The NASA Headquarters has posted a grant opportunity titled "ROSES 2024: A.17 Atmospheric Composition: Upper Atmospheric Composition Observations". This grant falls under the category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The funding instrument type is a Grant and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The grant is open to eligible applicants, which include individuals affiliated with institutions at nspires.nasaprs.com/. It is important to note that NASA typically provides funding only to U.S. institutions. The grant notice provides additional information on eligibility for organizations outside the U.S.
The grant opportunity is centered around the procurement of upper atmospheric composition observations. Upper atmospheric composition observations are typically used to study and understand the composition of the Earth's upper atmosphere. These observations help in monitoring and analyzing the presence and behavior of various gases and particles in the upper atmosphere, which in turn contribute to our understanding of atmospheric processes, climate change, and the overall health of the Earth's atmosphere.
The grant opportunity is part of the annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) - 2024. This NRA covers a wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD). The grants awarded under this opportunity may take the form of grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposed work and program requirements. However, most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants.
The grant has a close date of September 19, 2024, and the last updated date was February 14, 2024. Proposers are required to submit optional Notices of Intent by July 19, 2024, via NSPIRES.
