ROSES-14 Amendment 39: Revised text and new due date for D.6: Fermi Cycle 8

ROSES-14 Amendment 39: Revised text and new due date for D.6, Fermi Guest Investigator – Cycle 8.

The Fermi Guest Investigator (GI) program solicits proposals for basic research relevant to the Fermi mission. The primary goal of this mission is to perform 20 MeV to >300 GeV gamma-ray measurements over the entire celestial sphere, with sensitivity a factor of 30 or more greater than that obtained by earlier space missions. A secondary goal includes the study of transient gamma-ray sources with energies extending from 8 keV up to 300 GeV.

The changes to the text are the inclusion of joint observations with INTEGRAL, some clarifications about two-year projects, a larger range for possible funding levels, and a later due date. Proposals are now due by 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on January 22, 2015.

On or about October 20, 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 

Programmatic information may be obtained from the Fermi Program Scientist, Keith B. MacGregor atkeith.b.macgregor@nasa.gov
