ROSES 2013 Near Earth Object Observations | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2013 Near Earth Object Observations (funding opportunity number NNH13ZDA001N, often abbreviated as NEOO under the larger ROSES 2013 umbrella) is a NASA Headquarters grant and cooperative agreement opportunity released as part of NASA's annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation. ROSES 2013 is a broad NASA Research Announcement (NRA) that invites proposals for basic and applied research and technology work that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. The Near Earth Object Observations topic sits within this larger menu of program elements described in the ROSES appendices, and applicants are expected to align their proposal with the specific goals, requirements, and evaluation details laid out for that element in the ROSES 2013 documentation.

The solicitation is designed to fund a wide range of science and technology activities relevant to NASA's space and Earth science missions and data. The scope explicitly includes theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; development and use of aircraft, balloon, sounding rocket, and commercial suborbital investigations; creation of new experimental techniques and instrumentation approaches suitable for future missions; early-stage concepts for future space missions; and advancement of technologies that directly enable SMD objectives. It also covers laboratory work and analytical methods for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples that help validate or interpret NASA observations, along with the atomic and compositional parameters needed to properly analyze observations and samples. On the Earth science side, it also highlights Earth surface observations and field campaigns supporting NASA missions, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied information systems that translate Earth science research into societal benefit. In other words, the opportunity is intentionally broad, and the "Near Earth Object Observations" element should be treated as one targeted slice of a much larger research portfolio.

Funding levels and award structures are flexible and depend on the specific program element, the scale of the work, and NASA's objectives. Typical award sizes range from under $100,000 per year for narrow, focused efforts like data analysis, up to more than $1,000,000 per year for large efforts such as developing science experiment hardware. Total funds available vary by program element, from less than $1 million to several million dollars, supporting anything from a handful of selections to several dozen, depending on proposal quality, program priorities, and available budgets. NASA indicates awards may be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter- or intra-agency transfers, with the mechanism depending on the proposing organization and the nature of the work. The typical performance period is four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, with a stated maximum of five years.

Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational types: government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and domestic and foreign organizations may submit, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, the notice emphasizes NASA's funding policy: NASA generally funds U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically expected to occur under a "no exchange of funds" basis. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to consult the NASA NRA Guidebook (including Appendix B and other cited sections) for detailed rules, especially in cases where a proposal involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.

The process is built around electronic submission and NASA's NSPIRES system. Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, either through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, but in all cases the organization must be registered in NSPIRES. If submitting via Grants.gov, the organization must also be registered there. NASA also requires that all principal investigators and other named participants (such as co-investigators) be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. For most program elements, NASA requests a Notice of Intent (NOI) ahead of the full proposal; the solicitation notes that the first NOI due date in the ROSES 2013 cycle was March 16, 2013, with proposal due dates varying by program element and provided in the ROSES tables. For the specific posting summarized here under the government-wide listing, the posted date is April 2, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2013, and an archive date of July 7, 2013. Cost sharing or matching is not required.

Applicants are directed to consult the ROSES 2013 appendices for the detailed description of each solicited program element (including Near Earth Object Observations), as well as the official due dates listed in the ROSES tables. NASA also points proposers to amendment and update resources, including NSPIRES notifications and a web archive (with RSS) for amendments, clarifications, and corrections. For questions, the solicitation identifies points of contact: program-element-specific questions go to the relevant Program Officer listed in the appendices, while general ROSES policies and procedures questions are directed to Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879).
