Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2013 NASA Data for Operation and Assessment (Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZDA001N) is part of NASA Headquarters' annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences solicitation, released through the ROSES 2013 NASA Research Announcement (NRA). The opportunity supports a wide mix of basic and applied research and technology activities aligned with NASA's Science Mission Directorate programs in Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. In practical terms, it is an umbrella solicitation: many distinct program elements are bundled under one ROSES announcement, and applicants are expected to target the specific appendix and program element that best matches their work.
The scope is broad and covers most of the end-to-end research pipeline NASA needs to produce science and convert it into usable knowledge and tools. Eligible work includes theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development and use of aircraft, balloon, suborbital rocket, and commercial reusable rocket investigations; maturation of experiment techniques for future space missions; early-stage concepts for new missions; and development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions. It also explicitly includes laboratory methods and analyses for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and supporting terrestrial samples used to validate Earth observations, plus the underlying atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based data and samples. On the Earth side, the solicitation calls out surface observations and field campaigns that support missions, integrated Earth system modeling, and efforts aimed at applying Earth science research data to societal needs, including applied information systems that make NASA data more operationally useful.
Funding levels vary widely by the program element and the nature of the work. The announcement notes that awards can be under $100,000 per year for narrow, focused tasks such as data analysis, and can exceed $1 million per year for large, complex efforts such as development of science experiment hardware. The total funding available is not a single pool for the entire ROSES umbrella; rather, each program element has its own budget, ranging from under $1 million to several million dollars, enabling NASA to select anywhere from a handful to dozens of proposals depending on the goals and the quality and volume of submissions. The standard period of performance is typically four years, though some elements may specify shorter or longer periods, with a stated maximum of five years.
NASA may issue awards using several different legal instruments depending on the activity and the applicant's circumstances, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified in the source data. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 43.001 (Science) and is categorized as discretionary funding for science and technology and other research and development.
Eligibility is intentionally expansive on paper: organizations of every type may propose, including government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit, and domestic and foreign organizations, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. That said, the guidance emphasizes a key NASA policy for non-U.S. participation: collaborations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA typically will not transfer funding to non-U.S. entities. Non-U.S. applicants are directed to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including Appendix B and other cited sections) for detailed rules, including situations where non-U.S. proposals involve U.S. personnel who would request NASA support.
The application process is built around electronic submission and prior registration. Proposals must be submitted electronically either through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, but in both cases the proposing organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and anyone listed as a principal investigator or co-investigator must also be registered in NSPIRES. If submitting via Grants.gov, the organization must be registered there as well. NASA requires that proposals be submitted by an authorized organizational representative, and it strongly encourages organizations to complete registrations and become familiar with the systems well ahead of deadlines. Most program elements request an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) before the full proposal, with early NOIs beginning in mid-March 2013, while proposal due dates vary by program element and are provided in ROSES tables and appendix-specific instructions. The posted record for this particular listing shows a posted date of Feb 21, 2013 and an original/current closing date of May 15, 2013, but the broader ROSES 2013 umbrella includes multiple due dates across the year depending on the program element.
Finally, the solicitation emphasizes that the definitive requirements are contained in the ROSES appendices for each program element, along with the Summary of Key Information and the named NASA Program Officers who can answer element-specific questions. Applicants are also encouraged to monitor NSPIRES (and NASA's ROSES web archive and RSS feed for amendments) for updates, clarifications, and corrections. General policy and procedural questions for ROSES are directed to the SMD research contact listed in the announcement (Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters, via sara@nasa.gov and the provided phone number).

Where can non-U.S. applicants find the detailed rules on participation and funding?
Non-U.S. applicants are directed to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers, including Appendix B and other cited sections, for detailed rules and for situations involving U.S. personnel requesting NASA support.
How are proposals submitted?
Proposals must be submitted electronically through either NSPIRES or Grants.gov.
Is NSPIRES registration required even if submitting through Grants.gov?
Yes. In both cases, the proposing organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and anyone listed as a principal investigator or co-investigator must also be registered in NSPIRES.
Are there additional registration requirements if submitting via Grants.gov?
Yes. If submitting via Grants.gov, the organization must be registered in Grants.gov as well.
Who must submit the proposal on behalf of the organization?
NASA requires that proposals be submitted by an authorized organizational representative.
Does NASA require or encourage a Notice of Intent (NOI)?
Most program elements request an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) before the full proposal. Early NOIs begin in mid-March 2013, while actual due dates vary by program element.
What are the key dates listed for this posting?
The posted record shows a posted date of Feb 21, 2013 and an original/current closing date of May 15, 2013. However, ROSES 2013 includes multiple due dates across the year depending on the specific program element.

The definitive requirements are contained in the ROSES appendices for each program element, along with the Summary of Key Information.
Who should I contact with element-specific technical or program questions?
The solicitation identifies NASA Program Officers for each program element who can answer element-specific questions.
How will applicants learn about amendments, clarifications, and corrections?
Applicants are encouraged to monitor NSPIRES for updates and also to use NASA's ROSES web archive and RSS feed for amendments.
Who should be contacted for general ROSES policy and procedural questions?
General policy and procedural questions for ROSES are directed to the SMD research contact listed in the announcement: Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters, via sara@nasa.gov and the provided phone number.
What is the practical first step for an applicant deciding where to apply within ROSES?
Applicants should identify the specific ROSES appendix and program element that best matches their work, because requirements, budgets, and deadlines are driven by the program element rather than by the umbrella title alone.
