Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2011 Land Cover/Land Use Change for Early Career Scientists is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2011 solicitation, Funding Opportunity Number NNH11ZDA001N. The ROSES 2011 umbrella announcement was released on February 18, 2011, and it invited proposals across NASA Science Mission Directorate research areas, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Within that larger structure, the Land Cover/Land Use Change (LCLUC) topic area is one of the Earth science program elements described in the ROSES appendices and is aimed at advancing research that uses NASA-relevant Earth observations, modeling, and analysis to better understand land cover and land use dynamics and their implications. The posting for this specific LCLUC early career emphasis appeared later on Grants.gov (posted November 9, 2011), but it still sits within the ROSES 2011 framework and rules.
The core purpose of ROSES 2011 is to support a wide range of basic and applied research and technology development tied to NASA science goals. The solicitation explicitly spans activities such as theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of experiment and measurement techniques suitable for future missions; aircraft, balloon, suborbital, and related investigations; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions; development of integrated Earth system models; and efforts that translate Earth science data into applied products and information systems for societal benefit. For land cover and land use change research in particular, proposals would typically be expected to leverage remote sensing and other Earth system observations to characterize change over time, understand drivers and impacts, improve mapping and monitoring methods, and connect land change to broader Earth system processes and applications. The early career framing signals that the program element is designed to create a pathway for newer investigators to lead competitive, NASA-aligned land change studies within the ROSES structure.
Key dates under ROSES 2011 were set up as a rolling set of deadlines by program element. Notices of Intent (NOIs) to propose were requested for most elements, with NOIs due starting March 18, 2011 and continuing through February 8, 2012. Full proposals were due starting April 29, 2011 and continuing through April 30, 2012, again depending on the specific appendix element and its listed due date in the ROSES tables. The Grants.gov record for the LCLUC early career entry shows an original and current closing date of December 1, 2011, with an archive date of December 31, 2011, which reflects how that particular entry was tracked on Grants.gov even though the overarching ROSES solicitation spanned multiple due dates across the year.
Funding mechanisms under ROSES 2011 include grants and cooperative agreements (and in some cases contracts or inter/intra-agency transfers), with the selection mechanism depending on the proposing organization type and program needs. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under CFDA 43.001 (Science), with no cost sharing or matching requirement. NASA described a wide range of possible award sizes: from under $100,000 per year for narrowly scoped efforts such as data analysis, to more than $1 million per year for large, complex activities such as hardware or major technology development. The funds available vary by program element, ranging from less than $1 million to several million dollars total for a given element, allowing NASA to fund anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals depending on quality, relevance, and program priorities. Typical performance periods are about four years, with some exceptions and an overall maximum generally capped at five years unless a program element specifies otherwise.
Eligibility under ROSES is broad at the organizational level: domestic and foreign, government and private, for-profit and nonprofit entities may submit, and there is no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. That said, the practical funding policy is that NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate, but NASA’s default policy is “no exchange of funds†for work performed by non-U.S. entities, and foreign participation must follow the ROSES/NRA Guidebook rules (including special instructions when foreign proposals involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested). All proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES, and all principal investigators and co-investigators must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of whether submission occurs through NSPIRES or Grants.gov.
Submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized organizational representative. Proposals could be submitted through NSPIRES or Grants.gov, but in either case the organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and Grants.gov submitters must also be registered with Grants.gov. NASA strongly encouraged teams to start registration and system familiarization early to avoid last-minute access or authorization issues. Because ROSES is organized into appendices for each program element, applicants were expected to rely on the relevant appendix text (and the due-date tables) for element-specific requirements, evaluation criteria, and points of contact, and to monitor NSPIRES and the ROSES amendments archive for updates, clarifications, or changes released through February 2012.
For applicant support, ROSES 2011 directed general policy and procedure questions to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (Science Mission Directorate), with program-element-specific questions handled by the program officers listed in the appendices. In short, the LCLUC Early Career Scientists opportunity is best understood as a targeted on-ramp within ROSES 2011 for emerging investigators to lead NASA-relevant land cover and land use change research, using NASA Earth observations and related modeling and analysis approaches, and competed under the standard ROSES rules for eligibility, submission systems, award instruments, and multi-year research periods.
