PMDAP) is a program element within NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2010 solicitation.

Examples include reprocessing and improved calibration/validation, interpretation of existing datasets, and cross-mission synthesis that produces new scientific understanding.
What are the key dates for Notices of Intent (NOIs)?
Notices of Intent (NOIs) to propose were requested for most ROSES 2010 elements. NOI dates began March 15, 2010 and continued through February 9, 2011, with timing depending on the specific program element.
What are the key dates for proposal submissions?
Proposal submissions began April 30, 2010 and continued through April 30, 2011. Exact due dates vary by appendix/program element and are organized in tables within the solicitation.
Why do some listings show different closing dates (for example, October 15, 2010)?
Separate posting metadata notes an instance posted on August 23, 2010 with an October 15, 2010 closing date for that particular listing instance. However, the main ROSES 2010 framework ran across a broader April 2010 to April 2011 cycle, with amendments possible through February 2011.

How long is the typical period of performance?
The typical period of performance is four years. Some elements allow shorter or longer periods, up to a maximum of five years.
How much funding is available per award?
Award sizes vary widely depending on the scope of work. The announcement notes that awards can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts (such as data analysis) to more than $1,000,000 per year for large, extensive activities (such as major hardware development).
How large are the budgets for individual program elements?
Each ROSES 2010 program element has its own budget range, described as ranging from less than $1 million to several million dollars. This affects how many awards may be selected (from only a handful to several dozen), depending on priorities and proposal quality.
What types of funding instruments may NASA use for awards?
Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter/intra-agency transfers, depending on the organization type and program requirements. For this opportunity, the funding instrument types called out include grants and cooperative agreements.

Can non-U.S. organizations participate?
Yes, eligibility includes foreign entities, but non-U.S. participation is governed by NASA's policy of no exchange of funds. This generally means foreign participation is typically supported by the non-U.S. organization’s own resources rather than NASA funding.
Where can non-U.S. proposers find additional requirements?
Non-U.S. proposers are directed to the NRA Guidebook for specific requirements, including special cases where non-U.S. proposals involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.

Does NASA provide any guidance about registering close to the deadline?
NASA strongly encourages teams to register and become familiar with NSPIRES and (if applicable) Grants.gov well ahead of deadlines.
Where are the detailed requirements and goals for PMDAP found?
Program details, including specific goals and requirements for PMDAP and other ROSES elements, are contained in the ROSES appendices. Proposal due dates are organized in tables within the solicitation.
Can the solicitation change after release?
