    The document outlines a series of program-specific data collection fields required for a proposal submission to NASA, including questions on institution type, funding sources, high-end computing requests, export control regulations, and potential environmental impacts. It also addresses participation metrics for undergraduate and graduate students and any collaboration with Chinese organizations. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for transparency regarding collaboration, technological readiness levels, and budget allocations for student support and research capacity.
    The proposal seeks to outline its central objectives in a manner accessible to non-experts, describe the methodologies and techniques to achieve these research goals, and highlight the significance of the work in relation to NASA's broader interests and programs. It includes detailed instructions for navigating the internal submission system, specifically referencing a particular solicitation and proposal title. The key issue identified is that the current summary is presented as a single paragraph instead of the required three distinct paragraphs.
    NASA's Omnibus Funding opportunity (ROSES-2024) invites proposals specifically for the Interdisciplinary Consortia for Astrobiology Research (ICAR) under the solicitation NNH24ZDA001N. Applicants must carefully follow the provided guidelines, including utilizing designated PDF templates and ensuring compliance with Grants.gov requirements while submitting necessary documents such as team member commitments and the Total Budget File. Additional resources, including application instructions and program references, are available on the NASA and NSPIRES websites to assist in the proposal preparation process.
