Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute Cooperative Agreement Notice Background: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and Human Exploration Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD) released a joint Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) on January 10, 2013, soliciting team proposals to become members of the Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI). NASA is seeking innovative, broadly based research programs addressing basic and applied scientific questions fundamental to understanding the nature of the Moon, Near Earth Asteroids, Phobos and Deimos, and the near space environments of these target bodies, to enable human exploration of these destinations. SSERVI will build upon the foundation and structure established by the NASA Lunar Science Institute, details of which can be found at lunarscience.nasa.gov.
NASA Seeks Proposals Through the Competitive Program for Science Museums, Planetariums and NASA Visitor Centers Plus Other Opportunities Solicitation The NASA Office of Education, in cooperation with NASA Headquarters' Offices of Communications and Chief Technologist and Mission Directorates (i.e., Aeronautics Research, Human Exploration and Operations, and Science), seeks education project proposals through solicitation NNH13ZHA001N: Competitive Program for Science Museums, Planetariums and NASA Visitor Centers Plus Other Opportunities. Proposals must focus on NASA-inspired science, technology, engineering, or mathematics education or STEM, which may include but are not limited to, human space exploration, commercial crew and cargo, exhibits, and partnerships with K-12 educators, schools or districts. Successful proposals typically will be funded as grants or cooperative agreements. The procedures and processes for proposers to request funding through either a cooperative agreement or a grant are the same. Only non-profit entities that are legally recognized by a federal, state or local authority, including all types of NASA Visitor Centers (e.g., private, state or federal entities) located in the United States or its Territories are eligible to compete for funds. An eligible institution does not need to have the words museum, visitor center, science, or planetarium in its legal name. See NASA Research Announcement Section VII. Eligibility Requirements and Appendix M: Guidance on Resolution for Pre-Submission Eligibility Questions, for the detailed explanations and caveats related to institutional and all other eligibility criteria. Entities that cannot compete as authorized under Public Law 109-155 SEC. 616. MUSEUMS: The Administrator may provide grants to, and enter into cooperative agreements with, museums and planetariums to enable them to enhance programs related to space exploration, aeronautics, space science, earth science, or microgravity, should consult Appendix O: Other Opportunities.

Location: Area of Consideration: Open to all qualified US Citizens, permanent residents, or non-residents with a US ÒJÓ Visa
Open: January 21, 2013 The Human Research Program (HRP) investigates and mitigates the highest risks to human health and performance, providing essential countermeasures and technologies for human space exploration. Risks include physiological effects from radiation, hypogravity, and planetary environments, as well as unique challenges in medical treatment, human factors, and behavioral health support. The HRP is managed at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and comprised of six research and technology development projects, or Elements. These Elements provide the program knowledge and capabilities to conduct research addressing the human health and performance risks as well as advancing the readiness levels of technology and countermeasures to the point of transfer to the customer programs and organizations. The Chief Scientist provides leadership in the Human Research Program, advocating for the science, the representation of this science within NASA, ensuring the development of health risk mitigation strategies in support of space exploration, and handling of domestic and international external interfaces ensuring the effective coordination and execution of research activities. The Chief Scientist is responsible for maintaining the scientific integrity of the Program, ensuring appropriate balance among disciplines and providing scientific guidance/input to the Program Manager concerning budgetary requirements and funding priorities. Specific Duties include:
Qualifications Desired: Applicants should have a combination of education, research and/or program management experience with particular knowledge and experience in the subject commensurate with the research topics within HRP (www.nasa.gov/exploration/humanresearch/). Basic Education Requirement: A doctorate degree from an accredited college or university with major study in biological sciences (physiology or medicine) or physical sciences (chemistry, physics) or engineering or related technical field. Incumbent must be recognized leader in their field and have demonstrated oversight of large departments and/or diverse research groups and must have excellent communication skills.
How to Apply: Please submit a Curriculum Vita and cover letter explaining qualifications to: Advertisement will be open until 22 February, 2-13. Potential Start Date and Duration: April 1, 2013, for two-years with a potential extension.

ROSES-12 Amendment 32: Proposal Due Dates delayed for ROSES-12 Appendix A.49 Studies with ICESat and CryoSat-2 NASA solicits investigations to derive geophysical information from NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) and the European Space Agency's CryoSat-2. These altimetry missions were optimized to characterize changes in the continental ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland and the sea ice of the Arctic and Southern Oceans. The missions' primary goals are to understand the contributions of polar ice to current and future sea level rise and the coupling of changes in polar sea ice cover to the Earth system. Investigations are encouraged that:
Proposals for Appendix A.49 Studies with ICESat and CryoSat-2 are now due February 22, 2013. Table 2 and 3 of the Summary of Solicitation for this NRA will be updated to reflect these changes. On or about February 13, 2012, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2012" (NNH12ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at nspires.nasaprs.com/ and will appear on the RSS feed at: nasascience.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012 Questions concerning Appendix A.49 Studies with ICESat and CryoSat-2 may be addressed to Thomas Wagner, Earth Science Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001. E-mail: thomas.wagner@nasa.gov; Telephone: 202-358-4682.
NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellowships March 1 Proposal Due Date The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) supports NASA's goal to expand scientific understanding of the Earth and the universe in which we live. Selected by a competitive peer-review process, NPP Fellows complete one- to three-year Fellowship appointments that offer scientists and engineers unique opportunities to conduct research in fields of science relevant to NASA. These opportunities advance NASA's missions in Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, space bioscience, aeronautics and engineering, human exploration and space operations, and astrobiology. Opportunities are available at NASA Centers and other NASA-approved sites. As a result, NPP Fellows contribute to national priorities for scientific exploration, confirm NASA's leadership in fundamental research, and complement the efforts of NASA's partners in the national science community. U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, and foreign nationals eligible for J-1 status as a Research Scholar may apply. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. or equivalent degree before beginning the fellowship, but may apply while completing the degree requirements. Applicants who earned the Ph.D. more than five years before the deadline date are categorized as Senior Fellows; all applicants, no matter their category, must apply and become eligible for an NPP award via the same process. Interested applicants may apply by one of three annual application deadlines: March 1, July 1, and November 1. For more information and application procedures, go to nasa.orau.org/postdoc/
