Amendment 20: Space Weather Centers of Excellence Final Text and Due Dates.

ROSES-2022 Amendment 20 releases final text and announces due dates for Space Weather Centers of Excellence (SWxC), program element B.22 of ROSES-22, which had been previously released as draft for community comment. The changes between draft and final will be summarized in a FAQ downloadable under "Other documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element.

B.22 Space Weather Centers of Excellence (SWxC) solicits proposals for multi-institution, multi-/inter-/trans- disciplinary collaborations (Centers) that address grand challenge goals of space weather that are ambitious in scope and transformative in nature as part of an integrated multi-agency initiative to advance the science and technology of space weather. This program is intended to support research that cannot be effectively done by individual investigators or small teams, instead requiring the synergistic, coordinated efforts of a research center. This SWxC program takes advantage of lessons learned from ongoing and past science centers, the growing body of information on team science, and a coordinated national effort to improve space weather capabilities and preparedness.

Six-page Step-1 proposals are due June 21, 2022, and 25-page Step-2 proposals are due August 25, 2022. Comments and questions concerning B.22 SWxC may be to Jesse Woodroffe at jesse.r.woodroffe@nasa.gov.

On or about May 18, 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.

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.
