This document outlines the proposal submission process for federally funded research and development projects, specifically under NASA funding. It includes sections that require information on the proposing institution's classification (e.g., Minority-Serving Institutions), collaboration with federal agencies, and the use of NASA high-end computing resources. Key inquiries involve potential export-controlled materials, collaboration with Chinese organizations, and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The proposal must cover various technical requirements, including the use of advanced technologies like AI and ML, as well as planned involvement across multiple NASA science divisions. Essential details include the need for a fieldwork plan, equipment requests, and archiving data with the Planetary Data System (PDS). Information on the primary instrument class and previous technology developments via other NASA funding is also requested. This document serves as a structured guide for applicants to ensure comprehensive and compliant proposals catering to NASA’s research objectives while highlighting environmental considerations and international collaboration restrictions. It establishes a framework for assessing technical merit and alignment with broader NASA goals.

The document outlines procedural requirements for submitting a proposal related to NASA's Research and Education Support Services, specifically for projects involving dust and regolith. It specifies that any team members not confirmed via the NSPIRES platform must be listed, along with their roles and a commitment statement. Additionally, the proposal must include names and contact details of five independent reviewers and specify any individuals to exclude from the review process, providing justifications for their exclusion. Further, it requires disclosures on the entry and anticipated exit Technology Readiness Levels, as well as identifying the primary instrument class involved. These elements collectively ensure a structured approach to project proposals, facilitating assessment and grant allocation within NASA's research framework.

The document outlines a proposal related to a NASA solicitation, specifying the need for a clear summary that combines key objectives, proposed methods, and the significance of the work. Although the proposal was initially formatted as one paragraph, it consists of three essential segments: an overview of the proposal's central aims in layman’s terms, a description of the methodologies intended to achieve the research goals, and an assessment of the proposal’s relevance to NASA’s priorities. The proposal is identified by multiple reference numbers, including the application number, solicitation number, and a specific response structure designation. This information shows an adherence to a structured approach necessary for federal proposals. The primary purpose of the document is to inform the process of submitting a well-organized and clear proposal for funding, emphasizing the importance of aligning with NASA’s interests and broader objectives.

The NASA Omnibus Funding Opportunity titled "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2024" (ROSES-2024) invites grant applications under the Discovery Data Analysis Program (DDAP). The document outlines essential instructions for submitting proposals through Grants.gov, emphasizing the submission of PDF formats only. Key components included are specific forms such as ProposalSummary.pdf and DDAP24_PSD.pdf for project summaries and program-specific questions. Proposers must also submit a “Total Budget File” as a mandatory part of their applications. The document addresses submission requirements concerning both Grants.gov and NSPIRES, including issues of content duplication and team member commitments, particularly for proposals undergoing Dual Anonymous Peer Review (DAPR). Detailed registration processes for both individuals and organizations in NSPIRES are also highlighted. The overall aim is to assure compliance with the grant application process while encouraging innovative proposals in space and Earth sciences by providing clear guidelines and necessary resources for applicants.
