Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2011 SERVIR Applied Sciences Team opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NNH11ZDA001N) was part of NASA's larger Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2011 solicitation, released on February 18, 2011 by NASA Headquarters under CFDA 43.001 (Science). It invited proposals for basic and applied research and technology development across NASA's Science Mission Directorate, spanning Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Within that broad umbrella, the SERVIR Applied Sciences Team focus sat in the applied Earth science space: using NASA and partner Earth observation data and related science results in ways that can be translated into practical decision support and societal benefit, consistent with NASA's applied sciences objectives.
The solicitation covered a wide range of work types, from fundamental theory and modeling to highly practical systems and tools. Examples of activities explicitly included were analysis of NASA science data; modeling and integrated Earth system modeling; aircraft, balloon, suborbital rocket, and related investigations; development of experimental techniques and advanced technologies for future missions; mission concept development; laboratory analysis techniques for returned extraterrestrial samples and terrestrial analog samples that validate Earth-observing missions; field campaigns and surface observations that support NASA missions; and, importantly for applied efforts like SERVIR, the development of systems that translate Earth science research data into usable products for societal needs and applied information systems that leverage NASA data. In other words, the call was designed to support everything from smaller, targeted analytical studies to larger, multi-year efforts building capabilities, tools, or hardware aligned with NASA science and applications.
Funding levels and award structures were intentionally flexible. Typical budgets ranged from under $100,000 per year for narrow, focused work such as data analysis, up to more than $1 million per year for large, extensive activities such as development of science experiment hardware. The total funds available varied by program element (each appendix topic area), generally ranging from less than one million dollars to several million dollars, allowing NASA to select anywhere from a few proposals to several dozen, depending on merit, program priorities, and submission volume. NASA anticipated making awards in multiple legal forms, including grants and cooperative agreements (and, where appropriate, contracts and inter- or intra-agency transfers), with the instrument choice depending on the proposing organization and the nature of the work. The typical period of performance was four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer periods up to a maximum of five years.
Key dates reflected ROSES being an umbrella solicitation with multiple program elements and rolling due dates. Notices of Intent (NOIs) to propose were requested for most elements, with NOIs due beginning March 18, 2011 and extending through February 8, 2012 depending on the specific element. Full proposals were due beginning April 29, 2011 through April 30, 2012, again depending on the element. For the Grants.gov posting associated with the SERVIR Applied Sciences Team listing, the opportunity was posted July 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of October 25, 2011, and an archive date of November 24, 2011.
Eligibility was broad in principle: organizations of every type could submit (government or private, for-profit or nonprofit, domestic or foreign) with no restriction on number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA's standard policy applied: NASA generally funds U.S. institutions, and non-U.S. organizations could participate only on a "no exchange of funds" basis unless a specific joint solicitation stated otherwise. Proposers needed to be affiliated with a registered institution in NSPIRES, NASA's proposal system, and all principal investigators and participants (including co-investigators) had to be registered in NSPIRES. Proposals had to be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, either through NSPIRES or via Grants.gov (with the additional requirement that Grants.gov submitters also register there). NASA strongly encouraged prospective applicants to register early and familiarize themselves with the submission systems well ahead of deadlines.
Administrative and guidance details were organized in the ROSES 2011 appendices (which describe the individual program elements and points of contact) and in the ROSES tables that listed element-by-element due dates. NASA also noted that amendments, clarifications, and corrections could be issued through February 2012 and advised applicants to monitor NSPIRES and the ROSES 2011 web archive/RSS feed for updates. For general policy and procedure questions, the listed point of contact was Dr. Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879), while technical questions about specific program elements were directed to the program officers named within the relevant appendix sections.
