NASA and U.S. Government policies address research and personal misconduct, and provide avenues for reporting potential violations.
Any individual comfortable doing so is encouraged to contact the panel/solicitation program official directly. When a NASA individual responsible for reviews receives allegations of misconduct, etc. from a reviewer/panel, they must notify the NASA Office of Inspector General (OIG) immediately. All individuals are encouraged to read the NASA websites, which include information on reporting options outside of the NASA programs.
Anyone engaged in or observing any aspect of NASA-supported research activities (from peer review to the final publication of results), including a non-NASA individual, may make a misconduct allegation directly to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) by phone at 1-800-424-9183 or online at: https://oigforms.nasa.gov/wp_cyberhotline.html.

- Due to the lapse in federal government funding, NASA is not updating this website. We sincerely regret this inconvenience.
NOTICE: Amended February 23, 2022. It has recently come to our attention that not all browser configurations prominently display the scroll bars that allow visitors to the web page to access all of the PDFs posted on this page. Since some proposers may not have been aware of these documents, the ORSA-PSP Step-1 proposal due date has been delayed to March 7, 2022, to give all potential proposers an opportunity to review all of the documents.
February 22, 2022: IMPORTANT NOTICE: There are many "Other Documents" posted to the right. Some browser configurations, however, do not prominently display the scroll bars that allow you to access them. All documents referenced in the solicitation as being posted on this page are here. Additionally, we have just added a document that provides a higher resolution view of page 33 of the Sample Analysis Plan: the SEIWG flowchart.
January 28, 2022. In response to questions about eligibility, we have clarified Section 1.1 of C.30 the OSIRIS-REx Sample Analysis Participating Scientist Program (ORSA-PSP) to better delineate the eligibility requirements to serve as PI or Science PI. The due dates are unchanged: Step-1 proposals are due February 28, 2022, and Step-2 proposals are due April 26, 2022. Questions concerning C.30 ORSA-PSP may be directed to Jeffrey N. Grossman at HQ-OREXPSP@mail.nasa.gov.
NOTICE: Amended January 25, 2022. This amendment presents final due dates for this Program Element: Step-1 proposals are due February 28, 2022, and Step-2 proposals are due April 26, 2022.
The description of the specific proposal opportunity on this page is contained in the document 'C.30 OSIRIS-REx Sample Analysis Participating Scientist Program'. The document 'C.1 Planetary Science Research Program Overview' describes research activities within the NASA science division that is managing the specific proposal opportunity on this page and may impose requirements upon proposals submitted to this program element. The document 'Summary of Solicitation' describes the common requirements for all ROSES-2021 proposal opportunities. The document ‘Table 1’ contains the proposal check list from the Summary of Solicitation. The documents 'Table 2' and 'Table 3' contain the list of all proposal opportunities and their due dates, sorted by (Step-2) proposal due date or appendix number, respectively.
