Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2012 Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction (Funding Opportunity Number NNH12ZDA001N) is a NASA Headquarters grant opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 (ROSES 2012) NASA Research Announcement. The solicitation is designed to fund basic and applied research and related technology development that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate across four major science areas: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. While the specific program element here is labeled "Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction (MAP)," it sits inside a much larger ROSES umbrella that offers many competed program elements, each with its own scope, requirements, and deadlines listed in the ROSES appendices and tables.
The core purpose of ROSES 2012 is to solicit proposals that advance scientific understanding and mission success through activities such as theory development, modeling and simulation, and analysis of NASA science data. The scope is intentionally broad and can include work tied to data from aircraft campaigns, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rocket flights, as well as traditional space mission data sets. Beyond pure analysis and modeling, the announcement also welcomes proposals aimed at developing new experiment techniques for future missions, creating concepts for future space missions, and maturing advanced technologies relevant to NASA science missions. It also explicitly includes laboratory and analytical methods for studying extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples that help validate or interpret Earth observation measurements, along with determination of key atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based observations and sample data. For Earth science in particular, the call highlights integrated Earth system modeling and the creation of systems that translate Earth science research data into societal applications, including applied information systems that make NASA data more usable for decision-making and public benefit.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the type and scale of work proposed. The announcement notes that awards can be under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as targeted data analysis, while larger, more complex efforts such as science instrument or hardware development can exceed $1,000,000 per year. Funding availability is managed at the program-element level, with each element having its own budget that may range from under $1 million to several million dollars, supporting anywhere from only a few selections to several dozen, depending on objectives and the quality and quantity of submitted proposals.
NASA indicates multiple possible award mechanisms, chosen based on the nature of the work and the proposing organization. These include grants and cooperative agreements (the listed funding instruments for this opportunity), and may also include contracts or inter- and intra-agency transfers for certain cases. The typical period of performance is four years, though some program elements may specify shorter or longer periods, up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and non-profit institutions may submit, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. That said, the practical funding policy is important: in general, NASA funds U.S. institutions, and non-U.S. organizations may participate only under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy unless a particular program element includes specific international arrangements. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers and relevant sections for special cases, especially situations where U.S. personnel support is requested as part of a proposal involving a non-U.S. organization.
The solicitation emphasizes electronic submission and advance registration. Proposals must be submitted electronically either through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or via Grants.gov, but in all cases the proposing organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and all principal investigators and co-investigators must also be registered there. If submitting through Grants.gov, the organization must additionally be registered with Grants.gov. NASA strongly encourages teams to start registration and system familiarization early, since submissions must be made by an authorized organizational representative and system setup can take time.
Key dates are spread across the year because ROSES is structured as a collection of program elements with staggered due dates. Notices of Intent (NOIs) are requested for most elements, with early NOI deadlines beginning March 16, 2012. Proposal due dates begin May 4, 2012 and continue through March 22, 2013, depending on the specific appendix element. For the MAP listing as captured in the source data, the posting date is February 23, 2012, and the closing date shown is May 25, 2012 (with an archive date of June 24, 2012), but applicants are expected to rely on the ROSES tables and the specific appendix instructions for the precise deadline and requirements that apply to their chosen program element.
To keep up with updates, NASA directs applicants to monitor the NSPIRES solicitation page and/or subscribe to its electronic notifications for amendments and newly added program elements through about February 2013, when a subsequent ROSES NRA was anticipated. NASA also provides an amendment archive and RSS feed on the NASA Science site for clarifications and corrections. For program-specific questions, the solicitation points proposers to the Program Officers listed within each appendix element's "Summary of Key Information." For general policies and procedures related to ROSES, the contact listed is Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (email sara@nasa.gov, phone 202-358-0879).
