PACE Science and Applications Team
ROSES-19 Amendment 35: A.33 Research from Geostationary Satellites - due date for proposals is January 10, 2020

ROSES-19 Amendment 44: This amendment release for community comment draft text for E.5 Applied Information Systems Research: Autonomous Robotics Research for Ocean Worlds. The Applied Information Systems Research (AISR) program seeks innovative ideas for applying advanced information and related technologies to increase life cycle effectiveness and efficiency of SMD programs. This DRAFT for community comment is for an instance called Autonomous Robotics Research for Ocean Worlds (ARROW) to develop autonomy software systems to significantly increase the robustness and productivity of future Ocean Worlds lander missions. Specifically, ARROW would seek functional and system-level autonomous capabilities for future Ocean Worlds lander missions that:

increase the productivity of surface science operations;
reduce the frequency of ground control contact and uplink/downlink command cycles necessary for surface science operations; and
enable autonomous adaptation to spacecraft faults, degradations, failures or other unexpected conditions.

This program would not solicit technology for a flight opportunity, proposers will be required to test and demonstrate the developed technology using testbeds (see Section 2.3) developed and supported by NASA. Comments on the draft text are due by November 18, 2019 via email to cmercer@nasa.gov. Contact: Carolyn Mercer (cmercer@nasa.gov)

ROSES 2018 Amendments

A.34 Studies with ICESat-2 will solicit proposals to pursue any research topic using ICESat-2 observations and advancing the Earth Science goals articulated in the NASA 2018 Strategic Plan and 2014 Science Mission Directorate Science Plan.

NASA EPSCoR R3 solicitation see Appendix C: SMD Earth Sciences Division (This falls under the EPSCoR jurisdiction, so please make sure you read the ‘eligibility’ section before doing anything; proposals will only be accepted from the resident institution of the NASA EPSCoR Director in each of the 28 eligible jurisdictions (see page 10 of the RFP)

NASA Office of STEM Engagement - NASA Fellowship Activity 2020 call for graduate research proposals is seeking student-authored and independently conceived graduate research proposals responding to a NASA Research Opportunity listed in the solicitation. The 2020 NASA Fellowship Activity is designed to support OSE objectives and provide academic institutions the ability to enhance graduate-level learning and development. Proposals are due February 21. Contact: Vandhana Lal at NASA.fellowships@nasaprs

NATIONAL OCEANIC & ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA)

NOAA Ocean Acidification Program

NOAA Climate Program Office

New DOE/NOAA IOOS opportunity American-Made Challenges Powering the Blue Economy™ Ocean Observing Prize (Submission deadline: February 12, 11:59 pm EST)

NOAA's OAP is soliciting proposals for collaborative projects of up to 3 years in duration that synthesize ocean acidification information at a regional scale (e.g. Large Marine Ecosystem, large estuary or collection of small estuaries, and state or collection of states in US waters) to determine where societal vulnerabilities to ocean acidification exist or are emerging, in order to provide actionable information for marine resource decision makers and/or bolster the resilience of the nation's Blue Economy. This funding opportunity will not support the collection of new chemical or ecological observations or species response data. Social science data collection is permitted.
LOIs deadline: January 24th 11:59pm ET.
Please see the Notice of funding opportunity for more details.
