• NOTICE: Amended March 20, 2017. Text concerning the duration of awards has been corrected to explicitly state that only Science Lead proposers may plan on a fourth year of activities; all other proposers may budget only up to three years. Sections 1, 3.1, 3.2, 5.3 and 6 have been updated to reflect this correction. Moreover, small corrections have been made in Sections 4.1 and 4.2.3.

• NOTICE: Amended January 12, 2016. This amendment releases final text for A.3 Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry program, which had previously been listed as To Be Determined in ROSES-2016. This program accepts proposals by a two-step process, in which the Notice of Intent is replaced by a mandatory Step-1 proposal submitted by an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). See Section 5.2 for details. Required Step-1 proposals are due by February 13, 2017, and Step-2 proposals are due April 13, 2017. Proposers to this program will not be asked to submit a data management plan via the NSPIRES cover pages, as it is included in the proposal PDF and evaluated as part of Merit, see Sections 4.2.3 and 5.4.
