Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2013 Planetary Atmospheres (funding opportunity number NNH13ZDA001N, program element PATM) is part of NASA Headquarters' broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 2013 (ROSES 2013) NASA Research Announcement. The solicitation supports a wide span of basic and applied research and technology development across NASA's Science Mission Directorate, including Planetary Science (where the Planetary Atmospheres element sits), as well as Earth Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics. Within the overall ROSES framework, proposals can cover activities such as theory and modeling, analysis of existing NASA science data, development of methods and measurement techniques for future missions, maturation of advanced technologies relevant to NASA science missions, and laboratory and analytical work tied to samples (including extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples used to validate mission observations). The announcement also recognizes related work like suborbital investigations (aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, and commercial reusable suborbital platforms), field campaigns, and development of information systems that help translate Earth science research data into societal applications.

The opportunity offers flexible award sizes and project scopes, ranging from relatively small efforts (often under $100,000 per year for focused work such as data analysis) to large, resource-intensive projects (potentially exceeding $1 million per year for activities like development of science experiment hardware). Available funding is allocated by individual program element, and each element may have a budget anywhere from under $1 million to several million dollars, allowing NASA to select anywhere from a small handful to several dozen proposals depending on merit, program priorities, and the volume of strong submissions. Awards may be issued in different legal forms depending on the project and recipient type, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may specify shorter or longer periods, with an overall maximum of five years.

Eligibility is broad in the sense that organizations of many types may propose, including government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and both domestic and foreign institutions, with no stated restriction on the number of submissions or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA generally funds only U.S. institutions; non-U.S. organizations may participate under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning they typically must support their own costs, and they are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (notably Appendix B and other referenced sections) for specific rules and special instructions, especially in cases where non-U.S. organizations involve U.S. personnel requesting NASA support.

Operationally, ROSES 2013 is accessed through the NASA proposal portal NSPIRES (nspires.nasaprs.com) under Open Solicitations, with the overall ROSES package expected to be available around February 14, 2013. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the specified due dates for the relevant program element, and submission can be made through NSPIRES or Grants.gov. Registration in NSPIRES is required for any organization intending to submit; if submitting via Grants.gov, organizations must also register there in addition to NSPIRES. NSPIRES registration must identify authorized organizational representatives who can officially submit proposals, and all principal investigators and co-investigators must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. The solicitation also notes that Notices of Intent are requested for many program elements, with early NOI dates beginning in mid-March 2013, and it encourages teams to start registrations and familiarize themselves with the electronic systems well before the deadline.

For this specific posting, the opportunity was posted on April 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2013, and an archive date of July 21, 2013. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 43.001 (Science) and does not require cost sharing or matching. The full details for the Planetary Atmospheres element, including specific scope and program officer points of contact, are contained in the ROSES 2013 appendices and the tables that list element-by-element due dates. NASA also highlights that amendments and clarifications may be issued, and proposers are encouraged to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to its notification system, as well as consult the ROSES 2013 amendment archive webpage. General policy and procedure questions are directed to the ROSES contact listed (Max Bernstein, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters; sara@nasa.gov; 202-358-0879).
