Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2013 Ocean Salinity Field Campaign Analysis and Planning (funding opportunity number NNH13ZDA001N, often shortened to “ROSES 2013”) is a NASA Headquarters grant and cooperative agreement opportunity released under NASA’s broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences program. While the specific topic named here focuses on ocean salinity field campaign analysis and planning, it sits inside a much larger NASA Research Announcement (NRA) that funds basic and applied research and technology across Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics. In practice, this means proposals are expected to connect to NASA’s Science Mission Directorate priorities and to one or more program elements listed in the ROSES appendices, with the ocean salinity field campaign topic falling under the Earth science side of the portfolio.
The scope of ROSES 2013 is deliberately wide, and it supports work ranging from scientific analysis through technology development. Eligible activities described in the announcement include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; airborne and suborbital investigations (such as aircraft, balloons, and rockets); development of experimental techniques and instrumentation relevant to future missions; new mission concepts; advanced technologies tied to NASA mission needs; laboratory analysis of samples (both extraterrestrial returned samples and terrestrial samples used to validate Earth observations); Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA Earth system science missions; integrated Earth system modeling; and applied systems that translate Earth science research into societal or decision-support uses. For an ocean salinity field campaign analysis and planning effort, the most relevant lanes are typically field campaign support, analysis of Earth-observing data, mission-relevant algorithm or validation work, and planning activities that strengthen the scientific return of NASA ocean salinity measurements.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the proposed work. The announcement indicates that smaller, focused efforts (for example, data analysis projects) can be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large and complex activities (such as developing science experiment hardware) can exceed $1,000,000 per year. The amount available is not a single fixed pot; instead, each ROSES program element has its own budget ranging from less than $1 million to several million dollars, allowing NASA to select from a handful to dozens of proposals depending on program goals and the number of high-quality submissions. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or interagency/intraagency transfers, depending on the proposer type and what the work requires. The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, with five years noted as the maximum.
Eligibility is broad in the sense that organizations of many types may apply, including government and private entities, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and domestic or foreign organizations. However, the practical funding rule is that NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate under NASA’s “no exchange of funds” policy, meaning they can collaborate but are normally expected to cover their own costs, unless a specific jointly issued solicitation or special guideline applies. Proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES (NASA’s proposal system). If submission is through Grants.gov, registration there is also required, but NSPIRES registration is still mandatory. All investigators and participants (including co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES, and proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative.
Key logistics and timing in the posted grant record indicate that this specific ROSES 2013 Ocean Salinity Field Campaign Analysis and Planning opportunity was posted on September 24, 2013, with a closing date of December 2, 2013 (and an archive date of January 1, 2014). The broader ROSES 2013 solicitation also references Notices of Intent (requested for many elements) and staggered due dates by program element, with the exact due date determined by the relevant appendix and its “Summary of Key Information.” Applicants are directed to monitor NSPIRES for amendments and updates, and to use the ROSES 2013 web archive for clarifications and corrections. For questions on general ROSES policies and procedures, the announcement points to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters (sara@nasa.gov, 202-358-0879), while program-element-specific questions are handled by the program officers listed in the appendices.
In short, this opportunity is NASA’s mechanism (under ROSES 2013) for funding research and planning work that supports NASA Earth science missions and datasets, with this particular listing emphasizing ocean salinity field campaign analysis and planning. It offers flexible award sizes and instruments, expects electronic submission through NSPIRES (and possibly Grants.gov), generally funds U.S.-based institutions, and relies on the ROSES appendices to define the precise requirements, evaluation context, and program contacts for the ocean salinity topic area.
