The document outlines the requirements and considerations for submitting proposals to NASA within the context of federal grants and RFPs. It emphasizes the classification of proposing organizations—including Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Predominantly Undergraduate-serving Institutions (PUIs)—and the potential need for collaboration with government entities and federal agencies. Furthermore, it addresses the inclusion of NASA-provided high-end computing resources, export-controlled material, and restrictions on collaboration with Chinese organizations.
The document also prompts proposers to assess potential environmental impacts under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Executive Order 12114, with several inquiries regarding activities involving construction, field releases, or international work. Additionally, it highlights the inclusion of citizen science components, the potential use of artificial intelligence or machine learning, and the need to align with NASA’s strategic objectives across multiple divisions.
Overall, this document serves as a comprehensive guideline for applicants to navigate the complexities of the proposal process while ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks and alignment with NASA’s mission objectives.
The document outlines a federal proposal focused on a research initiative related to NASA's interests. The primary objective is to develop methods and techniques that enhance understanding and outcomes in specific scientific areas relevant to NASA's goals. The proposal aims to articulate the significance of this research within the broader context of NASA's programs, emphasizing its potential impact. The document notes procedural guidance for initial steps, including accessing the proposal summary within specific government applications, indicating that the detailed proposal is structured into three explanatory paragraphs, though much of this content is not properly displayed in the format provided. Overall, the proposal pertains to a solicitation by NASA aimed at fostering innovative research aligned with the agency's mission and objectives, highlighting the necessity for clarity in documentation and adherence to structured submission formats.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced its 2024 funding opportunity titled "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences" (ROSES-2024), specifically focusing on the program element "Earth Action: Ecological Conservation Impact Assessment" (A.45). The document serves as guidance for applicants preparing their grant proposals via Grants.gov and includes several key components necessary for submission.
Included in the application package are PDF document templates for project summaries and specific program-related questions. Applicants must also submit a Total Budget File and, if applicable, a High-End Computing request form. Proposals are subject to Dual Anonymous Peer Review; therefore, guidelines on anonymization and team commitment are emphasized.
Registration requirements for both principal investigators (PIs) and associated team members in NASA’s NSPIRES system are outlined, clarifying that individual registrations are essential. Detailed references for further information, including links to solicitation announcements and the NASA Proposer's Guide, are provided for applicants to ensure compliance with submission standards.
This funding opportunity represents NASA’s commitment to supporting ecological research aligned with space and earth sciences, highlighting federal funding's role in advancing scientific understanding and conservation efforts.
