The ROSES 2011 program is planning to administer grant amounts ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the extent of the proposed project's activities.

The awards will then be given in the form of grants, cooperative agreements, intra- or inter-agency transfers, all depending on the nature of the submitting organization.

Interested institutions are required to submit their proposals and applications electronically to the NSPIRE or Grants.gov website. Deadline for such submission will be on November 22, 2011.

Interested investigators will be qualified to participate to the ROSES 2011 program when they are affiliated with any of the following:

a) educational, industrial, and non-profit organizations

b) Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs)

c) University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs)

d) NASA Centers

e) Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL)
