Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2012 Near Earth Object Observations opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NNH12ZDA001N, often abbreviated as ROSES 2012 NEOO) is part of NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 solicitation issued by NASA Headquarters under CFDA 43.001 (Science). It is a NASA Research Announcement designed to fund competitively selected research and technology work that supports NASA Science Mission Directorate goals. While this particular listing highlights Near Earth Object Observations as the funding opportunity title, it sits within the larger ROSES umbrella that spans Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, and it uses the ROSES structure where specific topics and requirements are laid out in appendices and associated tables of due dates.
The overall scope of ROSES 2012 is intentionally wide, covering both basic and applied research as well as technology development activities that help NASA plan, execute, and interpret science missions. Examples of the kinds of work NASA invites include theory and modeling; analysis of NASA science data; development of new measurement or experiment techniques suitable for future missions; formulation of new mission concepts; development of advanced technologies relevant to NASA science missions; laboratory work and analytical techniques related to returned extraterrestrial samples (as well as terrestrial analog samples used to validate mission observations); work to determine atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret remote-sensing or sample data; Earth surface observations and field campaigns supporting NASA missions; development of integrated Earth system models; and development of applied information systems that translate Earth science data into societal benefits. In the NEO context, this broad framing supports proposals that improve NASA's ability to detect, track, characterize, and interpret observations of near-Earth objects, consistent with the program element details provided in the ROSES appendices.
Funding levels and award sizes vary widely because ROSES supports everything from small, focused studies to large, multi-year development efforts. The solicitation notes that awards can be under $100,000 per year for limited-scope efforts such as data analysis, and can exceed $1,000,000 per year for extensive activities such as building science experiment hardware. The amount of money available depends on the specific program element, ranging from less than one million dollars to several million dollars, which typically results in anywhere from a handful to several dozen selections depending on proposal quality and program priorities. The typical performance period is about four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, with an overall maximum generally capped at five years.
NASA indicates that it may use several funding instruments depending on the organization type and the needs of the program element, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and interagency or intra-agency transfers. This particular opportunity lists grants and cooperative agreements as eligible instruments. Cost sharing or matching is not required. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and is focused on science and technology and other research and development activities.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign entities, government and private institutions, for-profit and nonprofit organizations may submit, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA emphasizes a key policy point for international participation: projects involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA typically does not send funding to non-U.S. institutions. The listing also states that proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES, and that in general NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions, with non-U.S. participants needing to follow specific guidebook rules (including special instructions for cases where a non-U.S. organization includes U.S. personnel for whom NASA funding is requested).
The application process is built around NASA's electronic systems. Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, either through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or via Grants.gov, but in all cases the submitting organization must be registered in NSPIRES. If submitting through Grants.gov, registration in both Grants.gov and NSPIRES is required. In addition, all principal investigators and other participants such as co-investigators must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. NASA encourages organizations and investigators to complete registrations and familiarize themselves with the systems well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute submission issues.
Key dates for the overall ROSES 2012 solicitation begin with availability around February 14, 2012. Notices of Intent are requested for most program elements, with early NOI timing starting March 16, 2012. Proposal due dates for ROSES program elements start May 4, 2012 and extend through March 22, 2013, though this specific Near Earth Object Observations listing shows a posted date of April 13, 2012 and an original and current closing date of June 8, 2012, with an archive date of July 8, 2012. NASA also notes that ROSES is amended over time, and applicants are expected to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to notifications for amendments, clarifications, corrections, and any newly added program elements through roughly February 2013, when the next ROSES solicitation was anticipated.
For applicants trying to understand what to propose and how proposals will be evaluated, the most important practical instruction is that the detailed requirements live in the ROSES appendices, along with the Summary of Key Information for each program element and the relevant program officer contacts. General policy and procedural questions are directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879), while topic-specific questions should go to the program officers listed for the relevant appendix element.
