Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2012 Heliophysics Research Solar and Heliospheric Science is part of NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 solicitation (ROSES 2012), issued as NASA Research Announcement NNH12ZDA001N. The opportunity, managed through NASA Headquarters and posted in early March 2012, invites proposals that support basic and applied research and technology development across NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD). While the specific program element referenced in the title falls under Heliophysics, the overall ROSES 2012 umbrella covers work that can align with Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, as long as the proposed effort fits within one or more of the program elements described in the ROSES appendices.
The solicitation is intentionally broad in scope and is meant to fund a wide range of activities that advance NASA science and future mission capability. Examples of supported work include theory, modeling, and analysis of existing SMD science data; development and use of suborbital and airborne platforms such as aircraft, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets; development of new experiment techniques suitable for future space missions; early mission concept development; and advancement of technologies that would be relevant to SMD missions. It also includes laboratory and analytical work tied to sample science, such as methods for analyzing extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples that help validate or interpret NASA Earth observations. Additional covered areas include determining atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret space and sample data, conducting Earth surface observations and field campaigns in support of SMD missions, developing integrated Earth system models, and building applied information systems that translate Earth science results into societal and decision-support benefits. For proposers interested specifically in solar and heliospheric science, the key point is that the program element sits within a larger framework designed to support both the science questions and the enabling tools, data analysis, and technology pathways that NASA needs.
Funding levels vary substantially depending on the nature and scale of the work. The announcement notes that awards can be under $100,000 per year for smaller, focused efforts such as targeted data analysis, and can exceed $1,000,000 per year for larger activities such as development of science experiment hardware. The total funding available within each program element ranges from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning NASA might fund only a handful of projects in some areas or several dozen in others, depending on objectives and the quality and quantity of proposals received. Awards may be issued using different legal instruments, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The mechanism used depends on the proposer type and the program requirements. The typical performance period is four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer periods up to a five-year maximum.
Eligibility is open in a broad sense to organizations of many types, including U.S. and non-U.S. entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and non-profit institutions, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals an organization may submit or on teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA emphasizes its general policy of funding U.S. institutions, with non-U.S. participation typically handled under a "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning international partners generally participate without NASA funding flowing to their institutions. The opportunity materials point proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers and specific sections governing proposals involving non-U.S. organizations, including special cases where a non-U.S. organization proposes work that involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
The submission process is fully electronic and runs through NASA's NSPIRES system, with Grants.gov also available as an alternative submission route. Every organization intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations submitting through Grants.gov must be registered in both systems. The registration must identify authorized organizational representative(s) who are permitted to submit proposals. In addition, all principal investigators and other named participants, such as co-investigators, must have NSPIRES registrations regardless of which system is used to transmit the final proposal. NASA advises prospective applicants to start registration and system familiarization early to avoid administrative problems close to deadlines.
Timing under ROSES 2012 is structured around multiple program elements, each with its own due dates, rather than a single one-size-fits-all deadline. Notices of Intent (NOIs) are requested for most program elements, with an early NOI due date of March 16, 2012. Proposal due dates begin May 4, 2012 and extend through March 22, 2013, reflecting the staggered schedule across the appendices. Applicants are directed to the ROSES tables listing due dates and to the appendices that describe each solicited program in detail, including program officer contacts and element-specific requirements. NASA also notes that amendments, clarifications, and corrections may be released through approximately February 2013, with a public archive and RSS feed maintained on NASA's science website, and encourages proposers to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to notifications for updates.
Administrative details in the source information identify the opportunity as a discretionary funding action in the science and technology and other research and development category, with CFDA number 43.001 (Science) and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted March 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date shown as March 16, 2012 in the listing, and an archive date of April 15, 2012. For general questions about ROSES policies and procedures, the announcement points to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (email sara@nasa.gov, phone 202-358-0879), while technical and program-specific questions are directed to the individual program officers listed within each program element's "Summary of Key Information" in the ROSES appendices.
