This document outlines NASA’s proposal submission process, including eligibility criteria and necessary disclosures related to federal research activities. It details classifications for proposing institutions, such as Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Predominantly Undergraduate-serving Institutions (PUIs). The form requires information on whether the proposal entails federal funding, particularly from NASA or related organizations. Additionally, it addresses the use of high-end computing resources and compliance with U.S. export control laws, specifically regarding collaborations with Chinese entities.
The document emphasizes the importance of environmental considerations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and outlines questions that ascertain if proposed activities may require further environmental analysis. Other key areas include citizen science involvement, the application of artificial intelligence or machine learning, and the proposal's alignment with the strategic objectives across various NASA divisions. Finally, specific research topics linked to aquatic ecosystems and their predictive understanding are listed, guiding proposers on the thematic focus for their research submission under the NASA solicitation framework.
The proposal titled "Proposal-Summary-Test," submitted under solicitation NNH06ASD002N, outlines key objectives related to a research initiative that seeks to advance NASA’s interests and programs. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the outlined research goals in relatable terms for non-specialists. The proposal details specific methods and techniques intended to achieve these objectives, underscoring their relevance to NASA’s broader missions.
The significance of this work is highlighted as it aligns with the priorities set forth in the solicitation, enhancing capabilities related to NASA's exploration and research agendas. However, there are noted inconsistencies in the proposal structure, where information is presented in a single paragraph instead of the intended three-paragraph format. This document serves as an initial overview of a proposed project and underscores NASA's commitment to fostering innovation through structured funding processes.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2024 (ROSES-2024) funding opportunity, identified by number NNH24ZDA001N. This document provides essential instructions for grant applications via Grants.gov, including required PDF forms and specific guidelines for submission.
Key components included in the application process are the Proposal Summary and ESUSPI24_PSD forms, both of which are critical for project submissions. Proposers are reminded to include a Total Budget File, as oversight often occurs due to Grants.gov not enforcing this requirement.
The document outlines conflicting requirements between NSPIRES and Grants.gov, stressing the need for either distinct PDF files for specific content or a single comprehensive document. For proposals under Dual Anonymous Peer Review (DAPR), instructions for anonymization procedures are provided, emphasizing the importance of completing specific forms entirely.
Team Member Commitment must be documented via letters attached to the application, confirming the role and organization of each member. Furthermore, registration in NSPIRES is mandatory for all team members, ensuring proper affiliation with their respective organizations.
Overall, the solicitation requires careful adherence to guidelines to facilitate a successful application process for NASA’s funding opportunities.
