Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit proposals to participate within the Solid Earth and Natural Hazards (SENH) research and applications program of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE). This NRA seeks proposals for the implementation of the ESE strategy for solid Earth science ( http://www.earth.nasa.gov/visions/researchstrat/Research_Strategy.htm ) spanning the spectrum from research and data analysis to applications of ESE products by the end user. The primary objective of this NRA is to enhance the ability of the science community to answer specific scientific questions identified with the ESE research strategy. The NRA also seeks proposals that extend the benefits of science, data, and technology developed within the SENH program to the broader user community via applications. The Enterprise is applying ESE science, data, and technology developed by the scientific community to end users in the federal, state, and local governments, and tribal communities. This NRA also seeks proposals for the data analysis, scientific research and modeling studies in support of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) mission. NASA and its partner, the German Space Agency (DLR), expect to launch GRACE in early 2002. NASA is specifically interested in the development and verification of models related to the static and dynamic components of the Earth's gravity field and the associated determination of mass distribution within the Earth system. Scientific data from the GRACE mission is expected to become available in late-2002 pending the successful launch and commissioning of the GRACE satellites. The NRA will be available electronically on the release date, via the Internet at the Research Opportunities Online ''Home Page'' at " http://research.hq.nasa.gov/ '' under ''Office of Earth Science (Code Y) ''. A paper copy will be available to those who do not have access to Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message. This announcement will be open for the period from November 20 , 2001 through February 4, 2002, and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout that period. Notice of Intent to Propose due December 21, 2001. POC: Dr. John L. LaBrecque, Manager Solid Earth and Natural Hazards Program Tel: 202/358-1373 Fax: 202/358-2770 Email: labrecq@hq.nasa.gov
