ROSES-08 Amendment 25: New proposal opportunities for U.S. Participating Investigators in Earth Science and in Lunar and Planetary Science

This amendment announces two new proposal opportunities in Appendix A.29: Earth Science U.S. Participating Investigator and in Appendix C.25: Lunar and Planetary Science U.S. Participating Investigator. These ROSES program elements are released in conjunction with the Stand Alone Mission of Opportunity Notice (SALMON) Announcement of Opportunity (AO). These program elements solicit proposed investigations as a U.S. Participating Investigator (USPI) on a non-NASA space mission; such investigations may be as a Co-Investigator (Co-I) for an instrument, experiment, or technology demonstration that is being built and flown by a sponsor agency other than NASA. USPI investigations are solicited in Earth science and in lunar and planetary science.

Notices of Intent (NOIs) to propose are due October 15, 2008. Proposals are due December 2, 2008.

On or about September 3, 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”).
