Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2012 Astrophysics Data Analysis (ADAP) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader NASA Research Announcement NNH12ZDA001N, titled Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 (ROSES 2012). It supports research and technology activities tied to NASA Science Mission Directorate priorities, with ADAP specifically focused on astrophysics data analysis work that produces new scientific results from existing or soon-to-be-available astrophysics datasets. Like the rest of ROSES, it sits within a larger umbrella that spans Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, and it is intended to fund both basic and applied research, with an emphasis on strengthening the scientific return from NASA missions and archives.
The scope of ROSES 2012 is intentionally broad, and the announcement highlights many allowable activity types that can intersect with astrophysics data analysis efforts. These include theory, modeling, and analysis of science data; development of techniques and methods that enable future missions; concept development for future missions; and technology development relevant to NASA science objectives. The overall ROSES language also covers investigations using aircraft, balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets, as well as laboratory and analytical work involving extraterrestrial samples and related terrestrial analogs, plus efforts that improve fundamental atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret measurements. While not all of those areas are central to ADAP, they reflect the wider ROSES framework that ADAP is part of, and they signal that NASA is open to proposals that connect data analysis with enabling methods, validated models, and improved interpretation tools, as long as they align with the specific program element requirements in the ROSES appendices.
Funding levels vary widely across ROSES program elements. The solicitation notes that smaller, focused efforts such as data analysis projects can be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large-scale activities like development of science experiment hardware can exceed $1 million per year. The available funding for each program element ranges from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means NASA may select anywhere from just a few proposals to several dozen, depending on the goals and the quality of submissions. Award mechanisms can include grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, with the specific instrument depending on the proposing organization and program needs. The typical performance period is four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, with a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is open broadly to organizations of many types, including 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, the announcement emphasizes NASA policy for non-U.S. participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, and proposers are directed to the NASA NRA Guidebook (including Appendix B and relevant sections) for the detailed rules that apply when non-U.S. organizations participate or when proposals involve U.S. personnel requesting NASA support. In general, NASA funding is primarily provided to U.S. institutions, and proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES.
Key dates in the ROSES 2012 cycle start with the solicitation becoming available around February 14, 2012 through the NSPIRES site. Notices of Intent are requested for most program elements, with the first NOI due date listed as March 16, 2012. Proposal due dates begin May 4, 2012 and extend through March 22, 2013 across the various program elements; for this specific ADAP listing, the opportunity posting shows a due date of May 18, 2012, with the posting created and dated February 23, 2012, and an archive date of June 17, 2012. Applicants are expected to pay close attention to the tables and appendices in ROSES (Tables 2 and 3, plus the program-element appendices) because each element can have its own required content, due date, and selection priorities.
Submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized organizational official. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES or via Grants.gov, but registration in NSPIRES is required for any organization intending to apply. Organizations that submit through Grants.gov must be registered there as well, in addition to NSPIRES. The solicitation stresses that principal investigators and all other participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA strongly encourages organizations to register and familiarize themselves with the systems well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute administrative issues.
For ongoing updates, amendments, or clarifications, proposers are directed to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to the notification service, since ROSES can be updated through February 2013 before the next ROSES cycle is released. A dedicated amendment and corrections archive (with an RSS feed) is also provided through NASA’s research solicitation pages. Program-specific questions are handled through the program officers listed in each program element’s “Summary of Key Information” in the appendices, while general ROSES policy and procedure questions are directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (email sara@nasa.gov; telephone 202-358-0879).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - ROSES 2012 Astrophysics Data Analysis (ADAP)
1. What is ROSES 2012 Astrophysics Data Analysis (ADAP)?
ROSES 2012 Astrophysics Data Analysis (ADAP) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity offered under the broader NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH12ZDA001N, titled Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 (ROSES 2012). ADAP is specifically focused on astrophysics data analysis that produces new scientific results from existing or soon-to-be-available astrophysics datasets, in support of NASA Science Mission Directorate priorities.
2. How does ADAP fit within ROSES 2012?
ADAP is one program element within the larger ROSES 2012 umbrella announcement. ROSES spans multiple science areas, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. While ADAP is focused on astrophysics data analysis, it follows the overall ROSES structure, rules, and processes, and applicants must follow both the general ROSES instructions and the specific program-element requirements in the ROSES appendices.
3. What types of work does ADAP support?
ADAP supports astrophysics data analysis work intended to generate new scientific results using existing or soon-to-be-available astrophysics datasets. Within the broader ROSES framework, allowable activity types include theory, modeling, and analysis of science data, and development of techniques and methods that enable future missions, as long as the proposed work aligns with the specific ADAP program element requirements in the appendices.
4. Does ROSES allow activities beyond pure data analysis?
Yes. The ROSES 2012 announcement is intentionally broad and describes many allowable activity types across the full ROSES portfolio. These include theory and modeling, technique and method development, concept development for future missions, and technology development relevant to NASA science objectives. ROSES also references investigations using aircraft, balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets, as well as laboratory/analytical work involving extraterrestrial samples and terrestrial analogs, and improvements to fundamental parameters used to interpret measurements. For ADAP, proposals should remain aligned with the astrophysics data analysis focus and any ADAP-specific requirements.
5. What are the typical funding levels for awards under ROSES?
Funding levels vary widely across ROSES program elements. The solicitation notes that smaller, focused efforts such as data analysis projects can be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large-scale activities such as development of science experiment hardware can exceed $1 million per year.
