Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2013 Cosmochemistry (Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZDA001N, cataloged under CFDA 43.001) is part of NASA Headquarters' broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013 (ROSES 2013) NASA Research Announcement. In practical terms, this is NASA's main annual umbrella solicitation used to fund competitively selected research and technology work that supports the Science Mission Directorate, including Planetary Science and the specific cosmochemistry-related topics described in the ROSES appendices. The announcement is distributed through NASA's NSPIRES system, with the solicitation becoming available around mid-February 2013, and it points applicants to the ROSES appendices and tables for the exact cosmochemistry program element scope, requirements, and due dates.
The opportunity supports both basic and applied research, plus enabling technologies, across the space and Earth science portfolio. For the cosmochemistry slice of ROSES, the emphasis is generally on understanding the chemical and isotopic nature and evolution of solar system materials and processes, and the solicitation explicitly includes laboratory analysis techniques and measurements relevant to extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial analog samples that help interpret mission observations. More broadly, ROSES 2013 covers work such as theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of measurement techniques and experimental methods that could be used on future missions; concepts for future missions; and advanced technologies that enable NASA missions. The text also highlights determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based measurements and returned samples, which is directly aligned with cosmochemistry style work (for example, improving reference data, standards, and calibration approaches that make spacecraft and laboratory datasets scientifically usable).
Funding levels and project scale can vary widely depending on the specific program element and the work proposed. NASA indicates that awards can be under $100,000 per year for narrowly scoped efforts like focused data analysis, but can exceed $1,000,000 per year for larger efforts such as development of science experiment hardware. Total funds available within any individual ROSES program element can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning that some elements may only select a handful of proposals while others may select many more, depending on priorities and proposal quality. The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may allow shorter or longer periods up to a five-year maximum.
Awards may be issued using several different mechanisms depending on the proposing organization and program needs, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and interagency or intra-agency transfers. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity. The opportunity is listed as discretionary and supports science and technology and other research and development activities.
Eligibility is broadly open in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign entities, government and private, for-profit and nonprofit, may submit proposals, and there is no stated limit on the number of submissions or teaming 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, and NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions. The solicitation directs non-U.S. proposers to specific sections of the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for rules and special situations, including cases where a non-U.S. organization proposes work that involves U.S. personnel requesting NASA support.
The application process is electronic and routed through NASA's proposal systems. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, but in either case the organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and Grants.gov submission also requires Grants.gov registration. NASA requires that the submission be made by an authorized organizational representative, and that all investigators and other participants (including co-investigators) be registered in NSPIRES. NASA strongly encourages prospective applicants to complete registrations and become familiar with the submission systems well before the deadline to avoid last-minute problems.
Key dates in the posting include a Posted Date of February 21, 2013, with an Original and Current Closing Date shown as May 10, 2013, and an Archive Date of June 9, 2013. The ROSES master announcement also describes a schedule where notices of intent are requested for most elements (with early NOI dates beginning in mid-March 2013) and proposal due dates rolling across different elements according to the tables in the NRA, so applicants are expected to confirm the exact cosmochemistry deadlines in the ROSES tables and the relevant appendix entry.
For updates, amendments, and clarifications, NASA directs applicants to monitor the NSPIRES ROSES page and/or subscribe to NSPIRES notifications, and it also maintains an online archive (with RSS feed) for amendments and corrections. For program-element-specific questions, NASA points applicants to the individual program officers listed in the appendices. For general ROSES policies and procedures, the listed contact is Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (Science Mission Directorate), using the provided sara@nasa.gov email and the listed telephone number.
