Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2014 Dawn at Ceres Guest Investigator Program (DACGIP), issued under NASA ROSES 2014 as part of the NASA Research Announcement NNH14ZDA001N, is a competitive research funding opportunity run by NASA Headquarters in support of the Science Mission Directorate (SMD). The overall purpose is to fund basic and applied research that advances NASA science goals, with this specific element centered on enabling investigators to conduct science using data and resources associated with the Dawn mission at Ceres. Like other ROSES elements, it is intended to expand the science return of a major mission by supporting investigators who were not necessarily part of the original mission team, typically through focused science investigations, data analysis, modeling, and related interpretive work.
The solicitation sits within the broader ROSES umbrella, which spans a wide range of space and Earth science research and technology. Across ROSES 2014, NASA invites proposals covering theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development and maturation of techniques and technologies relevant to future missions; concept development for future missions; and laboratory and field work that strengthens interpretation of mission observations. The ROSES scope also includes work using platforms such as aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital vehicles, as well as research on sample analysis (extraterrestrial returned samples and terrestrial analogs) and foundational measurements (for example, atomic or compositional parameters) that make remote-sensing and in situ data more interpretable. While DACGIP is one program element within that much larger catalog, it follows the same general ROSES structure and rules, with the technical specifics and evaluation priorities defined in its appendix and key information summary.
Funding levels under ROSES vary widely depending on what is being proposed. The announcement notes that awards can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly scoped efforts like data analysis up to more than $1 million per year for large, resource-intensive work such as building or developing science hardware. For each ROSES program element, total available funding can range from under $1 million to several million dollars, meaning NASA may select anywhere from only a few proposals to several dozen, depending on program goals and the number of high-quality submissions. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or interagency/intraagency transfers, with the instrument type depending on the proposing organization and the nature of the work. Periods of performance are typically four years, though some elements can be shorter or longer, with a stated maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and nonprofit, may submit proposals, with no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA policy generally limits direct funding to U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically allowed only on a no-exchange-of-funds basis (meaning NASA does not provide funding to the non-U.S. partner). The notice points proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for detailed rules affecting non-U.S. organizations, including situations where a non-U.S. institution proposes while requesting NASA support for U.S. personnel.
Proposals must be submitted electronically, and the submission must be made by an authorized organizational representative. NASA allows submission through NSPIRES (the NASA proposal system) or via Grants.gov, but in all cases the organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations using Grants.gov must be registered in both systems. All principal investigators and other participants, including co-investigators, must also be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. The announcement emphasizes starting registration and system familiarization early, since proposal preparation requires entering specific organizational and personnel information and meeting system requirements by the program element due date.
Key dates and administrative identifiers for this opportunity include a posted date of July 21, 2014, an original closing date of August 14, 2014, and a current closing date of October 27, 2014, with an archive date of November 26, 2014. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 43.001 (Science), has no cost sharing requirement, and uses grant and cooperative agreement instruments among the supported options. Because ROSES is a large, evolving omnibus solicitation, NASA also directs applicants to the ROSES Tables (organized by due date and by subject area) and to monitor NSPIRES for amendments or new elements through February 2015, when a subsequent ROSES solicitation was expected. For program-specific questions, applicants are directed to the program officers listed in the relevant appendix materials, while general ROSES policy and procedure questions are routed to the SMD research contact (with Max Bernstein identified as the lead contact in the announcement).
