Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2013 (funding opportunity number NNH13ZDA001N) is a NASA Research Announcement released by NASA Headquarters under the Science Mission Directorate to support a wide range of basic and applied research and technology work across Earth and space sciences. While the listing is labeled as an "Energy and Water Cycle Study" opportunity, it is actually part of the broader ROSES 2013 umbrella solicitation, which spans multiple NASA research programs and disciplines, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. The overarching purpose is to fund investigations and enabling technologies that advance NASA science objectives, strengthen the use of NASA data, and build capabilities for current and future missions.
The solicitation is intentionally broad in scope. It invites proposals for activities such as theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development of integrated Earth system models; and creation of methods that translate Earth science research results into practical applications and decision support tools. It also covers mission-enabling work, including the development of new measurement techniques and experiment concepts suitable for future space missions, advanced technologies relevant to NASA missions, and investigations using aircraft, stratospheric balloons, suborbital rockets, and commercial reusable rockets. In addition, the announcement includes laboratory and analytical work tied to sample science, such as techniques and measurements needed to analyze extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples used to validate or interpret observations from NASA Earth system missions. Field campaigns and Earth surface observations that support NASA science missions are also within scope.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the type and scale of work proposed. Smaller, focused efforts like targeted data analysis projects may be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large, complex efforts such as developing science instrument hardware or extensive technology activities can exceed $1,000,000 per year. Budgets and selection counts differ by the specific program element within ROSES; each element may have anywhere from less than a million to several million dollars available, which can translate into only a few awards or several dozen awards depending on the program objectives and the quality and quantity of submitted proposals.
NASA indicates that awards may be issued using several different mechanisms, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The choice depends on the nature of the work, the proposing organization, and program requirements. The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may allow shorter or longer projects, up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational types: government or private entities, for-profit or nonprofit organizations, and domestic or foreign institutions may submit. However, NASA generally funds only US institutions, and participation by non-US organizations is governed by NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning foreign organizations typically participate without receiving NASA funds. The announcement also notes that special guidance applies to proposals from non-US organizations that involve US personnel for whom NASA support is requested, and proposers are directed to relevant sections of the NASA NRA Guidebook for detailed rules.
The solicitation is managed through NASA's electronic proposal systems. Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, either through NSPIRES (the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System) or through Grants.gov, depending on the program element and submission pathway. Any organization intending to apply must be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations submitting through Grants.gov must be registered in both Grants.gov and NSPIRES. All principal investigators and other key participants must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of where the final proposal is submitted. NASA emphasizes registering and becoming familiar with the systems well before deadlines to avoid administrative issues.
Key dates in the opportunity include a posted date of April 2, 2013, and an original and current closing date listed as June 3, 2013, with an archive date of July 3, 2013. The broader ROSES structure also includes multiple program elements with their own due dates, and the solicitation references tables in the ROSES document (Tables 2 and 3) where element-specific deadlines are listed. For many elements, NASA requests an electronic Notice of Intent before the full proposal deadline. Program details, contacts, and element-specific instructions are provided in the ROSES appendices, and applicants are encouraged to monitor NSPIRES and NASA's ROSES amendments page for updates, clarifications, and corrections.
For general policy and procedure questions about the ROSES announcement, the listed point of contact is Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (email: sara@nasa.gov; phone: 202-358-0879). For questions about individual research areas or program elements, applicants are directed to the specific program officers identified in each appendix section of the ROSES 2013 NRA.
