ROSES 2014 Heliophysics Infrastructure and Data Environment Enhancements | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

ROSES 2014 Heliophysics Infrastructure and Data Environment Enhancements (HIDEE) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader ROSES 2014 umbrella NRA (Funding Opportunity Number NNH14ZDA001N). It supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate by inviting proposals for basic and applied research and, importantly for this element, improvements that strengthen the heliophysics research infrastructure and the data environment scientists rely on. While HIDEE sits within heliophysics, the ROSES 2014 solicitation as a whole spans a wide range of space and Earth science research and technology activities, including theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; suborbital and space-based investigations using aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and related platforms; development of techniques and technologies that enable future missions; laboratory and analytical work tied to returned samples and Earth science validation; and applied information systems that make research data more usable for science and societal applications. In practice, HIDEE proposals are expected to emphasize tangible enhancements to data systems, tools, services, and other enabling capabilities that improve access, usability, stewardship, and scientific return from heliophysics data holdings and related infrastructure.

The solicitation allows a wide range of project sizes and scopes. Typical budgets can be under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts like targeted data analyses or smaller improvements, and can exceed $1 million per year for larger-scale activities such as development of substantial capabilities or hardware-related efforts in other program elements under ROSES. NASA notes that available funding varies by individual program element, generally ranging from less than $1 million to several million dollars per element, which means the agency may select anywhere from just a few to several dozen proposals depending on priorities, the quality of submissions, and the specific objectives of each element. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or as inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on what best fits the proposer and the work being proposed. The typical performance period is four years, though some elements may specify shorter timelines, and the maximum period is generally five years.

Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign organizations, governmental or private, for-profit or nonprofit, may submit proposals, with no stated restriction on the number of submissions or teaming arrangements. However, NASA's funding policy is a key constraint for non-US participation: collaborations involving non-US organizations are generally handled on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA typically does not transfer funds to non-US institutions. Non-US proposers are directed to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including Appendix B and other cited sections) for the detailed rules, especially in situations where a non-US organization proposes work that involves US personnel who would be supported by NASA.

Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, using either NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or Grants.gov. Registration requirements are emphasized: every proposing organization must be registered in NSPIRES, and if submitting through Grants.gov the organization must be registered there as well. All investigators and participants, including principal investigators and co-investigators, must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA encourages teams to start registration and system familiarization well ahead of the deadline to avoid administrative issues that could prevent submission.

Key administrative details for this specific posting include a Posted Date of May 2, 2014, an Original Closing Date of May 23, 2014, and a Current Closing Date of July 24, 2014, with an Archive Date of August 23, 2014. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with funding instruments listed as grants and cooperative agreements, and it falls under CFDA 43.001 (Science). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Because ROSES is organized into many individual program elements with their own instructions and due dates, NASA directs applicants to the ROSES 2014 appendices for element-specific requirements and to Tables 2 and 3 (organized by due date and by subject area) for the exact calls and timelines. NASA also notes that amendments and updates could be released through February 2015, and points applicants to NSPIRES and NASA's ROSES web pages (including an amendments archive/RSS feed) to track changes. For questions about overall ROSES policies and procedures, the solicitation identifies Dr. Max Bernstein (SMD, Lead for Research) as the general point of contact, while element-specific questions are intended for the relevant Program Officers listed in the appendices.
