The document outlines a proposal related to NASA that is identified under solicitation NNH06ASD002N. It emphasizes the need for a clear description of the proposal’s main objectives in easily understandable terms. Key objectives include outlining the research goals and the methods or techniques to be employed in achieving these objectives. The proposal is intended to signify its relevance to both the solicitation's goals and NASA's broader interests and programs. The document highlights a formatting issue where the proposal summary should be presented in three paragraphs but is erroneously formatted as a single paragraph. It references a specific application and proposal title, indicating the formality and structure typical in federal grants and RFP submissions. This reflects the importance of clarity and adherence to guidelines in government-funded projects to ensure effective communication of research intentions and significance.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announces the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences – 2024 (ROSES-2024) under funding opportunity number NNH24ZDA001N. This document outlines application instructions for the Research Initiation Awards program (Program Element Title F.19). It specifies required submission formats, indicating all materials must be in PDF format. Key documents include a project summary template and specific questions to answer for the proposal.
Proposers must submit a “Total Budget File” and provide separate PDFs as required by Grants.gov, avoiding content duplication. Special instructions for Dual Anonymous Peer Review (DAPR) are included to ensure proper anonymization in submissions. It emphasizes that all team members must register in the NSPIRES system, while confirming organizational registrations are also necessary. Helpful links to guidance documents and relevant webpage resources for preparation are provided throughout. This funding opportunity aims to foster research in space and Earth sciences and support emerging projects aligned with NASA's objectives.
The document outlines the requirements for proposal submissions associated with a NASA research program that employs a Dual-Anonymous Peer Review (DAPR) process. Proposals must maintain anonymity according to specified guidelines. Key components include the institution's classification (e.g., Minority-Serving Institution), potential funding allocations to federal organizations, the use of NASA-provided high-end computing resources, and compliance with U.S. export control laws.
Proposers are required to disclose any collaborations with Chinese entities, address potential environmental impacts as per the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and indicate whether the project includes citizen science components. Additionally, questions about the involvement of Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning tools, as well as potential inter-divisional collaboration within NASA, are included. Final sections ask for possible reviewer contact information and allow comments for clarity regarding NEPA compliance.
The overall purpose is to direct and evaluate proposals effectively while ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and fostering innovative research within NASA's strategic framework. This comprehensive approach reflects the federal government's commitment to rigor and transparency in funding scientific research initiatives.
