ROSES-08 Amendment 2: New priority topics for Applied Earth Science program elements
This amendment revises the priority topics solicited in the eight national application areas of the NASA Applied Earth Science program.
The overarching purpose of the Applied Sciences Program is to discover and demonstrate innovative applications of NASA Earth science research and technology and to maximize the benefits to society of the nation’s investments in the NASA Earth science research program. To this end, the program develops and demonstrates practical applications of NASA Earth science observations and research through demonstration projects carried out in partnership with end user organizations.
Decision Support through Earth Science Research Results (Appendix A.18) solicits proposals that focus on improving decision making activities for the eight national application areas. The due dates for proposals to this program have been deferred. Notices of Intent to propose (NOIs) are due June 17, 2008. Proposals are due August 13, 2008.
Earth Science Applications Feasibility Studies (Appendix A.19) solicits proposals to develop and demonstrate practical applications of NASA Earth science observations and research through demonstration projects carried out in partnership with end user organizations. The period of performance for solicited investigations in this program element has been increased to 12-18 months. The due dates for this program element have been deferred. Notices of Intent to propose (NOIs) are due June 18, 2008. Proposals are due August 27, 2008.
On or about March 19, 2008, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2008” (NNH08ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ (select “Solicitations” then “Open Solicitations” then “NNH08ZDA001N”).
