Amendment 1: Final Text and Due Dates for B.7 Space Weather Science Application Research-to-Operations-to-Research

The primary goal of any proposal to B.7 Space Weather Science Application Research-to-Operations-to-Research (SWR2O2R) must be to support research to improve application-oriented models and forecast tools that directly enable advances in the areas described below and, in doing so, could also lead to improved scientific understanding. Proposed work must have a clear path forward to benefit an identified end user (e.g., operational agencies or an industry with a well-established space weather need) and must establish both the value of the proposed work to the end user as well as the viability of delivering a usable capability within the lifetime of the R2O2R award. The single application-oriented focus area for this opportunity is Data Assimilation for Neutral Density Forecasting. In addition to this single focus area, SWR2O2R also invites submissions on any subject that is of demonstrable relevance to the program.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 1 releases final text and due dates for B.7 SWR2O2R. Step-1 proposals are due April 6, and Step-2 proposals are due June 7, 2023.

On or about February 16, 2023, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2023" (NNH23ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023
