Notices

• NOTICE: Amended September 29, 2021. Section 1.3 has been updated in two ways: 1) To indicate that the USAID procurement for the next Phase of SERVIR-West Africa is still ongoing, but the West Africa focus countries and priorities identified in section 2.4.4 remain the same, so this should have no effect on the development of Step-1 proposals and 2) Afghanistan has been removed from the list of SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya foci. Afghanistan may be included as part of a broader regional perspective. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The due dates for proposals remain unchanged. Notice of the SERVIR-West Africa hub organization(s) will be posted in NSPIRES once the selection is made.
• NOTICE: Clarified June 22, 2021. Section 4.2 has been updated. Proposers are reminded that Data Management Plans are a required part of the proposal PDF and evaluated as part of Merit. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The due dates remain unchanged. Please see Section 1.1 of A.1 The Earth Science Research Overview and https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/dmp-faq-roses/. This program element uses a two-step proposal process, in which the Notice of Intent is replaced by a required five-page Step-1 proposal that must be submitted by an Authorized Organizational Representative. Only those organizations that are invited to do so may submit a Step-2 proposal. See Section 4 for details. Two Preproposal telecons are planned, one each prior to Step-1 and Step-2 proposal submissions. See Section 7 of this program element.
