This document outlines the requirements and procedures for submitting proposals to a NASA program element. Proposers must anonymize their submissions and ensure that only one Principal Investigator (PI) per proposal is designated, committing at least 20% of their time each year to the project. Key components of the proposal include a short title, details about team members not confirmed via NSPIRES, research regime, science topic selection, and confirmation of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) tools. Proposers are also asked to suggest five qualified reviewers, who must not be associated with the PI or Co-Investigators (Co-Is), and to specify the focused science topics relevant to their investigation. This structured approach ensures thorough peer evaluation and adherence to NASA’s research and educational support objectives.

The proposal outlined in the federal document relates to a solicitation by NASA and emphasizes the need for a detailed description that is accessible to non-specialists. It highlights key objectives of the research, focusing on advancing NASA's goals in technology and space exploration. The proposal emphasizes its methodology in achieving these objectives through a structured approach, which is essential for successful research outcomes. The significance of this work is tied to its relevance to NASA's ongoing projects and broader interests, ensuring that it aligns with established priorities. The document also points out an issue with the format of the proposal summary and mentions that the original document provides three distinct paragraphs, which should ideally be followed in presenting the summary. Overall, this section underscores the importance of clarity and organization in competitive submissions within federal grant opportunities.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2024 (ROSES-2024) program, designated under funding opportunity number NNH24ZDA001N. This program offers critical funding for projects focused on space and earth sciences, specifically under the Living with a Star Science program element (NNH24ZDA001N-LWS). The attached documents in the provided zip file include essential instructions for applications, proposal summary formats, and forms specific to the Living with a Star Science program. Proposals must adhere to specific submission formats as outlined for Grants.gov and NSPIRES, avoiding duplication of content. Key requirements include submission of a Total Budget File and letters of commitment from team members. All proposing team members must also register in NSPIRES, with grants requiring unique PDF documents or a single assembled document depending on the submission protocol. This announcement serves as a guide for potential applicants, ensuring compliance with NASA's funding and submission processes while fostering innovative proposals in the space and earth sciences domain.
