- Description
- This is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ResearchAnnouncement (NRA) which solicits proposals to conduct ground-based research in materialsscience. This solicitation (NRA NNH10ZTT001N), entitled, 'Research Opportunities inMaterials Science,' will be available on or about March 31, 2010. This solicitation willbe found by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage athttp://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings 'Solicitations'to 'Open Solicitations.'Proposals are solicited by the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) AdvancedCapabilities Division for hypothesis-driven materials science research investigations inthe following areas: thermophysical data, microstructural development and morphologicalevolution. This call is for ground-based research that may eventually lead to researchon the International Space Station (ISS). Because some of the selections may beconsidered for a future flight experiment, the proposers must show a clear path from theproposed ground-based research to an experiment that can feasibly be conducted in the LowGradient Furnace (LGF) or the Solidification and Quenching Furnace (SQF) on the ISS.Proposals submitted in response to this NRA will use a two-step process. Only PIssubmitting Step-1 proposals determined to be relevant to the solicited research of thisNRA will be invited to submit full Step-2 proposals. Step-1 proposals are due on April30, 2010, and Step-2 proposals are due on July 8, 2010. Proposals must be submitted by anauthorized official of the proposing organization.Proposals must be submitted electronically. Step-1 Proposers can use either NSPIRES (seeURL above) or Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov ) for proposal submission. InvitedStep-2 Proposals must be submitted electronically via the NSPIRES proposal data system. All categories of U.S. institutions are eligible to submit proposals in response to thisNRA. Principal Investigators (PIs) may collaborate with investigators from universities,Federal Government laboratories, the private sector, state and local governmentlaboratories and other countries.Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this NRA must beregistered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorizedorganizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. Instructions onhow to register in NSPIRES is described in the NRA. Each electronic proposal systemplaces requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other participants(e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged toaccess the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest tofamiliarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Questionsin regards to responding to this NRA may be addressed to the contacts referenced in thefull solicitation document.This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 6.102 (d)(2). Notwithstanding theposting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov, nspires.nasaprs.com, or Grants.gov, NASAreserves the right to determine the appropriate award instrument for each proposalselected pursuant to this announcement.
