ROSES 2013 Heliophysics LWS Science | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2013 Heliophysics LWS Science is a funding opportunity released under NASA's broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013 (ROSES 2013) announcement, Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZDA001N, administered by NASA Headquarters under CFDA 43.001 (Science). It sits within NASA's Science Mission Directorate and invites proposals that advance basic and applied research and enabling technology across NASA science areas, with this specific listing tied to Heliophysics and Living With a Star (LWS) science. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to support research that improves understanding of the Sun-Earth system and related space environment processes, typically emphasizing work that helps explain, model, and ultimately predict conditions that affect space-based and ground-based technological systems and human activities.

The ROSES 2013 umbrella is intentionally broad and covers many kinds of space and Earth science work, including theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; investigations using aircraft, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets; development of experimental techniques and instrumentation approaches suitable for future missions; early-stage mission concepts; and advanced technologies relevant to future NASA Science Mission Directorate missions. It also includes laboratory and analytical work that supports interpretation of measurements, such as determining atomic or compositional parameters needed to analyze space data, along with Earth surface observations and field campaigns tied to NASA science objectives. While many of those categories span multiple divisions (Earth Science, Planetary Science, Astrophysics, and Heliophysics), the LWS science element focuses applicants toward heliophysics questions and capabilities aligned with the Living With a Star program's goals.

Funding levels and project sizes can vary widely. NASA notes that awards may be under $100,000 per year for tightly scoped efforts such as data analysis, while larger efforts, including development of science experiment hardware or extensive activities, can exceed $1 million per year. The amount available depends on the specific program element within ROSES, with element budgets ranging from less than $1 million to several million dollars total, which in turn influences how many proposals can be selected (from a handful to potentially several dozen). The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may allow shorter or longer durations up to a maximum of five years.

Awards may be issued using different legal instruments depending on the project and the proposing organization, including grants and cooperative agreements (both explicitly listed for this opportunity), and in some cases contracts or interagency and intraagency transfers. The announcement is open in terms of who can apply: organizations of every type may submit, including government or private entities, for-profit or nonprofit, and both domestic and foreign organizations, with no stated limit on the number of proposals or team arrangements. That said, the eligibility rules follow standard NASA policy: in general, NASA funding is provided only to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate only under a "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning NASA does not transfer money to the non-U.S. entity; additional rules apply if a non-U.S. organization proposes a project that involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested, and proposers are directed to NASA's NRA Guidebook and specific appendix guidance for those cases.

The solicitation was expected to be accessible through the NASA Research Opportunities homepage via NSPIRES (http://nspires.nasaprs.com/) by linking through Solicitations to Open Solicitations, with ROSES-related amendments and clarifications maintained via NASA's ROSES 2013 solicitation page and an archive/RSS feed. Proposal submission is electronic and must be submitted by an authorized organizational official. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, but registration requirements apply. Any organization intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES; organizations submitting via Grants.gov must also be registered with Grants.gov. In addition, all principal investigators and other participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA strongly encourages prospective applicants to complete registrations and become familiar with the systems well ahead of the deadline to avoid last-minute access or authorization problems.

Key dates in the posting for this specific listing include a Posted Date of February 21, 2013, a Creation Date of February 25, 2013, an Original Closing Date of March 1, 2013, and a Current Closing Date of March 15, 2013, with an Archive Date of April 14, 2013. Under the broader ROSES 2013 framework, NASA also describes a cadence of notices of intent (requested for many program elements) and program-element-specific due dates laid out in ROSES tables, with due dates spanning the 2013 calendar based on the appendix element. Applicants are expected to rely on the specific ROSES appendix for the exact program-element requirements, evaluation criteria, and due date associated with the Heliophysics LWS science element.

For guidance and questions, NASA points applicants to the ROSES appendices for the program officer contacts for each element, and provides a general ROSES contact at NASA Headquarters: Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate (email: sara@nasa.gov; phone: 202-358-0879). The announcement also notes that if an applicant has trouble accessing the full text electronically, they should contact the listed point of contact for assistance.
