NSPIRES Quick Reference Guide for JCAers
All PIs and co-Is on many
NASA proposals need to be registered with the
NSPIRES system.
In order to be formally submitted via the NSPIRES system, you must
click the "release to ORG" button once you have finished filling
out that necessary proposal details. The proposal is then
reviewed by
UMBC OSP personnel, and 'submitted' (by OSP)
if all the information is correct.
In order to do this OSP will usually require additional information
(most often a completed & signed UMBC Routing Form:
see solicitation-specific sections
for more information).
It is important that members of the JCA
have the correct information
in their NSPIRES profiles
(such as their affiliation, addresses etc).
OSP may refuse to submit the proposal if crucial information
is incorrect, missing or out-of-date.

What to enter for most of the
NSPIRES
entries is obvious. Below are a few FAQs for first-time JCAers, and
for some of the less obvious changes etc that may have to be made:
Registration to NSPIRES
Use the
"Registration Information" link on the the
NSPIRES home page.
The procedure is fairly straightforward and painless, however JCA members
must remember to make their affiliation
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE COUNTY
(note no comma).
No other affiliation is allowed:
Those JCA members working at GSFC
should make "NASA/GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER" an "association" in the
NSPIRES system.
Affiliations, Addresses etc for JCAers
JCA members must use
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE COUNTY
as their affiliation (note no comma) irrespective
of where they are physically located.
No other affiliation or qualifiers are allowed.
Only civil servants can use NASA/GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER
as their affiliation. Those JCA members working at GSFC or elsewhere
can make that other location an "association" in the NSPIRES system.

UMBC's OSP may refuse, or even not be able to sign-off on your proposal
if you have an incorrect affiliation.

Changing an Erroneous Affiliation etc
Those of you with existing
NSPIRES
account, can change erroneous affiliation information as follows:
- Log into
NSPIRES.
- Go to "Account Management"
- Go to "Affiliations"
- Hit "Add Affiliation" (bottom right)
- Select to search by CAGE code (Right-hand pull-down),
enter 1CDP0 into the left-hand field, and hit search.
- This should bring up the UMBC info (with a "DBA" of UMBC/R41), which
should then be selected.
You should also check that you have the correct & appropriate
information in you NSPIRES "Address Book". Specifically,
- If you use a UMBC address for Courier Shipping & Mailing, then make sure
you specify the Physics Department in the appropriate fields,
including in the "Suite/Apt.#/Mail Stop" field
(so couriers etc know where to deliver).
Clearly you are free to use an appropriate work address elsewhere for these
fields.
