Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2014 K2 Guest Observer Cycle 1 is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity released under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2014 umbrella solicitation (NRA number NNH14ZDA001N; program element identifier shown as NNH14ZDA001N K2GO1). It is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) research portfolio and is intended to support basic and applied research that advances NASA science goals. While this specific element is labeled for the K2 Guest Observer program (Cycle 1), it sits within a solicitation that spans a wide range of space and Earth science research and enabling technology, from pure data analysis and theory work to the development of tools, methods, and, in some cases, hardware that supports current and future missions.
The opportunity funds work across many possible research modes and settings. Examples called out in the ROSES description include theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; investigations that use aircraft, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles; development of new experimental techniques and mission concepts for future SMD space missions; and development of advanced technologies relevant to those missions. It also includes laboratory and analytical work connected to samples, such as analysis of extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples used to validate or support Earth observations. Additional examples include determining atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space data and samples, conducting Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support NASA missions, building integrated Earth system models, and creating applied information systems that translate Earth science research results and datasets into societal benefits. In practical terms, the solicitation is designed to cover everything from targeted, investigator-led science projects to larger, multi-year efforts that build capabilities NASA needs for mission science.
Funding levels and award size vary widely depending on the type of work proposed and the specific program element objectives. The ROSES 2014 description states that awards can be under $100,000 per year for narrow, focused efforts such as data analysis, and can exceed $1 million per year for more extensive activities such as developing science experiment hardware. For each program element, the total available funding may range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, meaning NASA might select only a handful of proposals in some areas or several dozen in others, depending on priorities and the number of high-quality submissions.
NASA notes that it may issue awards using several different instruments depending on the proposer and the work being funded, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The typical performance period is four years, though some elements may allow shorter or longer timelines, up to a maximum of five years. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated for this opportunity.
Eligibility is broad in principle: organizations of many types may submit, including government and private entities, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and both domestic and foreign institutions, with no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA emphasizes a key policy constraint for non-U.S. participants: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a no exchange of funds basis, and proposers should consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (including the sections referenced in the announcement) for the detailed rules and special cases, such as situations involving U.S. personnel support within proposals led by non-U.S. organizations. The eligibility section also highlights that proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES and that, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions, with the no-exchange-of-funds policy guiding foreign participation unless specific joint arrangements apply.
Submission is electronic and tied to the due dates for the specific program element. Proposals must be submitted by an authorized organizational representative and can be routed either through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, although registration requirements apply in both cases. Any organization intending to apply must be registered in NSPIRES, and if applying via Grants.gov, it must be registered in Grants.gov in addition to NSPIRES. All principal investigators and other named participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. NASA strongly advises applicants to complete registrations early and to become familiar with the electronic systems well before the deadline to avoid last-minute access or submission problems.
Key administrative details for this specific posting include a posted date of July 8, 2014, an original closing date of August 8, 2014, and a revised current closing date of September 23, 2014, with an archive date of October 23, 2014. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, with CFDA 43.001 (Science). NASA points applicants to the ROSES 2014 tables that list individual calls, topics, and deadlines (Table 2 organized by due date and Table 3 organized by subject area), and recommends monitoring NSPIRES for amendments and new elements through February 2015. For program-element-specific questions, NASA directs applicants to the Program Officers listed in the appendices for each element, while general ROSES policy and procedure questions are directed to Dr. Max Bernstein (Lead for Research, SMD) via sara@nasa.gov.
