New Frontiers Data Analysis Program (NFDAP) | |
The ROSES 2019 New Frontiers Data Analysis Program (NFDAP)   Appendix C.7 | |
  | |
NOTICE: This program requires a Notice of Intent (NOI) due on May 30, 2019. Proposals that are not preceded by the mandatory NOI may be returned without review. | |
  | |
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. | |
  | |
The scope of this program element differs slightly from the other Planetary Science Division Data Analysis Programs. Proposers are expected to carefully read the solicitation and should email the program point of contact with any questions sufficiently ahead of the NOI deadline. In addition, the NSPIRES page has an FAQ that holds answers to common questions about this program. | |
  | |
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 due date, unless otherwise specified in the program call. | |
  | |
Proposals submitted to this program element must include a Data Management Plan (see program element 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 objective of the New Frontiers Data Analysis Program (NFDAP) is to enhance the scientific return from New Frontiers missions by broadening scientific participation in the analysis and interpretation of data returned by these missions. Other mission and nonmission data sets may be used to supplement these data in a supporting role, but all proposals require the use of data from at least one New Frontiers mission. Investigations using New Frontiers Mission data may also use mission data supported by a separate Data Analysis program for outer Solar System single-body or comparative-planetology studies that require the use of those New Frontiers mission data for at least one of the bodies of focus. 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. | |
  | |
All proposals to NFDAP 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. | |
  | |
Selected investigations may result in data products and software tools that are of broad use to the science community, including maps, data with improved calibrations, etc. NASA strongly encourages that such data be archived in the Planetary Data System , or equivalent public archive, by the end of the award period. | |
  | |
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 Appendix 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. For additional information, refer to the Individual Proposer's Archiving Guide . Data products, including maps, improved calibrations, etc., must be submitted to the PDS or the 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. |
