Opportunity Summary:
NASA Headquarters released the ROSES 2014 Exoplanets Research opportunity under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2014 solicitation (NRA NNH14ZDA001N). The call is designed to fund basic and applied research that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate, with exoplanets research being one program element within a much larger portfolio that spans space science and Earth science. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to move NASA science forward by paying for the kind of work that turns mission data into discoveries, matures new measurement and analysis capabilities, and builds the foundations for future missions.
The scope is intentionally wide. Proposed work can include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; development and use of research platforms such as aircraft campaigns, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, investigations on the International Space Station, CubeSats, and other suborbital or reusable launch vehicle demonstrations; and the creation of new experimental techniques suitable for later spaceflight. NASA also invites concepts for future missions and development of advanced technologies relevant to mission needs. The solicitation further includes laboratory work such as analyzing returned extraterrestrial samples and terrestrial analog samples that help interpret or validate NASA observations, as well as determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to properly analyze space-based data. On the Earth science side of the ROSES umbrella, it also mentions field campaigns, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied information systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits; the exoplanets element sits within this same overall framework of supporting research and technology.
Funding levels and project scale can vary a lot depending on what is proposed. Smaller, focused efforts like targeted data analysis can be funded at under $100,000 per year, while larger, more complex activities such as building or developing science experiment hardware can exceed $1 million per year. NASA notes that the amount of money available within each specific ROSES program element ranges from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means some elements may only support a handful of projects while others could fund dozens, depending on quality, relevance, and program priorities.
Awards can be made using different instruments: grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and interagency or intraagency transfers. Which instrument is used depends on factors like the nature of the work and the proposing organization. The typical period of performance is four years, although some program elements may specify a shorter or longer timeline, with an overall maximum generally capped at five years.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type. Domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and nonprofit institutions can submit, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA emphasizes a key policy constraint: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations must generally be done on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA typically does not provide funding directly to non-U.S. institutions. The listing also notes that in general NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions, while providing guidance to non-U.S. participants through the NASA Guidebook for Proposers and special instructions in cases where non-U.S. organizations collaborate with U.S. personnel seeking NASA support.
Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, and submission can be done through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or Grants.gov. Any organization intending to apply must be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations submitting through Grants.gov must be registered in both systems. All principal investigators and other project participants (including co-investigators) must also be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA strongly advises applicants to start registration and system familiarization early to avoid last-minute delays.
The ROSES 2014 solicitation is organized into many individual program elements, each with its own specific requirements, points of contact, and due dates. Applicants are directed to the ROSES appendices for detailed instructions and to Tables 2 and 3 for the list of calls and deadlines (Table 2 organized by due date and Table 3 by subject area). NASA also indicates that amendments and additional calls could be released through about February 2015, and encourages interested parties to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to notifications to stay current. For questions about general ROSES policies and procedures, the solicitation points to the SMD research contact, Max Bernstein, via sara@nasa.gov.
Key administrative details from the posting include the Funding Opportunity Number NNH14ZDA001N (XRP), CFDA 43.001 (Science), no cost sharing requirement, and the use of grant or cooperative agreement mechanisms among others. The posting date was February 24, 2014, with an original closing date of March 31, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of May 23, 2014, and an archive date of June 22, 2014.
