A.65 Responsive Science Initiatives Research: Updates
A.65 Responsive Science Initiatives Research (RSIR) solicits scientific research required to address societal challenges in three thematic areas:
- Understanding and Forecasting Zoonotic Disease Events;
- Minimizing Contrails in Commercial Aviation; and,
- Downscaling Earth System Models (ESMs) to Address Regional and Local Challenges
Proposals must advance scientific knowledge with the intention of supporting follow-on applications for end users. In addition, investigations must:
- Be based on satellite remote sensing observations and related Earth system research and models;
- Begin from Application Readiness Levels (ARLs) 1-3; and
- Describe how the proposed research leads to an application for a specific end user, noting that proposers are encouraged to involve end users as appropriate.
Proposals submitted to this program will be evaluated using dual-anonymous peer review.
The following updates were made to A.65 Responsive Science Initiatives Research: Section 2 has been edited to conform with a recent executive order, Section 10.1 has been updated to point to an Applications Readiness Level PDF posted under “Other Documents” on the NSPIRES page for this program element, and a FAQ has been posted. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The Proposal due date remains March 25, 2025
