Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2011 Hurricane Science Research Program is part of NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2011 solicitation, issued under Funding Opportunity Number NNH11ZDA001N by NASA Headquarters. The opportunity was released around February 18, 2011, and it invited proposals for a wide range of research and technology efforts that support NASA's Science Mission Directorate. While this particular listing highlights the Hurricane Science Research Program (HSRP), it sits within the larger ROSES framework that spans Earth Science as well as Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, with program specifics laid out in the ROSES appendices and associated tables of due dates.
At its core, ROSES 2011 sought both basic and applied research, plus enabling technologies, across many elements of space and Earth science. The solicitation emphasized work such as theory development, numerical modeling, and analysis of NASA science data, along with investigations using aircraft, balloons, suborbital rockets, and related platforms. It also included development of new experimental techniques and instrumentation relevant to future missions, concept studies for potential missions, and advancement of technologies needed to support those missions. On the Earth Science side, the scope explicitly covered Earth surface observations, field campaigns, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied systems that translate Earth science data into societal benefits, which is where hurricane related research and applications naturally fit.
The timeline was structured with rolling or program specific due dates within a long open window. Notices of Intent (NOIs) were requested for most program elements, beginning March 18, 2011, and continuing through February 8, 2012. Full proposals were due beginning April 29, 2011, with submission windows extending through April 30, 2012, depending on the specific program element. The listing also reflects later posting and closing information associated with the HSRP entry (posted October 14, 2011, with a closing date of January 6, 2012, and an archive date of February 5, 2012), which indicates that applicants needed to pay close attention to the exact appendix and table entries governing the hurricane program's deadlines.
Funding levels and award structures were intentionally flexible to accommodate everything from small, targeted studies to large, complex developments. Typical budgets could range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly scoped efforts like data analysis, to more than $1 million per year for major activities such as development of science hardware or extensive investigations. The amount available varied by program element, generally ranging from less than $1 million to several million dollars, allowing NASA to select anywhere from a few proposals to several dozen depending on merit, program priorities, and available funds. Most awards were expected to run about four years, though some programs could be shorter or longer, up to a five year maximum.
ROSES 2011 allowed broad participation. In general, organizations of every type could apply, including universities, nonprofits, for profit entities, and government organizations, domestic or foreign, with no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, the eligibility guidance clarified NASA's standard funding policy: NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions, and non-U.S. organizations typically may participate only under a "no exchange of funds" policy. The announcement pointed non-U.S. proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for detailed rules, including special cases where proposals involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Submission was electronic and tightly tied to NASA's proposal systems. Proposals could be submitted through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or via Grants.gov, but registration in NSPIRES was mandatory for any organization intending to propose, and Grants.gov registration was an additional requirement if submitting through that portal. The organization had to identify authorized organizational representative(s) who would formally submit proposals, and all investigators and participants, including principal investigators and co-investigators, had to be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission route. NASA strongly encouraged early registration and early familiarization with the systems to avoid last-minute administrative issues.
Finally, ROSES 2011 was designed to be updated over time, so applicants were expected to monitor NSPIRES and NASA's ROSES amendment archive for new program elements, clarifications, and corrections through February 2012. The announcement directed proposers to consult the appendices for the details of each solicited program element and to use the listed program officers for element-specific questions. For general policies and procedures related to the ROSES NRA, the point of contact was Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (email sara@nasa.gov, phone 202-358-0879).
