NASA ROSES-2009 Amendment 3: Removing the option to submit via Grants.gov for due dates after June 27, 2009

ROSES-2009 Amendment 3: Removing the option to submit proposals via Grants.gov for program elements with due dates after June 27, 2009.

This amendment removes the option to submit proposals via Grants.gov for program elements with due dates after June 27, 2009. For each program element so changed, the summary of key information will indicate that this option is not available. This change is reflected in the summary of solicitation and will also be made to postings on Grants.gov. The Grants.gov posting of ROSES 2009 can be found by searching on NNH09ZDA001N in the Funding Opportunity Number field of the Basic Search.

This change is being made because the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of the Executive Office of the President (EOP) has asked agencies to employ alternative electronic proposal submission systems to reduce the burden at Grants.gov during the period when proposals associated with the stimulus package are being processed.

On or about April 2, 2009, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2009” (NNH09ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ (select “Solicitations” then “Open Solicitations” then “NNH09ZDA001N”).

Further information about this change to ROSES-2009 program elements due after June 27, 2009, is available from Dr. Max Bernstein, SMD Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546; Telephone: (202) 358-0879; email: sara@nasa.gov.
