NASA ROSES-14 Amendment 19: Removing PME from C.7, PDART

ROSES-14 Amendment 19 removes the Planetary Major Equipment option from Appendix C.7, Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools Program (PDART)

The Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) Program solicits proposals to generate higher-order data products, archive and restore data sets or products, create or consolidate reference databases, digitize data, and develop or validate software tools.

The objective of this program element is to increase the amount and quality of archived data and data products available for planetary science research and exploration and to produce tools that would enable or enhance future scientific investigations. Although it is expected that a small amount of data analysis or modeling may be performed to validate any generated products, this program element does not accept proposals in which the main focus is a scientific investigation

This amendment removes the Planetary Major Equipment option from the Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools call, C.7. The due dates remain unchanged, Step-1 proposals are due July 14, 2014, and Step-2 proposals are due September 12, 2014.

On or about May 9, 2014, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2014” (NNH14ZDA001N) 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-2014
