Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2014 Solar Irradiance Science Team (SIST) is a funding opportunity under NASA Headquarters' Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2014 omnibus solicitation, issued as NRA NNH14ZDA001N. It supports basic and applied research aligned with NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD), with the SIST element sitting within a broader portfolio that spans heliophysics, Earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics research and the technologies that enable those fields. The solicitation is designed to fund work that improves the scientific return of NASA missions and datasets, strengthens the supporting research community, and advances tools, techniques, and mission concepts relevant to NASA science goals.
The scope is intentionally wide. Proposed work can include theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; investigations using platforms such as aircraft, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles; and the development of new experiment techniques suitable for future space missions. It also covers development of concepts for future SMD missions, maturation of advanced technologies tied to NASA science needs, and laboratory or analytical work on extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples that help validate or interpret Earth-observing mission measurements. Additional eligible topic areas include determining key atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based data and samples, Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD missions, integrated Earth system model development, and applied information systems that translate Earth science research outputs into societal applications. Within that umbrella, the Solar Irradiance Science Team focus is positioned to support research connected to understanding and characterizing solar irradiance and its measurement, interpretation, and use in NASA science, as defined by the specific program-element appendix for SIST.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the nature and scale of the work. The solicitation notes awards can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as data analysis up to more than $1,000,000 per year for large, complex activities such as development of science experiment hardware. The amount available for any given ROSES program element typically ranges from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means NASA may select only a few proposals or several dozen depending on objectives, available funds, and proposal quality. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or interagency/intra-agency transfers, based on the proposing organization and program requirements. A typical period of performance is four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer periods up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broadly open by organization type, including government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, with important conditions. In general, NASA funding is provided to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. organizations may participate, but NASA policy requires that collaborations involving non-U.S. organizations be conducted on a "no exchange of funds" basis, unless a specific jointly issued NRA states otherwise. The solicitation points proposers to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for detailed rules affecting non-U.S. participation, including situations where a non-U.S. organization includes U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Proposals must be submitted electronically, and submission must be made by an authorized organizational representative. Submissions can be made through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, but all organizations intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and those using Grants.gov must be registered in both systems. NSPIRES registration must identify authorized organizational representatives, and all investigators and key participants (including co-investigators) must also be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA strongly encourages teams to start registrations and system familiarization well before the deadline to avoid last-minute access or validation problems.
Key dates and where to find the correct call language are central to navigating ROSES. The ROSES 2014 solicitation includes multiple program elements with different due dates and requirements, which are listed in the solicitation appendices and summarized in Tables 2 and 3 (organized by due date and by subject area, respectively). For this specific opportunity record, the Funding Opportunity Number is NNH14ZDA001N with the program element labeled SIST, and it lists an original and current closing date of November 3, 2014, with an archive date of December 3, 2014. NASA also notes that amendments and new elements can be released over time; proposers were encouraged to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to notifications through February 2015, when a subsequent ROSES solicitation was planned.
For applicant support and interpretation of requirements, NASA directs program-element-specific questions to the Program Officers named in the appendices and on the SARA program officer list. General policy and procedural questions for ROSES are directed to the SMD research leadership contact provided in the announcement (Max Bernstein) via the listed email address. The opportunity is categorized under CFDA 43.001 (Science), does not require cost sharing or matching, and supports science and technology research and development through grants and cooperative agreements (with other instrument types possible depending on circumstances).
