Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2013 Astrophysics Theory Program (ATP) is part of NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013 solicitation (ROSES 2013), issued under Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZDA001N. Through this NASA Research Announcement, NASA invited proposals for research and technology activities that support its Science Mission Directorate across four major research areas: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. While the specific program element here is the Astrophysics Theory Program, it sits within a larger umbrella solicitation that funds many kinds of space and Earth science work, with program details and requirements spelled out in the ROSES appendices and accompanying tables of due dates.
The opportunity supports a wide span of basic and applied research activities relevant to NASA science goals. In the context of ROSES, this includes theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; concept development for future missions; development of experiment techniques and advanced technologies that could enable future missions; and a range of supporting laboratory and field efforts that help interpret observations. The solicitation also highlights work connected to suborbital and airborne investigations (such as aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, and commercial reusable suborbital platforms), along with methods and measurements needed to interpret space-based data, including atomic and compositional parameters and sample analyses. Overall, the emphasis is on research and technology that either produces new scientific understanding from existing or forthcoming NASA data or improves the tools, models, and techniques NASA relies on for future science return.
Funding levels and award structures are intentionally flexible to match the scope of proposed work. Typical budgets can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused projects like targeted data analysis, up to more than $1,000,000 per year for large-scale efforts such as substantial hardware or major experimental developments. Total funding available varies by individual program element, from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means selection rates and the number of awards can differ widely depending on NASA priorities and the quality and quantity of proposals received. NASA anticipated making awards through multiple mechanisms, including grants and cooperative agreements (the instrument types listed for this opportunity), and in some cases contracts or interagency transfers, depending on the proposer and the nature of the work.
The typical period of performance described for ROSES awards is four years, with some programs allowing shorter periods and a maximum generally capped at five years. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing identifies the activity category as science and technology and other research and development, and it is associated with CFDA number 43.001 (Science). The posting and creation date for this specific listing are April 30, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2013, and an archive date of August 11, 2013.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type, with domestic and foreign, government and private, for-profit and nonprofit organizations allowed to submit proposals, and no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA generally funds only U.S. institutions, and non-U.S. participation is typically handled under NASA policy requiring no exchange of funds. The solicitation points non-U.S. proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for detailed rules, including special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested. Practically, this means international teams can participate, but the funding arrangement must conform to NASA restrictions and any program-specific guidance.
Submission is electronic and structured around NASA systems. Proposals were required to be submitted electronically, either through NSPIRES (NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) or via Grants.gov, but in all cases the organization had to be registered in NSPIRES. Organizations submitting through Grants.gov also needed Grants.gov registration in addition to NSPIRES registration. Submissions had to be made by an authorized organizational representative, and all investigators and participants (including co-investigators) needed NSPIRES registration regardless of the submission pathway. ROSES also requests Notices of Intent for many program elements, with due dates varying by element; the solicitation stresses that teams should register and familiarize themselves with the systems well ahead of deadlines to avoid administrative issues.
Key logistics and reference points are centralized in the ROSES 2013 documents. The solicitation notes that full details for each program element (including ATP) are provided in the ROSES appendices, and that proposal due dates are organized in tables within the ROSES NRA. NASA also advised proposers to monitor the NSPIRES site for updates, amendments, and newly added program elements, and provided an amendments archive page (including an RSS feed) for clarifications and corrections. For program-specific questions, the solicitation directs applicants to the individual program officers listed in each program element’s Summary of Key Information, while general ROSES policy and procedure questions were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879).
