Notices

• NOTICE: The AIST Program expects selections from the AIST-21 solicitation will be announced in the April timeframe.
• NOTICE: As of November 23, 2021 at 9:00 AM, this Virtual Q&A process is closed. No new questions will be addressed.
• August 12, 2021. Section 4.1.1 of A.46 Advanced Information Systems Technology has been clarified to more explicitly describe where on the NSPIRES cover page the four required sections must be provided as part of the Step-1 proposal. New text is in bold. The due dates are unchanged: Step-1 proposals are due August 25, 2021, and Step-2 proposals are due November 30, 2021.
• NOTICE: Amended July 2, 2021. This program element amendment releases final text that was previously "TBD." This element now uses a two Step proposal submission process that replaces a Notice of Intent (NOI) with a Step-1 proposal submitted by the proposing organization’s Authorized Organization Representative. For more information see Section 4.1 of this program element. Step-1 proposals are due August 25, 2021, and Step-2 proposals are due November 30, 2021. No Data Management Plan is requested for this program element, but an Open-Source Software Plan must be provided in response to an NSPIRES cover page question (see Section 3.3).
• NOTE: The email that was sent out to the NSPIRES email list announcing the release of final text on July 2, 2021 incorrectly characterized the AIST program as being interested in technologies needed in the 5-20 year time frame. The correct timeframe of 5-10 years is given in the solicitation (see A.46 document above).
• The description of the specific proposal opportunity on this page is contained in the document 'A.46 Advanced Information Systems Technology'. The document 'A.1 Earth Science Research 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.
