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.

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

NOTICE: Amended October 20, 2017. The text (primarily in Section 7) has been changed to clarify the expected structure and content of program-specific material within the proposal. The requirement to address potential contribution to the Focused Science Team effort is described in Section 7.2.2. Please note that the proposer’s response to this requirement will be provided in a 4000-character text box on the NSPIRES cover page not in the 15-page main body of the proposal. Section 7.2.3 explains how the evaluation criteria explicitly include assessment of the potential contribution to the Focused Science Team effort. In addition, it is noted (in Section 7.2) that proposers are expected to provide mail-in reviews for one to three proposals to this program element. The Data Use policy for the LWS Element in ROSES 2017 is described in Section 1.1, and small changes have been made in Section 2.1, including estimates of the anticipated number of awards and average award size.
The Step-1 Proposals are now due December 5, 2017 and Step-2 Proposals are due February 6, 2018. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through.
Please note that the Step-1 Due Date of Apr 27, 2018 advertised above means that this program element is either "Not Solicited This Year" or is expected to be solicited, but currently is "TBD". If this program changes to solicit proposals, an amendment will be issued and the close date above will be changed to reflect the proposal due date. The proposal due date (as well as a Notice of Intent due date, if there is one) will also be advertised in Tables 2 and 3 - provided as links above.
The description of the specific proposal opportunity on this page is contained in the document 'B.6 Heliophysics Living With a Star Science'. This document is kept up to date and incorporates amendments, clarifications and corrections in a clearly identifiable manner.
ROSES-2017 is an omnibus NASA Research Announcement. It contains over 50 different proposal opportunities. In the "Announcement Documents" section above, the document 'Summary of Solicitation' describes the common requirements for all ROSES-2017 proposal opportunities; all proposers must satisfy the proposal requirements in the 'Summary of Solicitation'. The documents 'Table 2' and 'Table 3' contain the list of all proposal opportunities and their due dates. The document 'B.1 Heliophysics Research Program Overview' describes research activities within the NASA science division that is managing the specific proposal opportunity on this page. The document 'B.6 Heliophysics Living With a Star Science' describes the specific proposal opportunity on this page. All of these documents are kept up to date and incorporate amendments, clarifications, and corrections in a clearly identifiable manner.
