OpportunityTitle: ROSES 2019: Utilization of L- and S- Band Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery over North America - Joint NASA and ISRO Airborne Campaign
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Proposers must be affiliated with an institution at nspires.nasaprs.com/ and, in general, NASA provides funding only to US institutions.  Organizations outside the U.S. that propose on the basis of a policy of no-exchange-of-funds; consult the Guidebook for Proposers (http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/nraguidebook/) for specific details. Some NRAs may be issued jointly with a non-U.S. organization, e.g., those concerning guest observing programs for jointly sponsored space science programs, that will contain additional special guidelines for non-U.S. participants.  Also reference the Guidebook for Proposers for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.
Description: PLEASE NOTE: this program has MANDATORY Notices of Intent, which are duevia NSPIRES by May 20, 2019. See the full posting on NSPIRESfor details. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)Science Mission Directorate (SMD) announces that its annual NASA ResearchAnnouncement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES)&#8211; 2019 will be released on or about March 14, 2019. ROSES is an omnibus NRA, with manyindividual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. Alltogether these cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting researchand technology in space and Earth sciences supported by SMD. Awards will bemade as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agencytransfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposingorganization, and/or program requirements. However, most extramural research awardsderiving from ROSES will be grants, and many program elements of ROSES specificallyexclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited. The typicalperiod of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allowup to five years and others specify shorter periods. Organizations of everytype, domestic and foreign, Government and private, for profit andnot-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teamingarrangements. Note that it is NASA policy that all research involving non-U.S.organizations will be conducted on the basis of no exchange of funds. ThisROSES-2019 NRA will be available on its release or about March 14, 2019, at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2019.Tables 2 and 3of this NRA, which will be posted athttp://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2019table2and http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2019table3,respectively, provide proposal due dates and hypertext links to descriptions ofthe solicited program elements in the Appendices of this NRA. To learn ofadditional new program elements or amendments to this NRA, proposers shouldsubscribe to: (1) The SMD mailing lists (by logging in at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/and checking the appropriate boxes under &quot;Account Management&quot; and&quot;Email Subscriptions&quot;), (2) The ROSES-2019 RSS feed for amendments,clarifications, and corrections to at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/ROSES-2019/,and (3) The ROSES-2019 due date Google calendar.Instructions are at https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/library-and-useful-links (link from the words due date calendar). Frequentlyasked questions about ROSES-2019 will be posted at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/.Further information about specific program elements may be obtained, after therelease of ROSES-2019, from the individual Program Officers listed in theSummary of Key Information at the end of each program element of ROSES-2019 andat: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.Questions concerning general ROSES-2019 policies and procedures may be directedto Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at sara@nasa.gov.
