Opportunity Information: Apply for NNH12ZDA001N ATP

The ROSES 2012 Astrophysics Theory opportunity, formally known as NNH12ZDA001N, is slated for release around February 14, 2012. This NASA Research Announcement invites proposals for basic and applied research within various Earth and space science disciplines, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. It encompasses a wide array of research areas such as theory, modeling, data analysis, flight investigations using aircraft, balloons, and rockets, and the development of new experiment techniques.

Funding for proposals can range from under $100,000 per year for smaller projects to over $1 million annually for larger initiatives focused on equipment development and extensive research efforts. The typical award period spans four years, but some programs may vary between three and five years. Proposals can be submitted by a diverse range of organizations—both domestic and international, profit and non-profit—without limits on the number or arrangement of collaborations.

The proposal submission process begins on May 4, 2012, and extends to March 22, 2013, with Notices of Intent due as early as March 16, 2012. Submissions are electronic and must come from an authorized representative of the proposing organization via NASA's NSPIRES or Grants.gov platforms. Early registration in these systems is advised, and all participants must also register in NSPIRES. Proposed projects should align with program objectives outlined in the appendices of the announcement. Interested parties should keep an eye on the NASA website for updates or amendments to this opportunity until February 2013. For more specific inquiries, program officers are listed in the provided summary documents, while general questions can be directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters.
