- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is seeking partners from other government agencies, industry, academia, non-profit organizations, and Federal Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC) to participate with LaRC Investigators in developing proposals addressing the goals and objectives of the NASA Research Announcement entitled, "Applied Information Systems Research (Solicitation # NNH05ZDA001N-AISR)." The AISR program seeks innovative ideas for applying advances in information science and technology to increase life cycle effectiveness and efficiency of the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) research endeavors across all of its science programs. AISR supports the application of emerging information technologies, concepts, methodologies, etc. to demonstrate their feasibility and potential science return, as well as informing missions and research disciplines of promising techniques and capabilities worthy of broader application and/or further development through full maturity. The specific goals of the AISR program are to: Investigate novel information technologies and computational methods that have the potential to increase productivity of the SMD research endeavors, and which would extend the state-of-the-practice in those endeavors; Demonstrate the degree of relevance, applicability, and potential impact of emerging information technologies to SMD missions and programs; and Foster interdisciplinary collaborations that span the space science, Earth science, and computer science disciplines. Background information and abstracts for current investigations in the AISR program can be found on-line at NASA LaRC is seeking partners to participate with the NASA LaRC Principal Investigator (PI) in the AISR Program to develop proposals. This partnering opportunity does not guarantee selection for award of any contracts or other agreements, nor is it to be construed as a commitment by NASA to pay for the information solicited. It is expected that the partner(s) selected would provide (at no cost to NASA) conceptual designs, technical data, proposal input, project schedules and cost estimates consistent with the requirements of the NRA. Potential partners must demonstrate the capabilities and experience with the efforts synopsized for each intended LaRC proposal. Partners must work collaboratively with NASA and other potential industry and academic partners to perform the required tasks. Partner selection(s) will be made by LaRC based on the following criteria in the following order of importance: (1) Relevant experience, past performance, technical capability and availability of key personnel. This criterion evaluates the proposers' relevant recent experience, past performance in similar development activities, technical capability to perform the development and key personnel available to support the development. Substantive evidence (points of contact and telephone numbers) of successful participation in similar developments should be included. (2) Cost and schedule control This criterion evaluates the proposers' ability to control both cost and schedule. The proposer should provide evidence of successfully controlling cost and schedule for similar development programs and provide evidence of management processes in this area. (3) Facilities This criterion evaluates the proposers' facilities (development, testing, and analyses) to conduct the development or demonstration of the proposed task. The proposer should discuss facility availability, access, and the ability to meet the proposed objectives. Responses should be limited to 5 pages (12 point font) and address each of the criteria. All responses should be sent to: NASA Langley Research Center, Attn: Rosemary R. Baize, Mail Stop 420, Hampton, VA 23681. The preferred method of submission is via email to: Rosemary.R.Baize@nasa.gov. The due date for submission is by 5pm EST on July 15, 2005. Technical questions should be addressed to the technical point of contact indicated below. "Calculations to Permit Chemical Speciation from X-ray Emission Spectra" - Technical POC Warren C. Kelliher (757) 864-4172 For this proposal, NASA LaRC is seeking partners with the following skills: 1) ability to develop the software to provide deconvolution of chemical speciation from X-ray Emission Spectra. 2) ability to produce very high resolution spectra of a variety of well-characterized geological samples for testing of above software. http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?method=init&solId={FC92683F- DA99-D0F7-735A-E90F981C8184}&path=open .
