NASA Dynamical Neutral Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (DYNAMIC): Announcement of Opportunity (AO) Delay

This email sent via the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) announces an update to Community Announcement number NNH22ZDA004L initially posted on SAM.gov on October 19, 2021.

NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is delaying the release of the draft Dynamical Neutral Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (DYNAMIC) mission solicitation due to reduced budget availability anticipated at this time. 

Further information specific to DYNAMIC will be posted on the Acquisition Homepage at https://soma.larc.nasa.gov/STP/DYNAMIC/ as it becomes available. The DYNAMIC acquisition planning is described on the Announcements tab of the Acquisition Homepage.

NASA has not approved the issuance of the DYNAMIC AO and this notification does not obligate NASA to issue the AO and solicit proposals. Any costs incurred by prospective investigators in preparing submissions in response to a DYNAMIC AO are incurred completely at the submitter’s own risk.

Any questions about the DYNAMIC delay should be directed via email only using subject line “DYNAMIC NNH22ZDA004L” to: Dr. Jared Leisner, Solar Terrestrial Probes Program Lead Program Scientist, Heliophysics Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA, Washington, DC 20546; Email: jared.s.leisner@nasa.gov. Depending on the nature of the question(s)/comments, NASA may respond on an individual basis by email or may post responses at the Questions and Answers (Q&A) section of DYNAMIC Acquisition Homepage https://soma.larc.nasa.gov/STP/DYNAMIC/faq.html. Anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions/comments will be preserved.
