This document outlines a proposal submission process for NASA research funding, detailing requirements and classifications for institutions applying for grants. It emphasizes the need for compliance with federal regulations, including export control laws and environmental assessments under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Institutions must indicate their classification, such as Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) or Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUI), and whether any funding will go to federal organizations.
The proposal also requires detail on high-end computing requests, potential collaborations with international entities (especially noted restrictions regarding China), and the use of citizen science or artificial intelligence. The document specifies that proposed research activities involving construction, environmental impact, or hazardous materials must be disclosed to assess NEPA compliance. Additionally, applicants are encouraged to submit potential reviewer information post-proposal submission. Overall, the proposal process aims to ensure that NASA selects projects aligning with its strategic goals while adhering to regulatory standards.
