Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2015 Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction (MAP), Funding Opportunity Number NNH15ZDA001N, is a NASA Headquarters solicitation under the agency's long-running Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) omnibus announcement. The opportunity is designed to fund a wide range of basic and applied research that supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD). In practical terms, it is a broad umbrella call that includes the modeling, analysis, and interpretation of NASA science data, along with related research and technology work that strengthens current missions and helps mature capabilities for future missions across both space science and Earth science.
The scope is intentionally expansive. NASA indicates interest in theory, modeling, and analysis tied to SMD data; investigations using aircraft, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles; and the development of experimental techniques that could be used on future NASA missions. It also covers the development of concepts for future space missions, advanced technologies relevant to SMD goals, and laboratory and analytical work on samples. That includes extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as Earth-based samples that help validate or interpret measurements from Earth-observing missions. Additional areas called out include determining atomic and compositional parameters needed to analyze spaceflight data and returned samples, conducting Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD objectives, building integrated Earth system models, and creating systems that translate Earth science research data into societally useful applications and applied information products aligned with NASA data and mission goals.
Funding levels vary widely based on the nature of the work and the specific program element within ROSES. NASA notes that some awards may be under $100,000 per year for narrower, focused efforts such as targeted data analysis, while large, complex activities like developing science experiment hardware can exceed $1 million per year. Each individual program element offered within ROSES has its own available funding range, typically from less than $1 million to several million dollars total, which means the number of awards can range from only a few selections to several dozen depending on program priorities and the quality and volume of submitted proposals. The announcement also makes clear that awards may take multiple legal forms, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the proposing organization and program requirements.
The typical period of performance is four years, with some elements allowing shorter or longer projects up to a maximum of five years. Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type: domestic and foreign, government and private, for-profit and nonprofit entities may apply, and there are no stated limits on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA policy generally funds U.S. institutions, and non-U.S. organizations typically participate under a "no exchange of funds" arrangement, meaning NASA does not transfer money to the foreign entity; special instructions for non-U.S. participation are referenced in the NASA Guidebook for Proposers and in any jointly issued international calls.
Applications must be submitted electronically by an authorized organizational representative, using either NASA's NSPIRES system or Grants.gov. All submitting organizations must be registered in NSPIRES, and those submitting via Grants.gov must be registered in both systems. NASA also requires that all investigators and participants, including principal investigators and co-investigators, be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. Because ROSES is structured as an umbrella solicitation with many individual program elements, applicants are expected to consult the Appendices for element-specific requirements, and to use the ROSES tables that list the individual calls, due dates, and links.
Key dates for this particular posting include a posted date of March 3, 2015, and a closing date of May 14, 2015, with an archive date of June 13, 2015. NASA also emphasized that ROSES can be amended over time, and encouraged applicants to monitor NSPIRES and the ROSES 2015 web archive (including RSS updates) for clarifications, corrections, and new or modified program elements through February 2016, when the next ROSES solicitation was planned. For policy and procedural questions, the announcement points to the SMD research contact (Max Bernstein) and directs technical or element-specific questions to the program officers listed in the relevant Appendix sections.
