NASA's ROSES 2024 B.13 Heliophysics U.S. Participating Investigator program element seeks research proposals, with Step-1 due Feb 12, 2025 and Step-2 due April 23, 2025; see instructions for required forms.
NASA Headquarters has archived this opportunity.
Funder: NASA Headquarters
Due Dates: February 12, 2025 (Step-1) | April 23, 2025 (Step-2)
Funding Amounts: ~$125,000/year per investigator (up to $375,000/year for teams); duration through prime mission phase plus one year for data analysis/archiving.
Summary: Supports U.S. investigators to participate as Co-Is in heliophysics research on non-NASA missions, enhancing scientific output and U.S. community access to valuable data.
Key Information: Step-1 proposal is required to submit Step-2; proposals must include an Open Science and Data Management Plan.
This opportunity, part of NASA's annual Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) omnibus, solicits proposals for the Heliophysics U.S. Participating Investigator (H-USPI) program element. The program supports U.S. researchers to serve as Co-Investigators on heliophysics instruments, experiments, or technology demonstrations that are being built and flown by agencies other than NASA. The goal is to enhance the scientific return of non-NASA missions, benefit the U.S. scientific community, and provide access to valuable data sets.
Eligible investigations may include instrument design, modeling, calibration, data analysis, development of innovative analysis techniques, and participation in science team activities. All proposals must include a meaningful data analysis component, archiving of the complete data set, and publication of results in peer-reviewed literature.
Investigations requiring the provision of flight hardware are not eligible. Only new investigations are solicited; extensions or supplements to existing NASA-funded projects are not appropriate.
