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.

Privacy Act Statement
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2451, et seq. The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended
Purpose(s): 1. To store and evaluate proposals or other information related to participation in NASA opportunities, i.e., to compete for or receive funding, e.g., assistance, i.e., grants or cooperative agreements, acquisitions, and Space Act Agreements, including for projects conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis. 2. To identify, invite, and when applicable, pay, subject matter experts (a) to serve as reviewers in a NASA merit review or related processes; (b) to apply for a NASA position or NASA-related position; and/or (c) to attend a NASA meeting or participate in another type of engagement. 3. To study progress and results of NASA activities for program management, evaluation, or public reporting.
Routine Uses As permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, use of Opportunities and Associated Reviewers (NASA 10OAAR) information occurs in accordance with the Routine Uses and NASA Standard Routine Uses listed in the system of records notice(s) published in the Federal Register (FR). NASA 10OAAR's initial FR document number was 2023-03749 in 88 FR 11479 published February 23, 2023. A full copy of the most recent FR notice may be downloaded at

- Due to the lapse in federal government funding, NASA is not updating this website. We sincerely regret this inconvenience.
October 15, 2021. Subsection 1.2.4, "Laboratory Astrophysics" of D.3 Astrophysics Research and Analysis has been clarified. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. Regarding the removal of the reference to exoplanetary systems, it had already been noted, in Section 1.2 "Categories of Proposals" that "This program element excludes proposals for investigations that are in scope of the Exoplanet Research Program", so this is not a change in scope. Due dates remain unchanged: Notices of Intent to propose are requested by November 19, 2021, and the proposal deadline remains December 16, 2021, predicated on the release of the 2020 Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics at least 30 days prior.
NOTICE: Amended September 24, 2021. This amendment updates the text, changes the Notice of Intent (NOI) from mandatory to requested, and delays the NOI due date for this program element. A NOI is now requested by November 19, 2021; the proposal deadline remains December 16, 2021, predicated on the release of the 2020 Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics at least 30 days prior. Should the Decadal Survey not be released by November 15, NASA may amend this solicitation to delay the due date. For ROSES-2021 only, a NOI is encouraged but not required for submission of a proposal to this program element; see Section 2.4. These changes give proposers more time to appropriately target their proposals to this program element or Strategic Astrophysics Technology (program element D.7). This amendment also provides clarifications on the Data Management Plan and on the range of availability for balloon-borne payloads. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through.
The description of the specific proposal opportunity on this page is contained in the document 'D.3 Astrophysics Research and Analysis'. The document 'D.1 Astrophysics 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. All of these documents are kept up to date and incorporate amendments, clarifications, and corrections in a clearly identifiable manner.
