Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2015 Lunar Data Analysis Program (LDAP) is a NASA Headquarters funding opportunity issued under the broader Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2015 solicitation (NRA number NNH15ZDA001N). Through this call, NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) seeks proposals for basic and applied research that advances NASA science goals, with LDAP positioned as one of the program elements within the larger ROSES umbrella. While the LDAP title points to lunar data analysis, the overall ROSES framework explicitly spans a wide range of research and technology areas tied to NASA space and Earth science missions, including theoretical and computational work, modeling, and analysis of science data from NASA-supported platforms and missions.
The solicitation emphasizes research that can make direct use of existing NASA science data and resources, as well as work that strengthens the scientific and technical foundations needed for future missions. Activities described as in-scope across ROSES include analysis of SMD science data; investigations using aircraft, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles; development of experimental techniques and mission concepts; and development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions. It also highlights laboratory studies and analytical methods for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft and terrestrial samples used to validate or interpret NASA Earth observations, along with efforts to determine atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret space-based measurements and returned samples. For Earth science, the scope also extends to field campaigns, Earth surface observations that support NASA missions, integrated Earth system modeling, and applied information systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits.
Funding levels vary widely based on the type and scale of work proposed. NASA notes that awards can range from under $100,000 per year for narrowly focused efforts such as data analysis, to more than $1 million per year for large, complex activities such as developing science experiment hardware. The total funding available differs by program element and can range from less than $1 million to several million dollars, which in practice means each element may fund only a handful of projects or, in some cases, several dozen, depending on proposal quality, program priorities, and the size of requested budgets. The typical award period is four years, though some elements may allow shorter or longer periods, with a stated maximum of five years.
Multiple award mechanisms may be used depending on the proposer and the nature of the work, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. Eligibility is broad in organizational type: domestic and foreign organizations, government and private entities, for-profit and non-profit institutions may submit proposals, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA generally funds only U.S. institutions, and participation by non-U.S. organizations is normally expected to be conducted under NASA's "no exchange of funds" policy (meaning NASA funds are not provided to the non-U.S. partner). The solicitation points non-U.S. proposers to specific guidance in the NASA Guidebook for Proposers for details and special cases.
Proposals must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, using either NASA's NSPIRES system or Grants.gov, with required registrations in place well before the deadline. Every organization intending to submit must be registered in NSPIRES, and organizations using Grants.gov must be registered there as well. All principal investigators and other named participants must also be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission pathway. The solicitation directs applicants to the ROSES appendices and the program tables for the specific program element details, due dates, and points of contact, and it encourages monitoring NSPIRES and NASA's ROSES 2015 web pages for amendments, clarifications, and newly added elements through February 2016.
For this specific posted opportunity record, the funding opportunity number is NNH15ZDA001N with the LDAP label, categorized as discretionary and focused on science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 43.001). It states no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date is August 18, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2015, and an archive date of September 27, 2015. General policy and procedure questions are routed to the SMD research contact (listed as Max Bernstein via sara@nasa.gov), while program-element-specific questions are directed to the individual program officers identified in the ROSES appendices.
