A NASA Research Announcement (NRA), entitled Research Opportunities in
Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2006, solicits basic and applied
research in support of the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD;
http://science.hq.nasa.gov/). This NRA covers all aspects of basic and
applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences.
One of the program elements within this NRA is for International Polar
Year projects in education and public outreach (Solicitation A.24).
The primary objective of program element A.24 is to engage, inform, and
inspire diverse public audiences by sharing knowledge about polar
science and its global connections during IPY and by communicating
NASA's unique contributions from space to recent advances in Arctic and
Antarctic research and climate science. A secondary objective is to
extend the spirit of polar exploration and discovery to the poles of the
Moon, Mars, and other planets of our solar system and to help attract
and educate the next generation of scientists and engineers.
The due date for proposals is Monday, 8 January 2007.
