Participation in this program is open to all categories of organizations, both domestic and foreign, including educational institutions, NASA Centers, profit and nonprofit organizations, and other Government agencies. Proposals may be submitted at any time before the stated deadline. Proposals received after that date will be held for the next review cycle. Proposals will be evaluated by a scientific peer review panel with the goal of announcing selections by September 1999.
Limited funds are expected to be available for supporting programs accepted in response to this NRA. The Government's obligation to make awards is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds and the receipt of proposals which the Government determines are acceptable for award. A proposal that is scientifically and programmatically meritorious but cannot be accepted during its initial review under an NRA because of funding uncertainties may be included in subsequent reviews unless the offeror requests otherwise. Budgets are not to be submitted in response to this solicitation. After the observing program has been determined, NASA will contact investigators whose proposals have been accepted for budget requests. Foreign proposals accepted under this NRA will be implemented on the customary no exchange of funds basis in which NASA and the sponsoring foreign agency will each bear the cost of discharging their respective responsibilities.
At the time of this writing, a total of approximately $0.5M is planned for the support of Guest Investigators during Cycle 9. Additional information is in Appendix D.
Grants in conformance with NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook (NPG 5800.1D) dated July 23, 1996, or contracts in conformance with acquisitions regulations will be generated in order to fund successful proposals.
Further details relevant to this program are included in Appendices A-H to this NRA. Requests for paper copies of Appendices F-H should be directed to the Compton GRO Science Support Center using the form on page 5 of this NRA.
