Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2011 Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) Program opportunity was issued by NASA Headquarters under the broad Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2011 NASA Research Announcement (NRA), Funding Opportunity Number NNH11ZDA001N. The solicitation was released around February 18, 2011 and posted under NASA's NSPIRES system, with the CMS element operating as part of NASA's wider portfolio supporting Earth Science and other Space Mission Directorate research areas. In practical terms, this was not a single narrow call, but a program element within a large umbrella announcement that invited proposals across many topics and allowed CMS-related proposals to compete within the appropriate ROSES appendix and due-date window.
The purpose of ROSES 2011, including CMS, was to fund basic and applied research and technology that advances NASA science objectives and improves the use of NASA data and capabilities. The announcement emphasized a wide range of eligible work, such as theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of experiment techniques for future missions; concept development for new missions; advancement of technologies relevant to NASA missions; laboratory analysis of extraterrestrial and supporting terrestrial samples; determination of physical and atomic parameters needed to interpret observations; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions; development of integrated Earth system models; and building applied information systems that translate Earth science research into societal benefit. Within that broad scope, the CMS framing indicates a particular interest in carbon-related monitoring and information products, aligning carbon-cycle science with observation, modeling, and decision-support style outputs.
Key timing details were structured over a long window rather than a single deadline. Notices of Intent (NOIs) were requested for most program elements, with NOI due dates running from March 18, 2011 through February 8, 2012. Proposal due dates began April 29, 2011 and extended through April 30, 2012, reflecting the fact that different ROSES appendices and program elements had different deadlines. The record also shows an "original" and "current" closing date of April 20, 2012 for the specific listing, with an archive date of May 20, 2012, which fits the overall ROSES cycle and its amendments and rolling schedule.
Funding and award structure were designed to accommodate both small, focused studies and large, multi-year development efforts. Typical awards ranged from under $100,000 per year for limited-scope activities (like targeted data analysis) to more than $1 million per year for extensive efforts (such as development of science experiment hardware or similarly complex activities). The total funding available varied by program element, from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which meant NASA could select anywhere from a few to several dozen meritorious proposals depending on the program's objectives and the volume and quality of submissions. The usual period of performance was about four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer durations, up to a maximum of five years.
NASA indicated multiple possible award instruments depending on the project and the proposing organization, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The listing identifies the primary funding instrument types as grants and cooperative agreements, and classifies the activity as science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 43.001). Cost sharing or matching was not required.
Eligibility was broad in principle: organizations of every type could submit, including domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and nonprofit, with no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA's standard policy constraints applied. In general, NASA funding is provided only to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations could participate if they proposed on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA would not transfer funds to the foreign entity; additional requirements applied for certain cases involving U.S. personnel support. The announcement directed proposers to consult the NASA NRA Guidebook for specific rules governing non-U.S. participation and related special instructions.
Submission was electronic and tightly tied to NASA's registration systems. Proposals had to be submitted by an authorized organizational representative, and all proposing organizations were required to be registered in NSPIRES. Applicants choosing to submit via Grants.gov also needed Grants.gov registration in addition to NSPIRES. Principal Investigators and other participants such as Co-Investigators had to be individually registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. NASA advised organizations to start registration and system familiarization early, since missing registrations or authorization steps could jeopardize on-time submission.
Administrative guidance and updates were handled through NSPIRES and NASA's ROSES web archive, with amendments, clarifications, and corrections posted during the open period. Interested parties were encouraged to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to notifications for changes through February 2012, when NASA anticipated releasing the next ROSES NRA. For help, the solicitation pointed to Program Officers listed within the relevant appendix for topic-specific questions, and to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters for general ROSES policies and procedures (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879).
