Amendment 29: Advance notice of Interdisciplinary Science for Eclipse program element

The purpose of this solicitation will be to support the development of new research or enhancement of existing research that leverages the Interdisciplinary Science For Eclipse concept. NASA is seeking proposals that would connect the 2017 solar eclipse to underlying principles of physics and astronomy; the physics of the Sun, Earth and Moon; and space science. Building on existing partnerships within the target communities is especially encouraged. All proposals must demonstrate linkages to the 2017 solar eclipse and this can be done using traditional science and/or citizen science.

The purpose of this amendment is to provide advance notice that we intend to solicit proposals for a new program element in Appendix B entitled Interdisciplinary Science For Eclipse 2017. A placeholder for program element B.11 Interdisciplinary Science For Eclipse 2017 has been created. When the final program element is released it will be announced by an amendment.

The NASA point of contact for this program element is Madhulika Guhathakurta, who may be reached at madhulika.guhathakurta@nasa.gov
