VIRTUAL PROPOSERS’ CONFERENCE FOR THE ROSES-2021 E.8 – PHYSICAL SCIENCES INFORMATICS PROGRAM ELEMENT

NASA will hold a virtual proposers’ conference to provide an overview of the “NASA Physical Sciences Informatics System” program element released on September 15, 2021, to give a tutorial of the Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI) system, and to answer questions about the proposal process and the use of the PSI.

Date: Wednesday, October 6, 2021, at 3 pm Eastern Time

If you want to submit questions about the PSI or the program element before the conference, please send your questions to msfc-dl-psi-support@mail.nasa.gov. During the conference, you may send questions to the Conference Host using Webex Chat (non-voice, similar to sending a text message). There also will be limited time reserved during the conference to ask questions over the Webex. The E.8 PSI program element is available at: https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?solId={3B58C0CA-6FF7-C12A-B5F1-75920A1809B1}&path=&method=init. The full announcement of the release of the program element is included below.

Presentations made at the session, including answers to all submitted questions, will be posted on the FAQ section of the NSPIRES website within 10 business days of the conference. Additional questions and answers after the conference will be handled similarly. Anonymity of the authors of all questions will be preserved in the publicly posted documents.

For more details, visit the PSI website: https://nasa.gov/PSI, or the NSPIRES webpage for E.8 Physical Science Informatics.

 

ROSES-21 Amendment 36: E.8 Physical Sciences Informatics Final Text and Due Dates Released

The PSI system includes experimental data from the following research areas: 1) Biophysics, 2) Combustion Science, 3) Complex Fluids, 4) Fluid Physics, 5) Fundamental Physics, and 6) Materials Science. This E.8 Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI) program element solicits ground-based research in all these six research areas. The proposals must present a compelling case of how the experimental data from the PSI system (https://www.nasa.gov/PSI) will be used to promote the advancement of further research. Proposals must be responsive to the high-priority research areas identified in the 2011 Decadal Survey report “Recapturing a Future for Space Exploration: Life and Physical Sciences Research for a New Era“.

 

ROSES-2021 Amendment 36 releases final text and due dates for E.8 Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI), which was previously listed as “TBD” in Tables 2 and 3 of ROSES. Optional notices of intent to propose are requested by October 29, 2021, and the due date for proposals is January 10, 2022.

 

On or about September 15, 2021, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2021” (NNH21ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2021 and will appear on SARA’s ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2021/

 

Questions concerning E.8 PSI may be directed to Francis Chiaramonte at Francis.p.chiaramonte@nasa.gov and BPS-PhysicalSciences@nasaprs.com

 

NASA STEM announces virtual event

By

Sign up for a chance to attend the NASA STEM Better Together for Mission Success virtual meeting!

What?

The Office of STEM Engagement is excited to announce the NASA STEM: Better Together for Mission Success virtual meeting. (Sign up by April 28, 2021!)

The purpose of this event is to provide an experience that serves as a catalyst to establish and/or strengthen relationships between NASA and institutional researchers. Similar to a Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM), participants will be able to meet virtually and discuss potential research collaborations with mission critical NASA personnel and researchers.

NASA mission directorates and centers that will be present include the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD), NASA Langley Research Center, NASA Glenn Research Center, NASA Ames Research Center, and NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in technical, multi-center research and design technical discussions that will take place in one-on-one and concurrent small group formats, allowing for meaningful connections to be made. Below are some examples of the research topics that will be discussed (subject to change):

  • Sustainable aviation
  • Quiet supersonic flight over land
  • Future airspace
  • Advanced air mobility
  • Astrophysics (dark energy, black holes, galaxies, stars, and exoplanets)
  • Biological and physical sciences
  • Earth science
  • Heliophysics
  • Planetary science

When?

June 24, 2021, 9 AM to 5 PM

How? 

This event is only open to internal NASA participants and selected institutional researchers in the MUREP and EPSCoR projects and does not include student researchers. If you are interested in attending this meeting, please complete this participant interest form by April 28, 2021.  Those who complete the form will be notified via email if they have been granted access to register and will be provided registration information around the first week of May. Please be sure to double-check that the email address you enter on the form is accurate, as it will be used for future correspondences about the event. After your registration has been confirmed, you will receive a separate email request to sign up for the one-on-one and small group meetings with NASA researchers according to your research interests.

Complete the participant interest form by April 28, 2021. Link to the interest form: https://forms.gle/Mg8VAmHPqomoCNF37
