Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2012 Earth Science U.S. Participating Investigator (Funding Opportunity Number NNH12ZDA001N) is part of NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 solicitation, commonly known as ROSES 2012. It was released through NASA's NSPIRES system around February 14, 2012, and serves as an umbrella NASA Research Announcement inviting proposals for research and technology work that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate. While this particular listing highlights the Earth Science U.S. Participating Investigator angle, the ROSES 2012 announcement spans multiple NASA research programs, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, with specific opportunities organized in appendices and tables that spell out what each program element is looking for and when it is due.
The scope is intentionally broad and is meant to cover both basic and applied research, as well as technology development, tied to NASA science objectives and missions. Examples of activities NASA indicates it may fund include theory, modeling, and analysis using NASA science data; research using aircraft, balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rocket platforms; development of experimental techniques and instrument concepts for potential future missions; maturation of advanced technologies relevant to NASA missions; laboratory analysis methods for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and related terrestrial samples used to validate Earth observations; determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret spaceflight data and samples; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA Earth system science missions; integrated Earth system model development; and systems that translate Earth science research results and datasets into practical, societal applications and applied information systems aligned with NASA objectives.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the type and scale of the proposed work. NASA describes awards that can be under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as data analysis, and can exceed $1 million per year for large, complex activities such as developing science experiment hardware. The amount available is not uniform across the solicitation; each program element has its own funding pool that can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which in turn affects how many proposals can be selected. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or interagency or intra-agency transfers, depending on who is applying and what the work requires. The typical performance period is about four years, though some program elements may specify shorter durations or extend up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is open in a broad sense to organizations of many types, including government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and both domestic and foreign institutions, with no stated limit on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, the practical funding policy is important: NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically handled under a "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning international partners may participate but NASA funds are not exchanged to support the non-U.S. organization. The announcement directs non-U.S. proposers to specific sections of the NASA NRA Guidebook for detailed rules, including cases where non-U.S. organizations propose collaborations that include U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
The submission process is fully electronic and routed through NSPIRES and, in some cases, Grants.gov. NASA requests Notices of Intent for most program elements, with early NOI due dates beginning March 16, 2012, and proposal due dates beginning May 4, 2012, continuing through March 22, 2013 depending on the specific program element. For the Grants.gov posting associated with this opportunity, the posted date and creation date are May 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2012, and an archive date of August 1, 2012. Proposals must be submitted by an authorized organizational representative, and all principal investigators and other participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of whether the proposal is transmitted through NSPIRES or Grants.gov. NASA emphasizes registering early and becoming familiar with the system to avoid last-minute issues.
Finally, ROSES 2012 is designed to evolve through amendments and added program elements during the open period. Applicants are encouraged to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to its notification system for updates through about February 2013, when the next ROSES solicitation was expected. Specific program details, points of contact, and due dates are contained in the ROSES appendices and due-date tables, while general policy questions were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters via sara@nasa.gov and the listed phone number (202-358-0879).
FAQs: ROSES 2012 Earth Science U.S. Participating Investigator (NNH12ZDA001N)
What is this funding opportunity?
ROSES 2012 Earth Science U.S. Participating Investigator (Funding Opportunity Number NNH12ZDA001N) is part of NASA's larger Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 solicitation (ROSES 2012). ROSES 2012 is an umbrella NASA Research Announcement released through NASA's NSPIRES system around February 14, 2012, inviting proposals for research and technology work that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
Is this a standalone program or part of a broader solicitation?
It is part of the broader ROSES 2012 solicitation. While this listing highlights an Earth Science U.S. Participating Investigator angle, ROSES 2012 spans multiple NASA research programs, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics.
Where are the specific topics and requirements defined?
Specific opportunities are organized in ROSES appendices and in due-date tables. These sections spell out what each program element is looking for and when it is due. General information is in the overall ROSES 2012 announcement, while the detailed expectations and schedules are in the appendices/tables.
What types of work does ROSES 2012 fund?
The scope is intentionally broad and includes both basic and applied research, plus technology development tied to NASA science objectives and missions. Examples NASA indicates it may fund include:
