Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2012 opportunity titled "Science Investigations as Members of the Euclid Consortium and Euclid Science Team" (Funding Opportunity Number NNH12ZDA001N) sits under NASA's broad annual omnibus solicitation, Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2012 (ROSES 2012). In practical terms, it is a call for research proposals that support NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics, with this particular element focused on enabling U.S. scientists to participate in Euclid-related science activities through membership on the Euclid Consortium and/or the Euclid Science Team. ROSES is structured as a single umbrella announcement with many separate program elements listed in appendices, each with its own goals and due dates, and Euclid is one of those competed elements within the broader NRA framework.
The solicitation is designed to fund both basic and applied research and technology work that advances NASA-relevant science objectives. While the Euclid-specific element is about science investigations connected to the Euclid mission, ROSES 2012 as a whole explicitly covers a very wide range of activity types: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; investigations using aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, or commercial reusable suborbital vehicles; development of experimental techniques and instrument approaches that could feed future missions; concept studies for future missions; maturation of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; laboratory work and analytical techniques for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples used to validate Earth-observing missions; determination of atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based observations and samples; Earth surface observations and field campaigns supporting SMD missions; development of integrated Earth system models; and systems that translate Earth science research into societal applications, including applied information systems aligned with SMD data and objectives. This breadth matters because proposers are expected to align their Euclid work not only with the mission science, but also with NASA programmatic goals and the specific requirements of the Euclid program element as described in the relevant ROSES appendix.
Funding levels are flexible and can vary widely depending on what is being proposed. The announcement states that awards can range from under $100,000 per year for narrow, focused efforts such as data analysis, up to more than $1,000,000 per year for large, extensive activities such as developing science experiment hardware. The total funding available is not a single pot for all of ROSES; instead, each program element has its own budget range, described as anywhere from less than $1 million to several million dollars. That structure means the number of awards can vary from only a few selections to several dozen within a given element, depending on the program objectives and the quality and quantity of submitted proposals.
ROSES 2012 awards may be issued using different legal instruments depending on the nature of the work and the proposing organization. NASA indicates it may make awards as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter- or intra-agency transfers. The listed funding instrument types for this opportunity include grants and cooperative agreements. The typical performance period is four years, though some elements may specify shorter or longer periods, with a stated maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in organizational type but narrower in funding rules, especially for non-U.S. participation. The solicitation allows proposals from organizations of every type, including government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and both domestic and foreign institutions, with no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA also states its general policy that it provides funding only to U.S. institutions, and that participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically conducted under a "no exchange of funds" basis. Non-U.S. organizations that wish to participate are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including Appendix B, Section (l)) and other cited sections for special instructions, particularly in situations where a non-U.S. proposal involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested. For this Euclid-related element, that typically translates into U.S.-based investigators seeking NASA support while coordinating with the broader international Euclid effort under the applicable policy constraints.
The timeline in the opportunity reflects both the overall ROSES schedule and the Euclid element's specific posting and closing window. ROSES 2012 was expected to be accessible via the NASA Research Opportunities homepage (NSPIRES) around February 14, 2012. Across ROSES, proposal due dates begin May 4, 2012 and extend through March 22, 2013 depending on the element, and Notices of Intent (NOIs) are requested for many elements, with an early NOI date of March 16, 2012. For this specific Euclid listing, the posted date is May 23, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. Applicants had to pay close attention to the appendix and the ROSES tables that list element-by-element due dates (Tables 2 and 3 in the NRA), because ROSES deadlines are not uniform across all programs.
Submission is electronic and is tightly tied to NASA's registration and authorization requirements. Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational official, and NASA accepts submission through NSPIRES and, in some cases, through Grants.gov. Any organization intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations submitting through Grants.gov must also be registered there in addition to NSPIRES. NASA emphasizes that the registration must identify authorized organizational representatives who can submit proposals, and that all principal investigators and other participants such as co-investigators must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. The announcement strongly encourages teams to register and familiarize themselves with the systems well before the deadline to avoid administrative disqualification due to incomplete registrations or missing credentials.
Finally, the solicitation explains how updates and questions are handled. Because ROSES is frequently amended during its open period, proposers are encouraged to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to its email notifications for amendments, clarifications, and new program elements through February 2013, when a subsequent ROSES NRA was planned. NASA also points to an online archive (with an RSS feed) for ROSES 2012 amendments and corrections. For program-specific questions, applicants are directed to the individual program officers listed in the appendices for each element, while general ROSES policy and procedural questions are directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879). This setup matters because the decisive details for the Euclid investigations element (specific science scope, expected roles on the Euclid Consortium/Science Team, and any special review criteria or requirements) would be contained in the Euclid appendix entry and any subsequent amendments posted during the open period.
