Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2014 Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists (CDAPS) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader ROSES 2014 umbrella NRA (Funding Opportunity Number NNH14ZDA001N). It sits within NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) research portfolio and is aimed at supporting basic and applied research that advances NASA science goals, with this specific element emphasizing scientific analysis and participation related to Cassini mission data. Like other ROSES elements, it is intended to fund work such as scientific data analysis, interpretation, modeling, and related research activities that extract new science results from existing mission datasets and strengthen the community of scientists actively engaged with NASA mission science.
The ROSES 2014 NRA is wide in scope, covering theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data as well as technology and methods that enable future science. The solicitation language highlights that proposed work may span space and Earth science topics and can include, depending on the program element, activities such as developing experiment techniques for future missions, formulating mission concepts, advancing technologies relevant to SMD missions, conducting laboratory analyses of extraterrestrial or terrestrial samples that help interpret spacecraft observations, determining atomic and composition parameters needed for space data analysis, running Earth surface field campaigns that support NASA missions, building integrated Earth system models, and developing applied information systems that translate Earth science data into societal benefits. Within that larger landscape, CDAPS is one of the competed program elements listed in the ROSES appendices and tables, with its own due date and program officer contacts.
Funding levels vary widely across ROSES program elements, from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as data analysis projects, up to more than $1 million per year for large, complex efforts such as science hardware development. The amount available for selections in any given element can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning NASA might select only a few proposals in some elements or several dozen in others, depending on priorities and the quality of submissions. The typical period of performance is four years, although some elements may specify shorter periods and a few may allow up to five years.
Awards may be issued using different legal instruments depending on the proposer and the work scope, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. Eligibility is broad in the sense that organizations of every type may submit proposals (government or private, for-profit or nonprofit, domestic or foreign) and there is no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. That said, NASA generally funds U.S. institutions; non-U.S. organizations can participate under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning they typically must support their participation using their own resources unless special joint-solicitation rules apply. The announcement also notes there are specific guidebook sections that govern proposals involving non-U.S. organizations, especially when U.S. personnel support is requested.
Proposal submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized organizational representative by the due date for the specific program element. Submissions can be made through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, but in either case the organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and if using Grants.gov it must be registered in both systems. All principal investigators and co-investigators must have NSPIRES registrations regardless of which submission portal is used. Because registration and system familiarity can take time, the solicitation encourages organizations to start early rather than waiting until close to the deadline.
Key dates and where to find detailed requirements are handled through the ROSES structure: the full list of program elements, their descriptions, and element-specific instructions are in the ROSES appendices, while Tables 2 and 3 provide quick navigation by due date and by subject area. For this CDAPS opportunity, the posting date was May 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 26, 2014, and an archive date of October 26, 2014. Questions about general ROSES policies and procedures were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein (SMD Research lead) via the SARA mailbox, while element-specific questions were to be addressed to the relevant program officers identified in the appendices.
FAQs: ROSES 2014 Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists (CDAPS)
What is ROSES 2014 CDAPS?
ROSES 2014 Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists (CDAPS) is a competed NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader ROSES 2014 umbrella NRA (Funding Opportunity Number NNH14ZDA001N). It is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) research portfolio and focuses on scientific analysis and participation related to Cassini mission data.
Which NASA organization is sponsoring this opportunity?
The opportunity sits within NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and is released by NASA Headquarters as part of the ROSES 2014 NRA.
What is the main purpose of the CDAPS element?
CDAPS emphasizes scientific analysis and participation connected to Cassini mission data, supporting research activities that extract new science results from existing mission datasets and strengthen the community of scientists engaged with NASA mission science.
What kinds of activities are generally supported under ROSES, and how does CDAPS fit within that?

Do investigators need NSPIRES registrations even if submitting via Grants.gov?
Yes. All principal investigators and co-investigators must have NSPIRES registrations regardless of which submission portal (NSPIRES or Grants.gov) is used.
Who should submit the proposal?
The proposal must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative.
Why does the solicitation encourage early registration and preparation?
Because registration and system familiarity can take time, the solicitation encourages organizations to start early rather than waiting until close to the deadline.
