The document outlines the procedures and requirements for submitting proposals under the NASA solicitation for research and education support services, emphasizing a Dual Anonymous Peer Review process for impartial evaluation. Proposers must adhere to anonymization guidelines and disclose their institution’s classification, funding sources, and any use of high-end computing resources. Key considerations include compliance with U.S. export control laws, potential environmental impacts, and involvement with international collaborations, particularly with Chinese entities. Proposals will also be evaluated based on their alignment with NASA's strategic objectives, citizen science components, and possible advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Furthermore, the document details reporting expectations for fieldwork, necessary collaborations, and data archiving with the Planetary Data System, ensuring comprehensive adherence to federal regulations. Overall, the aim is to establish clear and thorough evaluation criteria to foster innovative research within NASA's framework while maintaining accountability and operational integrity.

The document outlines a proposal under NASA's Request for Proposals (RFP) focusing on a central research objective, methodologies, and significance related to the agency's interests. The proposal aims to address a specific topic by employing defined research techniques, while ensuring the objectives remain understandable to a nonspecialist audience. The significance of the proposed work emphasizes its relevance to NASA's overarching goals and programs, enhancing their mission capabilities. The document is part of a structured process, detailing various components, including application guidelines and proposal formatting issues, which are essential for compliance with federal grant protocols. The overall purpose is to solicit innovative research contributions that align with NASA's strategic vision.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2024 (ROSES-2024) funding opportunity, specifically titled C.15 Planetary Protection Research (NNH24ZDA001N-PPR). This document outlines essential guidelines for applicants, including requirements for submitting proposals via Grants.gov. It contains necessary forms such as the Proposal Summary and questions specific to the Planetary Protection program. Notably, proposers must submit a Total Budget File with their proposals, even though Grants.gov does not enforce this requirement. There are special instructions for Dual Anonymous Peer Review proposals, stressing that materials should be clearly categorized within the application, with specific forms and statements attached as instructed. Additionally, all members involved in the proposal must be registered in NSPIRES, the NASA proposal submission site. The document emphasizes comprehensive adherence to guidelines, provides reference links for further information, and illustrates the steps needed for successful application submission. This funding opportunity reflects NASA's commitment to advancing space and earth sciences through collaborative research initiatives.
