NASA ROSES-13 Amendment 40: Final text for Appendix A.44, Earth Science Applications: Health and Air Quality

ROSES-13 Amendment 40 releases final text for Appendix A.44, Earth Science Applications: Health and Air Quality. Notices of Intent to propose are requested by February 27, 2014, and the due date for proposals is April 24, 2014.

The NASA Earth Science Division Applied Sciences Program promotes efforts to discover and demonstrate innovative and practical uses of Earth observations. For more information visit the Applied Sciences Program website at http://AppliedSciences.NASA.gov/. The Health and Air Quality application area is managing this solicitation. This application area supports the use of Earth observations in air quality management and public health, particularly regarding infectious disease and environmental health issues. The area addresses issues of toxic and pathogenic exposure and health-related hazards and their effects for risk characterization and mitigation. The area promotes uses of Earth observing data and models regarding implementation of air quality standards, policy, and regulations for economic and human welfare. The Health and Air Quality Applications area also addresses effects of climate change on public health and air quality to support managers and policy makers in their planning and preparations

On or about December 23, 2013, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2013” (NNH13ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and will appear on the RSS feed at: http://nasascience.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2013
