Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2012 Atmospheric Composition Modeling and Analysis (ACMAP) is part of NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 solicitation, Funding Opportunity Number NNH12ZDA001N. In practical terms, this is NASA Science Mission Directorate main annual call (ROSES) that invites research proposals across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, with ACMAP representing the atmospheric composition modeling and analysis portion within that larger umbrella. The solicitation is designed to fund both basic and applied research and, depending on the specific program element, can also support technology and capability development that feeds current and future NASA missions and datasets.
The opportunity supports a wide range of activities tied to NASA space and Earth science objectives, especially work involving theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data. The ROSES 2012 scope explicitly includes efforts such as interpreting and modeling observations, improving or applying integrated Earth system models, and developing methods and information systems that translate Earth science data into societal applications. It also spans mission enabling and mission support work, including studies for future mission concepts, development of advanced technologies relevant to NASA missions, and investigations using aircraft, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets. In addition, the umbrella solicitation covers laboratory and analytical work for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples used to validate or complement NASA Earth observations, along with determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed for analyzing space-based measurements. While ACMAP is specifically focused on atmospheric composition modeling and analysis, it sits within this larger portfolio of NASA-sponsored research and development pathways.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the nature and ambition of the proposed work. NASA notes that awards can be under $100,000 per year for narrowly scoped tasks such as focused data analysis, and can exceed $1 million per year for large, complex efforts such as developing science experiment hardware. The amount of funding available for any given ROSES program element can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning that the number of selections can range from only a few proposals to several dozen, depending on program priorities and the quality and quantity of submissions received.
Awards may be issued through several different mechanisms, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. Which instrument is used depends on the proposing organization and specific program requirements. The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may specify shorter or longer durations, with an overall maximum of five years in the general ROSES framework.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type: domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and non-profit groups may apply, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA also emphasizes a key policy constraint for non-U.S. participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, and NASA funding is, in general, provided only to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including the cited Appendix B and other referenced sections) for the detailed rules, especially in situations where a non-U.S. proposal includes U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
The ROSES 2012 solicitation was expected to be available around February 14, 2012 through the NSPIRES portal (the NASA proposal system) by navigating to Open Solicitations. The posted date and creation date for the ACMAP funding opportunity record are March 2, 2012. For this specific listing, the closing date is June 1, 2012 (with an archive date of July 1, 2012), while the broader ROSES program elements have varying due dates that begin in early May 2012 and extend into March 2013 depending on the appendix and element. For many elements, NASA requests an electronic Notice of Intent prior to proposal submission, with early NOI dates beginning in mid-March 2012.
Submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, but in either case the organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and Grants.gov users must be registered in both systems. NASA also requires that all principal investigators and other named participants (such as co-investigators) be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. Because account and organization registration can take time, NASA advises applicants to start early, learn the system structure, and complete the required organizational and personnel information well before the relevant due date.
The detailed requirements for ACMAP and other ROSES program elements are provided in the ROSES appendices, and official due dates are compiled in the ROSES tables referenced in the announcement. Applicants are also encouraged to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to updates because ROSES is routinely amended, clarified, or corrected during the open period, and NASA maintained an amendment archive (and RSS feed) for ROSES 2012. For questions, the announcement points applicants to the program officers listed within each program element appendix for technical and program-specific guidance, and to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters for general ROSES policy and procedural questions, using the provided sara@nasa.gov email and phone contact.
