Below are links to guidelines, instructions etc for various Guest Observer (GO) proposals, explaining the steps required for JCA members. NASA's policies and procedures regarding grants etc can be found in the Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook. See below for information regarding:
NSPIRES-related InformationMany (all?) NASA proposals now require an NSPIRES submission, which is separate to the regular submission using RPS etc. You (and your co-Is) have to be a registered user of NSPIRES to submit.In the case of "Phase-1" observing proposals (i.e. those without a budget) only an "NSPIRES Cover Page" needs to be submitted. All proposals with budgets require additional details to be submitted via NSPIRES. Once the NSPIRES details have been entered,you have to click on "release to ORG" (Note: The proposal is then "locked", and no changes can be made). Action is then required on the part of UMBC's Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to actually submit it. Usually this requires you to fill out a UMBC OSP Proposal Routing form. Don't leave all this until 1 minute before the deadline! Alas currently still have to fill in much of the same information via other systems (eg "RPS") for many of the solicitations.Instructions/Details for Specific AnnouncementsBelow are links giving details for a the most popular NASA missions for JCA members. Let the JCA Director know if you intend to propose in response to an announcement not listed below (& dont know what to do).
