Opportunity Information: Apply for NNH12ZDA001N LASER

The ROSES 2012 Lunar Advanced Science and Exploration Research opportunity, officially designated NNH12ZDA001N, will open for proposals around February 14, 2012. This call for research, issued by NASA, invites submissions for basic and applied studies across various Earth and space science disciplines, including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science, and Astrophysics.

Proposals can include a wide array of activities such as theoretical work, modeling, analysis of scientific data, development of experimental techniques for future missions, and laboratory analyses of extraterrestrial and terrestrial samples. Funding levels can vary significantly, with awards ranging from under $100,000 for focused projects to over $1 million for larger initiatives. The typical award performance period is four years, with a maximum duration of five years.

Organizations of any type—domestic or foreign, governmental or private—are encouraged to submit proposals, with no restrictions on teaming arrangements. It’s important to note that any investigations involving non-U.S. entities will follow a no-exchange-of-funds policy.

The submission period runs from May 4, 2012, to March 22, 2013. Interested parties should electronically submit Notices of Intent by March 16, 2012, and proposals through the NASA NSPIRES system or Grants.gov. Registration with both systems is necessary for organizations intending to submit proposals. Proposers should also familiarize themselves with the systems well ahead of the deadlines.

For further details, potential applicants can access NASA's Research Opportunities homepage or check for updates on amendments and clarifications relating to the program. Specific inquiries regarding program elements can be directed to designated Program Officers mentioned in the ROSES NRA, while general questions can be addressed to Dr. Max Bernstein at NASA Headquarters.
