Who can apply

This opportunity was open to the applicants described in the notice.

Proposers must be affiliated with an institution at nspires.nasaprs.com/ and, in general, NASA provides funding only to U.S. institutions. Organizations outside the U.S. that propose on the basis of a policy of no-exchange-of-funds; consult the NASA Proposer’s Guide (https://www.nasa.gov/general/grants-policy-and-compliance-team/ - section-2) for specific details. Some NRAs may be issued jointly with a non-U.S. organization, e.g., those concerning guest observing programs for jointly sponsored space science programs, that will contain additional special guidelines for non-U.S. participants. Also reference the Proposer’s Guide for special instructions for proposals from non-U.S. organizations that involve U.S. personnel for whom NASA support is requested.

Is this a realistic fit?

What the grant funds

Proposers must retrieve the instructions document (zip file) associated with the application package for this opportunity as there is at least one required form that must be attached to the submitted proposal package. Proposers are reminded that only Type-2 proposals can be submitted here. Type-1 proposals must be submitted to the ARK/RPS. NOTICE: Amended January 11, 2024. The Resolve instrument’s Gate Valve (X-ray aperture door) has not opened after multiple attempts thereby blocking soft X-rays, shifting Resolve’s energy band from 0.3 - 12 keV to 1.7 - 12 keV, and lowering the effective area. While the XRISM team will continue to assess different approaches to opening the Gate Valve, the General Observer Cycle-1 program will be carried out with the closed Gate Valve configuration. Since the Resolve instrument’s effective area is less than anticipated, longer exposures may be needed for some observations, which will affect the number of proposals selected for Cycle 1, leaving the distribution of funding for Type-1 vs. Type-2 proposals less certain. Proposals must justify the science case given the closed Gate Valve and shift in energy band. The relevant response function files and technical information are provided at https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xrism/ The due date remains the same: Type-1 (Phase-1) observing proposals are to be submitted via ARK/RPS by 4:30 pm eastern time and Type-2 proposals are to be submitted via NSPIRES by 11:59 pm eastern time April 4, 2024. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. NOTICE: Amended December 15, 2023. This Amendment delays the due date for this program element. Notices of intent are not requested, and proposals are now due April 4, 2024. Also, the planning start date in Section 3 has been delayed to August 1, 2023. NOTICE: Amended December 12, 2023. This Amendment presents a new program element in ROSES-2023. Notices of intent are not requested, and proposals are due March 21, 2024. There are two types of proposals with different page limits, contents, and submission procedures: Type-1 Phase-1 proposals are due at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time via ARK/RPS whereas Type-2 proposals must be submitted by the proposing organization via NSPIRES by 11:59 pm. XRISM General Observer (GO) proposals, both Type-1 and Type-2, will be evaluated via dual-anonymous peer review.
