Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2013 Atmospheric Composition Campaign Data Analysis and Modeling (ACCDAM) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader NASA Research Announcement (NRA) called Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013, identified as NNH13ZDA001N. It sits within NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) research portfolio and is designed to fund research that supports NASA Earth and space science objectives, with this particular element focusing on atmospheric composition campaign data analysis and modeling. In practice, that means proposals are expected to make strong scientific use of existing atmospheric composition observations from NASA-supported campaigns and related assets, and to advance understanding through analysis, interpretation, and modeling rather than building entirely new operational systems.
The solicitation is part of ROSES, which is NASA's main annual umbrella announcement covering many research program elements across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. Across ROSES 2013, NASA seeks both basic and applied work spanning theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data, including data from aircraft missions, field and surface campaigns, suborbital platforms (such as stratospheric balloons and rockets), and related investigations. The ROSES text also highlights interest in developing and improving experiment techniques for future missions, proposing concepts for future missions, advancing technologies that enable SMD missions, performing laboratory and sample analyses that help interpret spacecraft and Earth system observations, improving key atomic/compositional parameters used in data interpretation, developing integrated Earth system models, and building approaches and information systems that translate Earth science research results into societal applications. ACCDAM is positioned within that broader framework, emphasizing campaign data exploitation and modeling tied to atmospheric composition science goals.
NASA indicates that funding levels vary widely depending on scope. Smaller, tightly focused efforts such as limited data analysis can be under 100,000 dollars per year, while larger, more complex activities (for example, substantial technology or hardware development in other ROSES elements) can exceed 1 million dollars per year. For any given program element, NASA notes that the available total budget may range from less than 1 million to several million dollars, which typically results in selection of anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals, depending on program priorities and the merit and volume of submissions. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter/intra-agency transfers, depending on the proposing organization and program needs. The typical performance period is about four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer terms up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad by organization type: domestic and foreign entities, government or private, for-profit or nonprofit, may submit, and NASA does not restrict the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, the practical funding rule is that NASA generally funds US institutions, and participation by non-US organizations is typically required to be on a no-exchange-of-funds basis (meaning NASA funds do not flow to the non-US organization). The announcement points proposers to the NASA NRA Guidebook (including Appendix B and other cited sections) for specific instructions, especially for proposals involving non-US organizations and cases where US personnel support is requested.
Submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized organizational representative. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, but in either case the proposing organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and anyone listed as a principal investigator or co-investigator must also be registered in NSPIRES. If submitting through Grants.gov, registration there is also required in addition to NSPIRES. The solicitation strongly encourages organizations to complete registrations and become familiar with the systems well ahead of deadlines to avoid administrative delays.
Timing is described in two ways in the source text because ROSES operates with multiple program elements and rolling due dates. For ROSES 2013 generally, the announcement was expected to be available around February 14, 2013, with Notices of Intent (NOIs) requested for many elements beginning around mid-March 2013, and proposal due dates spread across the year by appendix-specific schedules. In the listing details provided for ACCDAM under FundingOpportunityNumber NNH13ZDA001N with the ACCDAM tag, the posting/creation date is shown as November 25, 2013, with a closing date of February 14, 2014, and an archive date of March 16, 2014. The practical takeaway is that applicants needed to follow the appendix instructions and tables in ROSES for the specific due date associated with the ACCDAM element, and also watch for amendments or clarifications.
Administrative guidance emphasizes that the full set of requirements, program descriptions, and the correct due dates are contained in the ROSES appendices and the referenced tables, and NASA advises proposers to monitor the NSPIRES ROSES page and the ROSES 2013 amendment archive/RSS feed for updates. Program-specific questions are directed to the program officers listed within the relevant appendix, while general ROSES policy and procedure questions were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (SMD), using the contact details provided in the announcement.
In short, this opportunity is a NASA ROSES 2013 call that funds atmospheric composition campaign data analysis and modeling within a much larger research umbrella. It supports scientifically grounded analysis and modeling efforts that leverage NASA and partner observations, is open to many organization types with NASA funding generally flowing to US institutions, uses NSPIRES/Grants.gov for electronic submission, and follows appendix-specific requirements and deadlines with awards commonly structured for multi-year research periods.
