The NASA Headquarters has posted a grant opportunity titled "ROSES 2024: D.13 Astrophysics Pioneers". This grant falls under the category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The funding instrument type for this grant is a Grant. The grant does not require any cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is open to eligible applicants, which include individuals and organizations affiliated with institutions at nspires.nasaprs.com/. However, NASA generally provides funding only to U.S. institutions. The grant notice provides additional information on eligibility for organizations outside the U.S.
The grant notice states that this program has MANDATORY Notices of Intent, which are due via NSPIRES by January 24, 2025. Proposers must retrieve the instructions document associated with the application package for this opportunity as there is at least one required form that must be attached to the submitted proposal package. The grant notice explains that the annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) - 2024, has been released by the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This NRA consists of many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. The grant notice mentions that awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. However, most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants, and contracts are generally excluded.
The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. The grant notice states that organizations of every type, government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. The grant notice provides tables listing the program elements and due dates, as well as a summary of proposal contents.
