Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2013 Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) Continuing Prototype Product Development, Research, and Scoping opportunity is part of NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013 (ROSES 2013) solicitation, released under Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZDA001N. ROSES is NASA Science Mission Directorate's main umbrella announcement for competed research and technology work, and this specific CMS element sits within the Earth Science portfolio with a focus on advancing carbon monitoring capabilities. In practical terms, NASA is looking to fund efforts that continue building and improving prototype carbon monitoring products, expand the underlying research that makes those products credible and useful, and scope the next steps needed to mature the system and its applications.
The overall ROSES 2013 announcement is designed to support a wide range of basic and applied research and technology development tied to NASA's major science programs: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. The solicitation explicitly covers activities such as theory, modeling, and analysis using NASA Science Mission Directorate data; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions; development of integrated Earth system models; and creation of systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits. It also includes technology and mission-related work such as developing experiment techniques for future space missions, advancing mission-relevant technologies, and even supporting investigations using aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, and commercial suborbital platforms. Within that broad scope, the CMS program element emphasizes carbon-related monitoring products and the research and planning needed to keep moving them from prototype status toward more operationally reliable, decision-relevant outputs.
NASA indicates that award sizes can vary widely depending on the scale of the work. Smaller, focused projects (like targeted data analysis) may be under $100,000 per year, while large, complex efforts (like significant hardware development or extensive system-building activities) can exceed $1 million per year. Funding available depends on the specific program element, generally ranging from under $1 million to several million dollars total for that element, which means NASA may select anywhere from a handful to several dozen proposals depending on goals, available funds, and proposal quality. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter- and intra-agency transfers, with the instrument chosen based on the proposing organization and the nature of the work. The typical performance period is about four years, though some elements may allow shorter or longer projects up to a five-year maximum.
Eligibility is broadly open in terms of organization type. Domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and nonprofit groups can propose, and there is no stated limit on the number of proposals or team arrangements. However, NASA notes an important constraint for non-U.S. participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, meaning NASA typically does not transfer funds 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 special guidelines available for exceptions or joint solicitations. Non-U.S. organizations are directed to consult Appendix B, section (l) of the NASA NRA Guidebook for Proposers for the detailed rules, and to follow additional guidance if a proposal involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA funding is requested.
The application process is fully electronic and runs through NASA's NSPIRES system and/or Grants.gov. Every organization intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and if submitting through Grants.gov, the organization must also be registered there in addition to NSPIRES. Registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who are permitted to submit proposals. All principal investigators and other key participants (including co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA strongly encourages teams to start registration and system familiarization well ahead of the deadline to avoid last-minute technical or administrative issues. Many ROSES elements request an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) prior to proposal submission; for ROSES 2013, the earliest NOI date cited is March 16, 2013, while proposal due dates across the umbrella solicitation begin in early May 2013 and extend into 2014 for different elements. For this CMS opportunity listing, the posted date is May 2, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of July 28, 2013.
Key administrative details include the opportunity category (discretionary), common funding instruments (grant and cooperative agreement are explicitly listed), the activity category (science and technology and other research and development), and CFDA number 43.001 (Science). No cost sharing or matching is required. NASA directs applicants to the ROSES 2013 appendices for the element-by-element requirements, specific due dates, and program officer contacts. Applicants are also encouraged to monitor NSPIRES for amendments and updates and to consult the ROSES amendment archive hosted on NASA's science website. For general ROSES policies and procedures, the point of contact listed is Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (email: sara@nasa.gov, phone: 202-358-0879), with program-element-specific questions routed to the relevant program officers identified in the ROSES appendices.
In short, this CMS ROSES 2013 opportunity is a NASA Earth Science funding call under the larger ROSES umbrella aimed at keeping momentum on carbon monitoring system prototypes: improving product generation methods, strengthening the science and modeling behind the products, and performing the scoping work needed to guide future development and applications. It uses standard ROSES mechanisms (NSPIRES/Grants.gov submission, typical multi-year periods, and a range of award sizes and instruments) while applying NASA's usual eligibility and international participation rules, especially the no-exchange-of-funds policy for non-U.S. organizations.
