Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2013 Land Cover / Land Use Change (LCLUC) is part of NASA Headquarters broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013 (ROSES 2013) solicitation, issued under Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZDA001N. This NASA Research Announcement is designed to fund both basic and applied research and related technology development across NASA Science Mission Directorate areas, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. The LCLUC element sits within that larger structure and supports research that improves understanding of how land cover and land use are changing, how those changes can be measured from space and other platforms, how they interact with Earth system processes, and how the resulting information can be used in practical decision-making contexts.
The solicitation invites proposals spanning a wide range of research and development activities tied to NASA science objectives. Examples of the kinds of work supported under ROSES include analysis and interpretation of NASA science data, theory and modeling efforts, and development of integrated Earth system models. It also includes field campaigns and Earth surface observations that complement or validate NASA mission data, and development of methods and applied information systems that translate Earth science research into societal benefits. While ROSES covers additional areas like suborbital investigations, new mission concepts, and advanced technology development, the LCLUC focus is most directly aligned with land surface observing, land change science, data analysis, modeling, and applications that rely on NASA Earth observations.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the scope of the proposed work. Smaller, tightly focused projects (such as targeted data analysis studies) may be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large, complex efforts (for example, extensive multi-year activities or hardware-related development in other ROSES elements) can exceed $1 million per year. The amount of funding available within each ROSES program element ranges from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which typically supports anywhere from a handful to several dozen selected proposals depending on priorities and proposal quality. Awards may be issued in different legal forms including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, based on the nature of the proposing organization and the needs of the specific program element.
The typical project period is four years, though some elements may specify shorter or longer durations, with an overall maximum of five years in most cases. NASA emphasizes electronic submission and centralized registration. Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, using either NSPIRES (NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) or Grants.gov. Any organization intending to apply must be registered in NSPIRES, and applicants using Grants.gov must be registered in both systems. In addition, all participating personnel, including principal investigators and co-investigators, must have NSPIRES registrations. NASA also encourages early system access and setup to avoid last-minute registration and submission issues.
Eligibility is broad in principle: organizations of many types may submit, including government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit institutions, and both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. In practice, NASA generally funds U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically handled under NASA policy requiring no exchange of funds, meaning international partners generally cannot receive NASA money directly and must support their participation through their own resources unless specific joint-program rules apply. The ROSES guidebook and Appendix B provide the detailed requirements and special instructions for proposals that involve non-U.S. organizations or U.S. personnel collaborating with them.
Key dates in the ROSES 2013 umbrella solicitation began with planned availability around February 14, 2013 through the NSPIRES solicitations page. Notices of Intent were requested for many elements, with early NOI dates beginning around mid-March 2013, and proposal due dates spanning a range across the solicitation. For the specific LCLUC posting information provided in the source data, the opportunity record shows a Posted Date of November 12, 2013, with an Original and Current Closing Date of December 2, 2013, and an Archive Date of January 1, 2014. Applicants were directed to consult the ROSES appendices and the due date tables for element-specific schedules and instructions, because ROSES operates as a large umbrella announcement with different deadlines and requirements depending on the program element.
To find the official call text and any amendments, applicants were directed to NSPIRES and NASA Science’s ROSES 2013 solicitation pages, including an archive and RSS feed for updates, clarifications, and corrections. For questions, the opportunity lists points of contact through program officers identified in the appendices for specific elements, and provides a general ROSES contact at NASA Headquarters (Max Bernstein, Science Mission Directorate) via sara@nasa.gov and telephone at 202-358-0879.
