Amendment 57: ROSES-24 Changes for 2 CFR 200 Update

Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) is an omnibus or umbrella solicitation, meaning that it has many individual program elements each with its own due date(s) and topics that span the full range of Space and Earth Science. The basic backstop rules that apply to all program elements by default are given in the ROSES “Summary of Solicitation”.

This amendment announces several changes to the ROSES-24 Summary of Solicitation, mostly because of the update to 2 CFR 200 that takes effect starting today, October 1, 2024. UPDATED, October 11, 2024. New text is in bold. Those changes include but are not limited to:

A new guidance document for proposers: the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Manual (GCAM) has replaced the Proposer’s Guide.

New federal assistance awards will require new certifications, Biographical Sketches, and Current and pending Support. However, those who are applying to ROSES-2024 need not change how they prepare their proposals; the NASA Shared Services Center will contact you asking for updated information after selection.

The optional new format for Biographical Sketch found at: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/biosketch-form.docx includes required additional materials (e.g., a certification and a Privacy Act Statement) so Biographical Sketches based on the new format are not page limited.

Please see the Amended ROSES-24 Summary of Solicitation. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. No ROSES due dates have changed because of this Amendment, or the changes to 2 CFR 200.

On or about October 1, 2024, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024" (NNH24ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2024/

Any programmatic or administrative questions concerning ROSES-24, or this amendment may be directed to SARA@nasa.gov. Technical questions regarding individual program elements in ROSES should be directed to the point of contact given at the end of the program element and on the web at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/
