    This document outlines the guidelines for early career researchers applying for NASA's Research and Education Support Services program via the Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES). It specifies that each early career researcher may only serve as Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Investigator (Co-I) on one proposal and must dedicate at least 50% of their time to the project. The proposal structure requires a clearly defined role for each team member, with a maximum of two early career Co-Is allowed. Collaborators aside from a mentor are prohibited. Additional submission details include providing the year of Ph.D. conferral, a list of team members not confirmed via NSPIRES, science topic selection, the use of artificial intelligence or machine-learning, and names of potential reviewers not affiliated with the PI. The focus area mentioned is related to the solar interior, underlining the program's emphasis on collaborative research in specific scientific domains, relevant to NASA's educational and research initiatives.
    The document outlines a proposal associated with NASA's solicitation numbered NNH06ASD002N, focusing on the central objectives meant to facilitate research and development in the aerospace sector. The proposal is intended to address key research questions using specified methods and techniques that are suitable for achieving the outlined goals. The significance of the research aligns with NASA's broader interests, aiming to enhance aerospace capabilities and drive innovations in technology. The referenced proposal also indicates an issue with how it is presented on the internal platform, requiring clarification as to why a single paragraph displays instead of the intended three paragraphs. Overall, the document reflects the structure of federal grant proposals, emphasizing clear objectives, methodologies, and relevance to national interests in space exploration initiatives.
    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued an Omnibus Funding Opportunity titled "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2024" (ROSES-2024). This document outlines the requirements and instructions for applying to the program element B.12 Heliophysics Data Environment Enhancements (HDEE). Applicants are advised to read the full document prior to preparing their proposals, which must be submitted in PDF format via Grants.gov. The accompanying zip file includes essential resources, such as instructions, writable forms for project summaries and HDEE-specific questions, and reminders about budget file submissions. Special considerations for proposals under Dual Anonymous Peer Review (DAPR) are highlighted, emphasizing the need for anonymization where required. Additional guidelines include team member commitment documentations, mandatory NSPIRES registration for all proposing team members, and links to relevant resources for completing applications. This funding opportunity aims to enhance research and data handling capabilities in heliophysics, indicating NASA's commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and technology within this domain.
