This ROSES-2014 NRA (NNH14ZDA001N) solicits basic and applied research in support of NASAs Science Mission Directorate (SMD).
This NRA covers all aspects of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences, including, but not limited to: theory, modeling, and analysis of SMD science data; aircraft, scientific balloon, sounding rocket, International Space Station, CubeSat, and suborbital reusable launch vehicle investigations; development of experiment techniques suitable for future SMD space missions; development of concepts for future SMD space missions; development of advanced technologies relevant to SMD missions; development of techniques for and the laboratory analysis of both extraterrestrial samples returned by spacecraft, as well as terrestrial samples that support or otherwise help verify observations from SMD Earth system science missions; determination of atomic and composition parameters needed to analyze space data, as well as returned samples from the Earth or space; Earth surface observations and field campaigns that support SMD science missions; development of integrated Earth system models; development of systems for applying Earth science research data to societal needs; and development of applied information systems applicable to SMD objectives and data.
Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of science experiment hardware).
The funds available for awards in each program element offered in this ROSES-2014 NRA range from less than one to several million dollars, which allows selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals depending on the program objectives and the submission of proposals of merit.
Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intraagency transfers, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. The typical period of performance for an award is four years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods.
Organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on the number or teaming arrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all investigations involving non-U.S. organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds.
Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Electronic proposals may be submitted via the NASA proposal data system NSPIRES or via Grants.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is releasing a NASA Announcement of Opportunity (NNH10ZDA007O), Discovery 2010. NASA expects to select up to three Discovery mission proposals for a 9 month Phase A study. Following evaluation of Phase A reports, NASA expects to approve one Discovery mission to proceed into Phase B and subsequent mission phases. Launch Readiness Date (LRD) is to occur no later than December 31, 2017. The proposed missions may target any body in the Solar System, including Mars and Earths Moon, but excluding the Earth and Sun. Participation is open to all categories of organizations (U.S. and non-U.S), including educational institutions, industry, not-for-profit organizations, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), NASA Centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and other Government agencies. This solicitation will be open from June 7, 2010, through September 3, 2010. Upon the release date, the full text of the AO and all appendices will be available electronically at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ . A preproposal conference will be held in late June or early July, in the Washington, DC, area; see http://discovery.larc.nasa.gov/ for details. Proposers should be aware of the following major changes in this AO from the Draft Discovery Program AO (NNH10ZDA003J) released in December 2009: Launch vehicles in the medium and high performance classes with 4m fairings will be added as options. Costs to proposers for these options are currently being assessed. Proposed missions will be required to be compatible through PDR with three families of launch vehicles: Atlas V, Delta IV, and Falcon 9. The minimum requirements for taking advantage of technology-infusion cost cap incentives will be detailed in a new document in the Program Library entitled In-Space Propulsion Technologies Minimum Demonstration Requirements. The costs associated with NEPA, NLSA, and nuclear launch services for missions proposing to use ASRGs will be reduced to a firm, fixed cost of $20M (FY10). The justification for the use of X-band telecommunications for science data downlink will be clarified to explicitly follow Recommendation 23-1 of the Space Frequency Coordination Group: in deep-space X-band users will be limited to 12 MHz of bandwidth while at Mars X-band users will be limited to 8 MHz of bandwidth. Beyond these limits, missions will be required to use Ka-band. Aperture fees based on the standard formula will remain. Missions to the Martian surface will no longer be required to carry the Electra-lite UHF radio package. However, any UHF package used will be required to be interoperable with the current Mars UHF relay network. The latest allowable Launch Readiness Date (LRD) will be extended to December 31, 2017. In addition to the listed major changes, this AO incorporates a large number of additional changes relative to the previous Discovery Program AO and the Draft Discovery Program AO, including both policy changes and changes to proposal submission requirements. All proposers must read this AO carefully, and all proposals must comply with the requirements, constraints, and guidelines contained within this AO.

Through this solicitation, NASA is strengthening involvement with higher education institutions to ensure that NASA can meet future workforce needs in STEM fields. Participation in NASA projects and research stimulates increasing numbers of students to continue their studies at all levels of the higher education continuum and earn advanced degrees in these critical fields. NASA MUREP American Indian and Alaskan Native STEM Partnership (MAIANSP) goals: * Increase the level of STEM literacy and engagement of the American Indian and Alaskan Native secondary and postsecondary levels through the utilization of culturally relevant and responsive subject matter. * Create a diverse, highly skilled, and motivated future workforce in computer-related sciences. * Advance the understanding of how to effectively teach computer programming concepts to historically underrepresented and underserved populations. NASA MUREP American Indian/Alaskan Native STEM Partnership (MAIANSP) objectives: * Increase the number of historically underrepresented and underserved students who engage/graduate in computer science studies; * Improve the rates at which students, who historically have been underrepresented in NASA-related fields, are awarded undergraduate and graduate degrees at their respective universities in NASA-related fields; * Increase the diversity of the NASA STEM workforce; and * Strengthen two-year and four-year MSIs in their curricula in order to attract more students into STEM-based academic programs, retain them, and prepare them for success when they take the next steps in their education or in their careers. Every institution that intends to submit a proposal to this CAN, including the proposed prime award or any partner whether an informal education institution, other non-profit institutions, state and local Government agencies, and other organizations that will serve as sub-awardees or contractors, must be registered in NSPIRES. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the due date and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators) must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of submission system.
