The ROSES 2024
Cassini Data Analysis Program
Appendix C.10
|
  |
Notice: Proposals submitted to this program will be evaluated using a dual-anonymous review process. Both Step-1 and Step-2 proposals must
be anonymous. See preparation guidelines in
Appendix C.10, Section 3.2 and in the associated
"Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document under "Other Documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element.
|
  |
CDAP solicits proposals via a two-step proposal submission process described in
Section 2 of C.1 The Planetary Science Research Program Overview.
|
  |
Mandatory Step-1 proposals are due June 6, 2024, and Step-2 proposals are due August 14, 2024.
|
  |
Proposers are strongly advised to read
Appendix C.1 in its entirety to help ensure that they have all the necessary information to be compliant with their proposal submission.
|
  |
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 non-mission data sets may be used with these data,
but all proposals must require the use of data from the Cassini mission.
|
  |
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
Step-2 due date. Spacecraft data that have not been placed in such archives may not be proposed for use. The calendar of record for data released in
the PDS is the PDS Data Release Calendar.

|
|
The following Discipline Nodes also have Cassini information pages: |
Atmospheres Node
Cartography and Imaging Sciences Node
Ring-Moon Systems Node
Small Bodies Node
|
|
Ancillary data (SPICE files) for Cassini can be obtained from the
NAIF Node |
|
|
Proposals submitted to this program element must include an Open Science and Data Management Plan (OSDMP). See
Section 3.7 of C.1 Planetary Science Research Program Overview for information on content. The sufficiency of the OSDMP will be evaluated as part of Merit. This section of the proposal
must be anonymized. In cases where a letter of support from the Planetary Data System is required, that letter must be included in the separate "Expertise and
Resources Not Anonymized" document as outlined in the
"Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document.
|
  |
This program element uses a two-step proposal submission process described in
Appendix C.1, Section 2. Step-1 proposals are mandatory and must be submitted by the proposing organization.
|
  |
Proposals submitted to this program will be evaluated using a dual-anonymous peer
review (DAPR) process. In the DAPR process, proposers are unaware of the identity of
the reviewers and the reviewers are not told the identity of the proposers until after the
evaluation of the anonymized proposal. See
Section 3.13 of C.1 Planetary Science Research Program Overview and the instructions in the
"Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document for submission instructions.
