Opportunity Summary:
ROSES 2016: Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction (Funding Opportunity Number NNH16ZDA001N) is part of NASA's omnibus Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation run by the Science Mission Directorate (SMD). The core aim is to fund both basic and applied research that strengthens NASA's space science and Earth science missions, with a strong emphasis on modeling, analysis, prediction, and the broader research and technology work that makes mission science possible. Rather than being a single narrowly defined call, ROSES functions like a large umbrella solicitation made up of many individual program elements, each with its own objectives, requirements, and due dates described in the ROSES appendices and tables.
The scope is intentionally broad and covers a wide range of supporting research and development tied to SMD priorities. That includes theory and computational modeling; analysis and interpretation of NASA science data; and work connected to investigations on platforms such as aircraft, scientific balloons, sounding rockets, the International Space Station, CubeSats, and suborbital reusable launch vehicles. It also includes development of experimental techniques and instrument or measurement approaches suitable for future missions, as well as early-stage concepts for future SMD missions and advanced technologies that improve mission capability or science return.
A notable component of the solicitation is support for sample and laboratory work that underpins NASA observations. This includes techniques and laboratory analyses for extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, along with terrestrial samples used to validate or interpret observations relevant to Earth system science. The opportunity also highlights the determination of atomic and compositional parameters needed to analyze space-based measurements and returned samples, and it supports Earth surface observations and field campaigns that directly complement NASA Earth science missions. On the modeling and applications side, ROSES 2016 also calls for development of integrated Earth system models and for systems that translate Earth science research data into societal benefits, including applied information systems aligned with SMD objectives and datasets.
Funding levels vary widely based on the specific program element and the scale of the proposed work. Smaller, targeted projects such as limited data analysis efforts may be funded at under $100,000 per year, while large, complex activities like developing specialized scientific experimental hardware can exceed $1 million per year. The amount available within each program element ranges from less than one million dollars to several million dollars total, which typically means NASA may fund anywhere from only a few awards to several dozen, depending on program goals and the quality and volume of proposals received.
NASA indicates that awards may be issued through several mechanisms, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers. The specific instrument depends on the nature of the work, the proposing organization, and any programmatic requirements. The typical period of performance is three years, although some program elements allow up to five years and others may require shorter durations, again depending on the particular call.
Eligibility is broad and open to organizations of essentially every type: U.S. and non-U.S., governmental and private, for-profit and non-profit. Teaming arrangements are not restricted. One key policy point is that collaborations involving non-U.S. organizations must be conducted on a "no exchange of funds" basis, meaning NASA does not provide funding to the non-U.S. partner even if they participate in the work.
Submission is electronic and must be made by an authorized official of the proposing organization by the relevant due date for the specific program element being targeted. Proposals can be submitted through NASA's NSPIRES system or through Grants.gov, but NSPIRES registration is required for all proposers regardless of which submission portal is used. If submitting via Grants.gov, the organization must be registered there as well. The registration must identify the authorized organizational representatives who are permitted to submit proposals, and all investigators and participants (including co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES. NASA strongly encourages organizations and investigators to complete registrations and become familiar with the systems well before deadlines to avoid submission issues.
Because ROSES is amended over time as NASA adds elements, clarifies requirements, or corrects details, prospective applicants are encouraged to monitor NSPIRES and/or subscribe to NASA's electronic notifications for updates through February 2017, when a subsequent ROSES solicitation was planned. NASA also provides an amendments archive (with RSS), an FAQ page for ROSES 2016, and points of contact: specific program element questions go to the listed Program Officers in the appendices, while general policy and procedural questions can be directed to the SMD research contact (Max Bernstein) via sara@nasa.gov. The posting indicates a closing date of June 17, 2016 for this particular opportunity listing, but in practice applicants need to rely on the individual program element due dates shown in ROSES tables and appendices, since those vary across the solicitation.
