NASA SMD ROSES-11 Amendment 40: Cancelation of Appendix E.5 and E.6 March due dates

Amendment 40 cancels the second opportunity in ROSES-2011 to apply to Appendixes E.5 and E.6: the Supplemental Education and Public Outreach Programs, respectively.

The Supplemental Education and Public Outreach (EPO) Programs were designed to allow SMD-funded researchers to design efforts that capitalize upon their own talents, interests, and scientific expertise. By adding an Education or Outreach component to their research investigation, they could engage the public in the excitement of NASA’s scientific exploration of our home planet, the solar system, and the rest of the universe through stimulating and informative activities that reach a broad and varied audience.

The proposed budget for the SMD Education and Public Outreach program is fully subscribed with selected activities; additional EPO supplement selections cannot be accommodated within the proposed budget. This amendment cancels the second (i.e., March 2012) due date for proposals to Appendixes E.5 and E.6.

No proposals will be accepted for the March 2012 due dates.

On or about February 15, 2012, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2011” (NNH11ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity home page at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ (select “Solicitations” then “Open Solicitations” then “NNH11ZDA001N”).
