The
ROSES 2024  New Frontiers Data Analysis Program (NFDAP)
Appendix C.7
|
  |
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
C.7, Section 3 and in the associated
"Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document under "Other Documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element.
|
  |
This program element solicits proposals via a two-step proposal submission process described in
Section 2 of C.1 The Planetary Science Division Research Program Overview. |
  |
Step-1 proposals are due September 11, 2024, and Step-2 proposals are due November 7, 2024.
|
  |
Proposers are strongly advised to read
Appendix C.1, The Planetary Science Research
Program Overviewin its entirety to help ensure that they have all of the necessary information to be compliant with their proposal submission. |
  |
The objective of the New Frontiers Data Analysis Program (NFDAP) is to enhance the
scientific return from New Frontiers missions and broaden scientific participation in the
analysis and interpretation of data returned by these missions. NFDAP also solicits
proposals for the analysis of mission data from the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission, which is
not a New Frontiers mission. Other mission and non-mission data sets may be used to
supplement spacecraft data in a supporting role, but all proposals must require the use
of data from at least one qualifying mission: New Horizons, Juno, OSIRIS-REx, or
Hayabusa2. |
  |
Proposals must include data-analysis tasks but may also include non-data-analysis
tasks that are necessary to interpret or use the data. Proposals that include non-data-analysis tasks must incorporate the results of such
tasks in the proposed data analysis tasks. Proposals that include comparative analysis
between missions (e.g., Hayabusa2 vs. OSIRIS-REx) are allowed. Proposals may make use of Hayabusa2 and/or OSIRIS-REx remote-sensing data but may not include any
laboratory studies of samples returned to Earth by Hayabusa2. |
Mission data are available from the Planetary
Data System (PDS). |
|
|
|
The following Discipline Nodes have additional information: |
Atmospheres Node
Cartography and Imaging Sciences Node
Ring-Moon Systems Node
Small Bodies Node
Geosciences Node
|
Ancillary data (SPICE files) can be obtained from the
NAIF Node |
|
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. Mission data used in NFDAP investigations 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.
|
  |
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 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" instructions.
|
  |
This program element uses a two-step proposal submission process described in
C.1, Section 2. Step-1 proposals are mandatory and must be submitted by the proposing organization.
|
  |
Both Step-1 and Step-2 proposals must be written in an anonymized format (see
C.7, Section 3.2 and the
"Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document for information).
|
  |
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. The objective of dual-anonymous peer review is
to minimize bias in the evaluation of the merit of a proposal. See
Section 3.13 of C.1 and the instructions in the
"Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document for additional submission instructions.
