Archive Date:Sep 26, 2014 Estimated Total Program Funding: Eligible Applicants:Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" Additional Information on Eligibility:Unrestricted ## Additional Information Agency Name:NASA Headquarters Description:This is an update to the omnibus solicitation entitled RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN AERONAUTICS - 2013 which was originally posted on December 18, 2012.

You are notified that the following changes are made: Detailed Proposals with specific due dates will now be accepted through December 31, 2013. Detailed requirements, including Proposal Due Dates will be stated in Appendices that address individual Thrust Areas. Appendices will be posted as Amendments to the ROA NRA and will be published as requirements materialize throughout the year.

The FY 2013 ROA NRA (NNH13ZEA001N) can be accessed from the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) website, (http://nspires. nasaprs. com/ ), by going first to "Solicitations", and then to "Open Solicitations".

Once Amendments are available interested parties can access Open Solicitations, click on NRA NNH13ZEA001N, and then click on "Amendments".

Under the FY 2013 ROA NRA ARMD will continue solicitation of foundational and systems-level research proposals for five programs within ARMD: the Airspace Systems Program, the Aviation Safety Program, the Fundamental Aeronautics Program, the Integrated Systems Research Program, and the Aeronautics Strategy and Management Program.

The Airspace Systems Program will directly address the Air Traffic Management (ATM) research needs of the Next Generation Air Transportation Systems (NextGen) initiative as defined by the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO). The Aviation Safety Program will take a proactive approach to safety challenges with new and current vehicles operating in the Nation's current and future air transportation system.

The Fundamental Aeronautics Program will pursue long-term, cutting edge research in all flight regimes to produce data, knowledge, and design tools that will be applicable across a broad range of air vehicles that fly through any atmosphere a t any speed.

The Integrated Systems Research Program will conduct research at an integrated system-level on promising concepts and technologies and explore/assess/demonstrate the benefits in a relevant environment. The Aeronautics Strategy and Management Program provides research and programmatic support that benefits each of the other ARMD programs.

The program efficiently manages directorate functions including: Innovative Concepts for Aviation, Education and Outreach, and Cross Program Operations. The structure of the ROA NRA will require that proposals be submitted to the most relevant aeronautics program elements, which will be described in Appendices to the NRA.

Specific Proposal submission deadline dates, any particular evaluation criteria, and submission points of contact will also be identified in the NRA Appendices. With the exception of government organizations and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), participation is open to all categories of organizations, including educational institutions, industry and nonprofit organizations.

Proposals must be submitted electronically, and all proposers may use NASA's proposal data system, NSPIRES ( http://nspires. nasaprs. com ), or Grants.

gov. Each electronic proposal system places requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the electronic proposal system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information.

Electronic proposals must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. As topic areas are released further information about specific program elements will be available.

The individual Program Officers and assigned Contracting Officers will be listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program element. Questions concerning general NRA policies and procedures may be directed to Susan Minor, Integration and Management Office Deputy Director, NASA Headquarters, Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, email: NASA-roa@nasa. gov.
