Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2013 Carbon Cycle Science (Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZDA001N, often labeled with the element tag "CARBON") is part of NASA Headquarters' broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013 (ROSES 2013) announcement. ROSES is NASA's main annual research solicitation that invites proposals across many Science Mission Directorate areas, and this specific opportunity sits within that framework while focusing on topics aligned with carbon cycle science within Earth science. The solicitation supports both basic and applied research and also allows for technology and method development when it advances NASA science objectives.
The scope of work covered under ROSES 2013 is intentionally broad. It can include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development and use of observing approaches such as aircraft and balloon campaigns and other suborbital investigations; new measurement or experiment techniques that could be used on future missions; early-stage concepts for future space missions; and advanced technologies that enable science investigations. It also explicitly includes laboratory and analytical work on samples (including extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and Earth samples that help validate or interpret NASA Earth observations), determining atomic or compositional parameters needed to interpret observations, and Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA Earth system science missions. Another key theme is building or improving integrated Earth system models and creating applied information systems that translate Earth science research outputs into societal benefit, as long as they remain aligned with NASA's objectives and data streams.
Funding levels and project size can vary widely depending on what is proposed and which program element a proposal targets. Typical awards can be under $100,000 per year for tightly scoped tasks like data analysis, and can exceed $1,000,000 per year for large, complex activities such as building science experiment hardware or other major developments. The amount available for selection within each program element ranges from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning NASA may select only a few proposals in some elements or several dozen in others, depending on program priorities and the quality and number of submissions. Cost sharing is not required.
NASA expects most awards to run about four years, though some program elements may specify shorter or longer durations, with an overall maximum period of performance typically capped at five years. Depending on the proposing organization and the specific needs of the program element, NASA may issue the award as a grant, cooperative agreement, contract, or as interagency or intraagency transfers.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type: government or private, for-profit or nonprofit, domestic or foreign, and teaming is allowed without a stated limit on the number of proposals. That said, NASA policy generally funds U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically allowed only under a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA does not transfer money to the non-U.S. organization. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to specific sections of NASA's NRA Guidebook for Proposers (including Appendix B and related sections) for the rules that apply, especially in cases where a non-U.S. proposal involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA funding is requested.
The solicitation was posted March 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 31, 2013, for this Carbon Cycle Science opportunity listing. More generally within ROSES 2013, proposal due dates vary by program element and are laid out in the ROSES tables, with many elements requesting a Notice of Intent (NOI) in advance of the full proposal submission. Proposals must be submitted electronically, and NASA requires institutional registration in NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System). Submissions can be made through NSPIRES or via Grants.gov, but even when using Grants.gov, registration in NSPIRES is still required. NASA also requires that the authorized organizational representative be identified for submission, and that all investigators and key participants be registered in NSPIRES ahead of time to avoid last-minute access and compliance issues.
Operationally, applicants are directed to find ROSES 2013 by going to the NASA Research Opportunities homepage in NSPIRES and navigating to Open Solicitations. The detailed requirements, topic descriptions, and points of contact for each program element (including Carbon Cycle Science) are provided in the ROSES appendices, where NASA lists program officers and element-specific instructions. Amendments, clarifications, and corrections are managed through NASA's ROSES web archive and notification services, and proposers are encouraged to monitor those channels for updates during the open period. For general questions about ROSES policies and procedures, the listing provides a headquarters contact (Max Bernstein) and the shared ROSES support email (sara@nasa.gov).
