NASA Request for Information on NASA’s Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics Focus Area
Solicitation Number: NNH21ZDA006L
Release Date: January 11,2021
Response Date: February 12, 2021
NASA’s Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics Focus Area (WADFA) requests input from the WADFA research and development (R&D) community on the community’s needs for the next 10 years. The information requested should consider the current state of NASA’s weather research activities and identify the R&D needs to guide planning for future activities. The input from NASA’s WADFA R&D community will be considered in the development of a WADFA strategy.
This is a Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of NASA’s WADFA in Earth Science Division’s Research and Analysis (R&A) Program. A response to this RFI does not guarantee a commitment that NASA will include submitted content into the WADFA strategy. Furthermore, the WADFA strategy will follow all NASA rules and regulations regarding the development of such documentation. Funding levels for WADFA are not expected to be increased as part of any activities prioritized and included in the new strategy, or as a result of the inputs provided from the community. WADFA has limited dedicated resources and on occasion draws on resources that might be perceived as being primarily focused in support of other focus areas. The RFI responses will assist WADFA program managers understand any resources that are primarily oriented towards other focus areas but have components that are highly relevant to WADFA.
This RFI seeks responses broadly from U.S. industry, universities, non-profit organizations, individuals, NASA centers, and other U.S. government agencies. NASA will use responses to further inform planning and acquisition strategy development.
