NASA ROSES-07 Amendment 25: New due dates for Earth Surface and Interior and for EarthScope

The due dates for proposals submitted to two programs, the Earth Surface and Interior program element described in Appendix A.16 of ROSES-2007 and the EarthScope: The InSAR and Geodetic Imaging Component program element described in Appendix A.17 of ROSES-2007, have been changed. For both programs, the due date for submitting a proposal has been changed to November 26, 2007.

This change is being made in recognition of the severe difficulties that our colleagues in Southern California are experiencing due to wildfires and their attendant dislocations. This change will allow additional proposal preparation time for proposers who may have been impacted by the wildfires in Southern California. This delay is intended to allow adequate time for all proposers to prepare high-quality, responsive proposals. Proposers who were not affected by the wildfires and who are on schedule to have their proposals ready by October 25, 2007, for Earth Surface and Interior, and by November 9, 2007, for EarthScope, are encouraged to submit at that time so as to minimize any impact on their schedules.

On or about October 24, 2007, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2007” (NNH07ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ (select “Solicitations” then “Open Solicitations” then “NNH07ZDA001N”).
