Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2014 Heliophysics Supporting Research (Funding Opportunity Number NNH14ZDA001N HSR) is a NASA Headquarters solicitation under the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2014 omnibus NASA Research Announcement. Its purpose is to fund basic and applied research that supports NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) priorities, with a particular focus here on heliophysics supporting research while also sitting within the broader ROSES framework that spans space and Earth science supporting work. The opportunity is designed to cover a wide range of research and technology activities that help NASA interpret current mission data, improve scientific methods, mature new measurement concepts, and advance capabilities needed for future missions.
The scope is intentionally broad. NASA invites proposals for theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; development and use of suborbital and related research platforms (including aircraft, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles); and the development of experimental techniques appropriate for future space missions. It also includes early-stage mission concept development and the creation or maturation of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions. On the laboratory and measurement side, the solicitation supports techniques for analyzing extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as analysis of terrestrial samples that help validate or interpret Earth-observing mission results. It further mentions work to determine atomic and compositional parameters needed to analyze space-based observations and returned samples, along with Earth surface observations and field campaigns that directly support SMD science objectives. For Earth system science applications within ROSES, it also highlights integrated Earth system model development and systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits, including applied information systems aligned with SMD objectives and datasets.
Funding levels and project size can vary substantially depending on the program element and the nature of the work. Smaller, focused efforts (for example, a limited data analysis project) may be funded at under 100,000 dollars per year, while large, complex activities (such as development of science experiment hardware) can exceed 1 million dollars per year. The funding available within each individual ROSES program element is described as ranging from less than one million to several million dollars total, which means NASA may select only a handful of awards in some elements or several dozen in others, depending on program goals and the quality and volume of submissions.
NASA indicates that awards may be made through multiple mechanisms, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The instrument used depends on the proposing organization and the specific program requirements. The typical period of performance is four years, though some elements may allow shorter or longer durations, 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 non-profit institutions may submit proposals, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, the announcement emphasizes NASA policy regarding foreign participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a "no exchange of funds" basis, and in general NASA funding is provided only to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. participants are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including the cited appendix and sections) for the detailed rules, especially in cases where a non-U.S. organization proposes activities that include U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Submission is electronic and must be completed by an authorized organizational representative by the due date associated with the specific program element. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES (NASA Proposal Submission and Evaluation System) or through Grants.gov, but in all cases the organization must be registered in NSPIRES. If submitting via Grants.gov, the organization must also be registered there. The solicitation also requires that all principal investigators and other named participants such as co-investigators be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. Applicants are encouraged to register and explore the submission systems well in advance to avoid last-minute issues.
Because ROSES is organized into many separate program elements, the practical details that matter most to applicants (specific topics, program officer contacts, and deadlines) are located in the ROSES appendices and in the summary tables. The announcement points applicants to Table 2 (organized by due date) and Table 3 (organized by subject area) for the individual calls that make up ROSES 2014, and it advises proposers to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to notifications for amendments and new elements released through February 2015. For questions about general ROSES policies and procedures, the opportunity lists Max Bernstein, Lead for Research in SMD, as the point of contact via sara@nasa.gov.
Key administrative details provided in the listing include the posting date of April 8, 2014; an original closing date of May 15, 2014; and a current closing date of October 30, 2014 (with an archive date of November 29, 2014). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, supports science and technology and other research and development, and lists CFDA 43.001 (Science). No cost sharing or matching is required.
