    This document outlines specific considerations and requirements for proposals submitted to NASA related to research and education support services. Key areas covered include the classification of institutions involved, such as Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs). It emphasizes the need for proposers to identify any funding provided to federal organizations, assess the need for high-end computing resources, and determine if export-controlled information is included. Proposals must also provide information on NEPA compliance, addressing potential environmental impacts, and whether any international collaboration occurs, particularly with Chinese entities. Furthermore, the document delves into citizen science and the strategic relevance of proposals across different NASA science divisions. Proposers are encouraged to indicate if their work poses high intellectual risk but also has high potential impact. The document concludes with guidance on relevant focus areas and the vendor being proposed for evaluation, specifically highlighting connection to Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems. The content is structured to facilitate dual anonymous peer review while ensuring compliance with NASA directives and federal regulations.
    The document pertains to a government proposal related to a solicitation by NASA (NNH06ASD002N). Its primary objective is to succinctly describe a research proposal in layman's terms, outlining key goals, methodologies, and potential significance to NASA's interests. The proposal aims to provide a clear understanding of its central objectives, specific methods to achieve those objectives, and the broader implications for NASA programs. The document mentions the mismatch in the presentation of the proposal summary, highlighting that the content is currently consolidated into one paragraph instead of the intended three. It indicates that this information is accessible through various segments of the application system and introduces the identifier for the attached original proposal, which maintains the appropriate structure. The emphasis on a detailed yet concise presentation reflects the government’s push for clarity and structured communication in funding applications, particularly in scientific research contexts.
    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released the "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2023" (ROSES-2023) under the funding opportunity number NNH23ZDA001N, specifically focusing on the program element A.51 for Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition. This document serves as guidance for applicants preparing grant applications through Grants.gov, emphasizing the importance of submitting only PDF format documents. Key components include several essential forms like the Proposal Summary PDF and CNVOE23_PSD PDF, which outline project summaries and specific program-related questions. Proposers must also submit a "Total Budget File" with their full proposals. Special instructions exist for Dual Anonymous Peer Review applications, outlining what information should be anonymized. Additionally, applicants are reminded of the need for team member commitment letters and the requirement for team members to register in NSPIRES, a NASA system. The document includes references for further details on submissions and guidelines, reinforcing the necessity for compliance with all submission requirements to secure funding successfully. This funding opportunity aims to advance research in space and earth sciences through innovative small satellite data utilization.
