ROSES 2020

ROSES-2020 Program Element A.5 Carbon Cycle Science solicits proposals for research focused on carbon stocks and fluxes between and within freshwater, marine systems, and land ecosystems, and their exchange with the atmosphere. It also targets improving understanding of carbon cycle processes and feedbacks in critical ecosystems that are particularly vulnerable to environmental change. Substantive use of remote sensing and/or airborne data is required in all studies.

The research topics of interest for this program element are divided into two sub-elements, which are further divided into five research topics:

3.1: Carbon Fluxes between and within Land, Freshwater, and Marine Systems
3.1.1.      The Land-Ocean Continuum
3.1.2.      Carbon Cycle of Critical Ecosystems: Vulnerability of Tropical Forests
3.1.3.      Fluxes and Biogeochemistry of Carbon within Oceans

3.2: Carbon Fluxes between Ecosystems and the Atmosphere
3.2.1.      Carbon Fluxes between Terrestrial Ecosystems and the Atmosphere
3.2.2.      Carbon Fluxes between Oceans and the Atmosphere

ROSES-2020 Amendment 49 releases final text for A.5 Carbon Cycle Science. Notices of intent are requested by September 28, 2020 and the due date for proposals is December 3, 2020.

On or about August 26, 2020, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2020" (NNH20ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2020 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at:https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2020/.

Questions concerning A.5 Carbon Cycle Science may be directed Laura Lorenzoni, who may be reached at  Laura.Lorenzoni@nasa.gov.

Amendment 67: Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (soliciting graduate student research) final text and due dates released.

APPENDIX I:  MUREP-SMD Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry (OCEAN) - Step-1 Proposals (max 3pgs) Due December 18; Step-2 Proposals Due April 15, 2021.

In support of NASA’s ocean-focused research, the MUREP Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry (OCEAN) activity is established to strengthen and develop the research capacity and infrastructure of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in areas of strategic importance and value to NASA’s mission and national priorities.  OCEAN awards seek to improve understanding of the structure and function of global aquatic ecosystems, their interactions with the atmosphere, terrestrial and cryospheric systems, and the ocean’s role in the cycling of the major biogeochemical elements. This is done by enhancing the capability of MSIs to participate in funding opportunities, such as Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES), and to support the Agency’s advancement of science to achieve a deep scientific understanding of our planet.  Awards will be made up to a maximum of $250,000/year for three years.  For general inquiries, contact:  NASAOCEAN@nasaprs.com.

A pre-proposal teleconference for OCEAN will be held on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time:

Meeting Link, (access code): 199 974 4967, password: 7F33zwFTyt?
