Amendment 10: Changes to F.8 Supplemental Open-Source Software Awards

F.8 Supplemental Open Source Software Awards (SOSS) provides support for the conversion of legacy software into modern code to be released under a generally-accepted, open-source license (e.g., Apache-2, BSD-2-clause, GPL). The supplement adds a software component to an existing "parent" research and analysis award.

ROSES-2022 Amendment 10 makes two significant changes to F.8 SOSS: Division specific guidance for the development of open-source software has been added as Section 4 and the recommended amount for a single award has been increased from $20K/year to $50K/year. New Text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. Proposals may be submitted at any time.

On or about March 23, 2022, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2022" (NNH22ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022.

Questions concerning F.8 SOSS may be directed to Steven Crawford at steven.m.crawford@nasa.gov.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
