Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2015 Hayabusa2 Participating Scientist (Funding Opportunity Number NNH15ZDA001N, element tag HAYB2) is a NASA Headquarters research solicitation released under the broader ROSES 2015 umbrella. It supports NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) goals by funding basic and applied research and related technology work, with this particular call positioned as a participating-scientist opportunity tied to the Hayabusa2 mission context within ROSES. In practical terms, it sits inside NASA's annual omnibus research announcement that funds a wide range of space and Earth science investigations, from scientific analysis and modeling to laboratory techniques and mission-relevant technology development, depending on the specific program element requirements described in the ROSES appendices.
The scope described for ROSES 2015 is intentionally broad and includes theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; development and use of experiment platforms such as aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and other suborbital vehicles; development of new experiment techniques suited to future space missions; and work on concepts and advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions. It also covers laboratory analysis methods for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples used to validate or support Earth-observing missions, plus supporting atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based observations and returned samples. On the Earth science side, the umbrella solicitation mentions field campaigns, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied information systems that translate research data into societal benefits. The exact expectations for the Hayabusa2 Participating Scientist element would be governed by the specific appendix entry for HAYB2, but it is clearly offered within this larger framework of mission-supporting research and analysis.
Funding levels vary widely across ROSES elements. NASA notes that awards can be under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts like data analysis, and can exceed $1 million per year for larger activities such as hardware or extensive development work. The amount available for any given program element typically ranges from under $1 million to several million dollars total, allowing NASA to select anywhere from a few proposals to several dozen, depending on program priorities and the number of high-quality submissions. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or inter- or intra-agency transfers, with the instrument choice depending on the proposing organization and the nature of the work. A typical period of performance is about four years, though some elements may be shorter or longer, up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization types: government and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit institutions, domestic and foreign organizations can submit, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. That said, NASA generally funds U.S. institutions, and non-U.S. participation is usually handled under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy, meaning international organizations participate without NASA transferring funds to them. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to specific guidance in NASA's Guidebook for Proposers (notably Appendix B and relevant sections) for situations such as collaborations that include U.S. personnel requesting NASA support.
Submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized organizational representative. Proposals can be submitted through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, but all organizations intending to apply must be registered in NSPIRES, and those submitting via Grants.gov must be registered in both systems. All principal investigators and co-investigators must also be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. NASA emphasizes starting registrations early to avoid last-minute issues and to become familiar with system requirements. Program-specific details, including names of elements, due dates, and links, are provided in ROSES Tables 2 and 3 and the appendices, and NASA encourages proposers to monitor NSPIRES for amendments and new elements that may be released through about February 2016.
Key administrative details for this opportunity include a posted date of February 27, 2015, an original closing date of March 13, 2015, and a current closing date of October 5, 2015 (with an archive date of November 4, 2015). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with funding instruments listed as grant and cooperative agreement, and it falls under CFDA 43.001 (Science). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. For help with general ROSES policies and procedures, NASA points to the SMD research contact (Max Bernstein) and the ROSES web resources for amendments, FAQs, and program officer contacts tied to each specific appendix element.
