Opportunity Summary:
The ROSES 2015 Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowship opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NNH15ZDA001N) is part of NASA's annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation run by NASA Headquarters for the Science Mission Directorate (SMD). In practical terms, it is a broad umbrella announcement that invites proposals for both basic and applied research and for technology work that directly supports NASA's space science and Earth science missions. The scope is intentionally wide, covering everything from foundational theory and modeling to hands-on development of new instruments, mission concepts, and analysis methods that can be used for current and future NASA investigations.
The solicitation emphasizes research and technology across many platforms and mission types. Proposed work can involve analysis of SMD science data, development and testing of techniques for future missions, and investigations that fly on aircraft, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles. It also includes laboratory work such as analysis of extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft as well as terrestrial samples that help validate or interpret observations from Earth-observing missions. In addition, it supports projects that determine atomic and compositional parameters needed to interpret remote sensing or in situ measurements, field campaigns and surface observations that strengthen mission science, development of integrated Earth system models, and applied systems that translate Earth science research data into societal or operational benefits.
Funding levels and project scale can vary dramatically depending on the specific program element and the ambition of the proposed effort. Smaller, focused projects, such as limited data analysis efforts, may be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large, resource-intensive efforts, such as building and maturing science experiment hardware, can exceed $1 million per year. NASA notes that each program element has its own funding pool, ranging from under $1 million to several million dollars, which typically allows NASA to select anywhere from only a few proposals to several dozen proposals, depending on program goals and the quality and volume of submissions.
Award instruments are flexible and depend on both the proposer and the nature of the work. NASA may make awards as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, or via inter-agency or intra-agency transfers. The usual period of performance is about four years, though some program elements may specify a shorter or longer timeline, with an overall maximum of five years.
Eligibility is broadly open in terms of organizational type: domestic and foreign entities, government and private organizations, for-profit and non-profit organizations can submit, and there is no stated restriction on the number of proposals or teaming arrangements. However, NASA also highlights an important 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 does not typically transfer funds to foreign organizations. The posting further notes that, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions, and non-U.S. organizations need to follow specific guidance in NASA's NRA Guidebook, including special instructions for cases where a non-U.S. proposal involves U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
The application process is fully electronic and must be submitted by an authorized organizational official. Proposals can be submitted through NASA's NSPIRES system or through Grants.gov, but all submitting organizations must be registered in NSPIRES. If submitting via Grants.gov, the organization must be registered in both systems. NSPIRES registration must identify authorized organizational representative(s), and all principal investigators and other participants (such as co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of which submission portal is used. NASA encourages applicants to register and explore the system well before deadlines to avoid last-minute issues.
Because ROSES is an umbrella solicitation, the specific research topics, requirements, and due dates are defined in the appendices and in the tables listing individual calls (Tables 2 and 3 in the ROSES NRA). Applicants are expected to track updates, amendments, clarifications, and corrections through NSPIRES and NASA's ROSES 2015 web archive (including RSS feeds). NASA also points applicants to an FAQ page and to lists of program officers for element-specific questions, while general policy and procedure questions could be directed to the SMD research lead contact listed in the notice.
Key dates and administrative details included in the announcement are that it was posted on August 21, 2015, with an original and current closing date of November 6, 2015, and an archive date of December 6, 2015. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with funding instruments including grants and cooperative agreements, and it falls under CFDA 43.001 (Science). There is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement.
