Cassini Data Analysis Program (CDAP) | |
The ROSES 2019 Cassini Data Analysis Program Appendix C.10 | |
  | |
This program element uses a two-step proposal submission process described in Section 2 of C.1 The Planetary Science Division Research Program Overview. Mandatory Step-1 proposals are due May 16, 2019, and Step-2 proposals are due July 18, 2019. | |
  | |
Proposals to this program element are subject to a relevance requirement in addition to and that supersedes those detailed in the ROSES Summary of Solicitation, see Section 2.2 of this program element. Proposals that do not fulfill these requirements may be returned without review. | |
  | |
Proposals to this Program Element must follow the rules for use of mission data given in Appendix C.1, The Planetary Science Division Research Program Overview, Section 3.4 , which states: Spacecraft mission data to be used in proposed work must be available in the Planetary Data System (PDS) or an equivalent, publicly accessible archive at least 30 days prior to the full proposal submission deadline. | |
  | |
Proposals submitted to this Program Element must include a Data Management Plan (see Appendix C.1, Section 3.6). This must be placed in a special section, no longer than two pages in length, immediately following the References and Citations section for the Scientific/Technical/Management portion of the proposal. The Individual Proposer's Archive Guide (IPAG) is available on the PPI website. | |

The objective of the Cassini Data Analysis program(CDAP) is to enhance the scientific return of the Cassini mission by broadening the scientific participation in the analysis and interpretation of the data returned by the mission. Other mission and nonmission data sets may be used with, but all proposals must require the use of data from the Cassini mission. | |

This program solicits research proposals to conduct scientific investigations utilizing data obtained by the Cassini mission. For the purposes of this solicitation, "data" is understood to include both uncalibrated and calibrated data, as well as higher-order data products produced from the mission data. Science investigations may include the use of data from any spacecraft not supported by a separate Planetary Science Division Data Analysis Program and may contain outer solar system comparative planetology studies that require the use of Cassini data for at least one of the bodies of focus. All proposals to CDAP must identify and address a clear objective with science research that would be a significant, not incremental, advance in the state of knowledge of the research topic. Higher-order mission data products produced as part of funded research must be made publicly available, following the guidelines described in Section 3.6 of C.1 Planetary Science Overview ("Data Management Plans and Archiving"). Proposed data products for delivery to the PDS must be clearly described, appropriate time and effort for delivery and ingestion must be budgeted, and the proposal must include a letter from the manager of the appropriate PDS data node. Data products, including maps, improved calibrations, etc., must be submitted to the PDS or the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as appropriate, by the end of the funded research period, unless the investigator explicitly makes a case in the proposal for a later date. Each research proposal must constitute a stand-alone scientific investigation, with stated lines of inquiry, and result in one or more peer-reviewed publications. |
