Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2015 Heliophysics Infrastructure and Data Environment Enhancements (HIDEE) is a program element under NASA Headquarters' 2015 omnibus Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation, issued as NRA NNH15ZDA001N. In practical terms, it is part of NASA's broader effort to fund both basic and applied research that supports the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), with this particular element emphasizing improvements to heliophysics-related infrastructure and the environments used to manage, access, analyze, and apply science data. Like other ROSES elements, it sits within a large, multi-appendix solicitation that includes many distinct calls, each with its own specifics, due dates, and program officer points of contact.
The scope of ROSES 2015 is intentionally broad and covers research and technology across space and Earth sciences. Work supported can include theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; development and use of investigations on aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles; and advancement of tools and techniques that enable future missions. The umbrella also includes developing concepts for future space missions, building and maturing technologies relevant to SMD objectives, improving laboratory methods for analyzing extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples used to validate mission observations, refining atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based measurements, conducting Earth surface observations and field campaigns tied to SMD science goals, developing integrated Earth system models, and creating applied information systems that translate Earth science results into societal benefit. HIDEE proposals fit into this landscape by focusing on capability-building for heliophysics, particularly around the data environment and supporting infrastructure that make research possible and more effective.
Funding levels vary widely depending on the nature of the proposed work. Smaller, tightly scoped efforts such as focused data analysis activities may come in under $100,000 per year, while large, complex efforts such as developing science experiment hardware can exceed $1 million per year. For each program element, NASA indicates that available funds typically range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which means the number of awards can vary from only a few to potentially several dozen, depending on the element's objectives and the quality and quantity of submitted proposals. Awards are generally structured for a typical four-year period of performance, though some program elements may specify shorter or longer durations, with a stated maximum of five years.
NASA anticipates making awards using several possible mechanisms, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. Which instrument is used depends on the type of organization proposing and any program-specific requirements. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity (CFDA 43.001, Science).
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type: domestic and foreign organizations, governmental and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit institutions may apply, and there is no restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. At the same time, NASA notes a key policy constraint for non-U.S. participation: investigations involving non-U.S. organizations are generally conducted on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA funding typically goes to U.S. institutions. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to the NASA Guidebook for Proposers (Appendix B, Section (l)) and related sections for details, especially when a proposal includes U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative by the due date specified for the relevant program element. Submissions can be made through NSPIRES (NASA's proposal system) or through Grants.gov, but registration requirements apply. Any organization intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES; organizations submitting via Grants.gov must be registered in both Grants.gov and NSPIRES. The registrations must identify the authorized representative(s) who will submit proposals. In addition, all principal investigators and other named participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission pathway. NASA strongly encourages applicants to access these systems well ahead of deadlines to avoid last-minute issues and to become familiar with required data entry and submission steps.
Key dates and administrative details for the HIDEE listing include a posted date of April 23, 2015, an original closing date of May 22, 2015, and a current closing date of July 24, 2015, with the opportunity archived on August 23, 2015. Because ROSES is updated through amendments and may add or modify program elements, applicants were advised to monitor NSPIRES for updates or subscribe to notifications through February 2016, when a subsequent ROSES solicitation was expected. NASA also provided an amendments archive and RSS feed, a dedicated ROSES FAQ page, and directed program-element-specific questions to the program officers listed in the ROSES appendices. General policy and procedure questions were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at sara@nasa.gov.
