Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) has released its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2024. This program element does not have a proposal due date, and proposals may be submitted at any time. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods.
• Proposals may be submitted by organizations of every type, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign (with some caveats).
• Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements.
• Most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants, and many program elements of ROSES specifically exclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited.
• Tables listing the program elements and due dates, a table that provides a very top level summary of proposal contents, and the full text of the ROSES-2024 "Summary of Solicitation" may all be found on the NSPIRES website.
