Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2015 K2 Guest Observer Cycle 3 (Funding Opportunity Number NNH15ZDA001N, element K2GO3) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader ROSES 2015 NASA Research Announcement. It supports basic and applied research aligned with NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD), with this element focusing on research activities that make scientific use of mission data and capabilities, consistent with the guest observer model. Overall, the ROSES umbrella is meant to fund a wide span of space and Earth science research and technology work, including theory, modeling, and analysis of NASA science data; investigations using platforms such as aircraft, balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles; development of new experiment techniques and advanced technologies for future missions; laboratory analysis methods for extraterrestrial returned samples and related terrestrial analog samples; measurement and determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret data and samples; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that strengthen NASA Earth system science; integrated Earth system model development; and applied systems that translate Earth science data into societal and operational benefits.
Funding levels are flexible and tied to the scope of work. Smaller, tightly scoped efforts like data analysis can be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large, complex efforts such as developing science experiment hardware can exceed $1,000,000 per year. The amount available varies by program element, typically ranging from less than $1 million to several million dollars, enabling NASA to select anywhere from a handful to several dozen awards depending on the goals of the element and the quality and volume of submissions. Awards may be issued as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or as inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the proposing organization and what the work requires. Periods of performance are generally four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer timelines, up to a maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broad in principle: organizations of many types may apply, including government and private entities, for-profit and non-profit institutions, and domestic or foreign organizations, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. In practice, NASA funding is generally provided to U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is typically allowed only on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA does not transfer funding to the non-U.S. entity. Non-U.S. proposers are directed to consult the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for specific rules, and there may be special guidance when an NRA is jointly issued with a non-U.S. organization (which can happen for guest observing programs tied to jointly sponsored missions). Proposers must be affiliated with an institution registered in NSPIRES, and all principal investigators and other named participants (including co-investigators) must have NSPIRES registrations.
Submission is electronic only, and proposals must be submitted by an authorized organizational representative by the due date for the specific program element. Applicants may submit through NSPIRES or through Grants.gov, but either route requires NSPIRES registration; Grants.gov submissions additionally require Grants.gov registration. NASA emphasizes starting registration and system familiarization early to avoid administrative issues near the deadline. Program specifics, including the detailed requirements for each element, are contained in the ROSES appendices, with names, links, and due dates listed in the ROSES tables for the year. NASA also notes that ROSES can be amended over time, so proposers are encouraged to monitor NSPIRES or subscribe to its notification system, and to check the ROSES 2015 web archive and FAQ pages for updates, clarifications, and corrections.
For this specific posting, the opportunity was categorized as discretionary and supports science and technology research and development. The expected number of awards listed for this element is 1, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and the CFDA number is 43.001 (Science). Key dates shown include a posted date of April 2, 2015, an original closing date of June 2, 2015, a revised/current closing date of July 1, 2015, and an archive date of July 31, 2015. General questions about ROSES policies and procedures were directed to Dr. Max Bernstein at sara@nasa.gov, while element-specific questions are typically handled by the program officers identified in the ROSES appendices and NASA's program officer listings.
