The document outlines the proposal submission requirements for NASA-related research initiatives, including information applicable to federal government funding and collaboration. It addresses the types of institutions eligible to apply, such as Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), along with stipulations regarding the inclusion of federal entities and the use of NASA's high-end computing resources. It emphasizes compliance with U.S. export control laws, particularly regarding collaborations with Chinese entities.
Additionally, the document covers environmental assessment considerations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), noting that certain activities, such as construction or outdoor discharges, may necessitate further analysis. Elements such as citizen science components and the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) technologies are also addressed. Proposals should detail their relation to existing projects and specify the intended SMD Science Division relevance, ensuring that they align with NASA’s strategic objectives.
Overall, this document serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers to navigate the proposal process, ensuring adherence to regulatory and operational guidelines, ultimately fostering collaborative and innovative research within NASA's framework.
The document outlines the proposal summary process related to a federal grant application under solicitation NNH06ASD002N. It specifies the need for a brief description of the proposed project, which should incorporate the central objectives in layman's terms, methods for achieving these objectives, and the significance of the work in relation to NASA's goals. The proposal mechanics include referencing the main components such as the proposal title and the internal codes associated with the RFP. Notably, the document mentions an issue where the summarized contents appear in one paragraph rather than the required three, highlighting a formatting concern. The significance of this proposal lies in its alignment with NASA's interests, which may include advancing research and technology relevant to space exploration and related fields. This document is primarily a procedural guideline for those submitting proposals to ensure clarity and compliance with federal grant expectations.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2024 (ROSES-2024) funding announcement, identified by the opportunity number NNH24ZDA001N. This document serves as a comprehensive guide for applicants applying for funding within the Heliophysics Innovation in Technology and Science program element. Key requirements include submitting proposals in PDF format via Grants.gov, utilizing specific NASA templates for project summaries, and addressing unique program questions.
Proposers must ensure submission of a Total Budget File with full proposals and, if applicable, a High End Computing request form for NASA resources. Notably, guidelines for Dual Anonymous Peer Review mandate careful preparation of proposal documents to respect anonymization protocols. Each team member's commitment must be documented in attached letters due to Grants.gov's limitations.
Furthermore, it is essential for all proposing team members to be registered in NASA's NSPIRES system, ensuring compliance with the proposal requirements. This solicitation emphasizes the need for thorough understanding of the application process and compliance with specific NASA instructions for a successful grant application.
