What’s new in ROSES this year? How does it differ from previous ROSES?
ROSES-2023 can be found at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023 starting February 14, 2023. The following significant changes have occurred since last year’s ROSES:
The archiving requirements for data, software, and publications have been strengthened to reflect SMD’s updated scientific information policy. Specifically: 1) Accepted manuscripts arising from ROSES-2023 awards must be made publicly available upon publication 2) Data and software developed with ROSES funding must be made publicly available at the time of publication, 3) Useful scientific data and software developed during the award that have not been published must be made publicly available by the end of the award, and 4) To be eligible for funding, principal investigators and co-investigators must submit their permanent digital identifier (such as ORCID) through NSPIRES via Account Management -> Personal Profile. For more information, see Section II (c) of the ROSES-2023 Solicitation Summary (SoS) and https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/OSDMP
Updates to the Dual Anonymous Proposal Review (DAPR) program: In ROSES-2023, more than 30 program elements will use DAPR. Any program element that uses DAPR will clearly indicate this in the program element text. See Section V (b) of the ROSES-2023 Solicitation Summary (SoS) for more information. Inclusion plans will not contribute to the qualitative assessment or recommendations regarding selection and https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/dual-anonymous-peer-review for more information on DAPR.
SMD expects that F.2 Topical Workshops and Symposia and Conferences (TWSC) will be a separate funding opportunity from ROSES in 2023. The ROSES-2022 TWSC program element will continue to accept proposals until the closing date of May 12, 2023. ROSES-2023 retains the TWSC section in Tables 2 and 3 which includes a hyperlink that will be updated to reference the new TWSC opportunity when it is released.
The eligibility language regarding the CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) has been clarified in Section VIII (c) v of the ROSES-2023 Solicitation Summary (SoS).
There are several changes to program elements within ROSES:
In Appendix A (Earth Science), there are two new program elements: A.32 Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) Science Team and A.48 Wildland Fires. In Earth science, some program elements are only solicited every few years; for example, the solicitation for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) (A.40) has been requested for the first time in many years. At the time of release, A.25 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science (RRNES) and A.59 Technology Development for Support of Wildfire Science and Management and Containment have unspecified due dates but are not fixed at the time of release, and A.24 Earth Surface and Interior and A.47 Equity and Environmental Justice will be part of the inclusive testing study. See Section IV (e) ii of SoS. A.15 Cryospheric Science, A.22 Soil Moisture Active-Passive Science Team, A.28 Global Navigation Satellite System Research, A.30 SAGE III / ISS Science Team, and A.33 Understanding Changes in High Mountain Asia will evaluate proposals using DAPR. See Section V (b) of SoS. Finally, some programs in Appendix A encourage submitters to use standard Earth science templates for the current and future support effort schedule at https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/templates-for-earth-science-division-appendix-a-roses-proposals.
In Appendix B, there is a new program element: B.23 Solar Orbiter Guest Investigators. Many opportunities in Appendix B utilize a “binding” two-step proposal submission process; see Section IV (b) vii of SoS. B.15 Heliophysics Innovation in Technology and Science (HITS) has no fixed due date, B.2 Heliophysics Supporting Research (HSR), B.4 Heliophysics Guest Investigator Open (HGIO), and B.16 Heliophysics artificial intelligence/machine learning Ready Data (H-ARD) will evaluate proposals using DAPR; see Section V (b) of SoS, and B.21 Heliophysics Citizen Science Investigations (H-CSI), unspecified at release, will be part of the inclusive testing study. See Section IV (e) ii of SoS. Submitters in Appendix B are strongly encouraged to use the standard Heliophysics template for current and future support and the OSDMP template; see https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/templates-heliophysic-division-appendix-b-roses-proposals.
In
Appendix C (Planetary Science) This year, the “tools” return to element C.4 Planetary Data Archiving and Recovery and Planetary Tools. At the time of the ROSES release, six proposal programs will be evaluated using DAPR see Section V (b) of SoS and seven programs will allow proposal submission at any time. C.11 Discovery Data Analysis (DDAP) does not require budgets with proposals, only cost category (small, medium, or large); budgets will be requested later for proposals that can be specified. All proposals submitted to Appendix C are strongly encouraged to use the Planetary Science template for the staffing and effort tables, and the PSD OSDMP template for proposals requiring OSDMP. Both templates can be downloaded from: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/templates-planetary-science-division-appendix-c-roses-proposals.
In Appendix D (Astronomy), there will be a new program element: D.17 Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) General Observer – Cycle 1. At the time of the ROSES release, ten proposal programs will be evaluated using DAPR see Section V (b) of SoS, and four programs are part of the inclusive test study, see Section IV (e) ii of SoS.
In Appendix E (Biological and Physical Sciences), guidance will be provided from the National Academies for the upcoming round of contracts that will be released in Summer 2023, and as a result, many program elements in Appendix E are temporary data elements awaiting the release of this report. At the time of the ROSES release, it is planned to evaluate two program elements using DAPR see Section V (b) of SoS. Space biosciences plans to request animal and plant research as separate program elements.
In Appendix F (Cross-Sectional), there are two new program elements and a change to the current element. The new elements will be F.20 SMD Bridge Program and F.21 Artemis Deployed Instruments Program – Second Crewed Landing. The main change is that F.2 TWSC will become a separate funding opportunity. The ROSES-2022 TWSC program element will continue to accept proposals until the response date of May 12, 2023, and ROSES-2023 will retain the TWSC line in Tables 2 and 3 which will include a hyperlink to the new TWSC when available. It continues from last year when it was added by modifying F.18 NASA I-Corps, and nonprofits will be asked to submit proposals to provide training teams in innovation and entrepreneurship to help develop science and technology
