Supporting research in science and technology is animportant part of NASA's overall mission. NASA solicits thisresearch through the release of various research announcementsin a wide range of science and technology disciplines. NASAuses a peer review process to evaluate and select researchproposals submitted in response to these researchannouncements. Researchers can help NASA achieve nationalresearch objectives by submitting research proposals andconducting awarded research.
NSPIRES now allow users to SEARCH for and view Proposals and NOIs due in 30 days, FUTURE, and OPEN, CLOSED/PASTNASA research announcements. The full text of the Solicitation Announcements and information about selected proposals, if available, can be viewed and downloaded.
Solicitations and selected proposals for years prior toNSPIRES implementation, January 1, 2005, were posted manually;therefore, some postings for years 2000-2004 may not be ascomplete as those posted through the NSPIRES system from 2005to the present.
To submit a research proposal to NASA, individuals andthe organizations with which they are affiliated must beregistered in NSPIRES. Individuals may register at any time. Organizations are required to have a valid registrationwith the System forAward Management (SAM) before they canregister in NSPIRES.
Organizations that would like to register with NSPIRES arerequired to have a valid registration with the System forAward Management (SAM). Once the organization has a SAMrecord, the listed Organization Point of Contact mustregister as a user with NSPIRES, log on, then begin theorganization registration process.
Purpose(s): 1. To store and evaluate proposals or other information related to participation in NASA opportunities, i.e., to compete for or receive funding, e.g., assistance, i.e., grants or cooperative agreements, acquisitions, and Space Act Agreements, including for projects conducted on a no-exchange-of-funds basis. 2. To identify, invite, and when applicable, pay, subject matter experts (a) to serve as reviewers in a NASA merit review or related processes; (b) to apply for a NASA position or NASA-related position; and/or (c) to attend a NASA meeting or participate in another type of engagement. 3. To study progress and results of NASA activities for program management, evaluation, or public reporting.

Dear Colleagues,
Recently, some of you may have received an email from the CFI Group on behalf of NASA. This message asked you to complete a survey for users of NASA Earth science data and services, which includes the Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS). The CDDIS is one of twelve NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) science data centers evaluated by this survey. The purpose of this survey is to help NASA and the DAACs assess customer satisfaction and improve future services. Suggestions from past surveys have been implemented to improve the tools and services offered by the CDDIS.
Please participate! Your feedback affects our future performance and helps to identify science needs. You will be able to take the survey for each DAAC you use. This is your opportunity to influence the priorities of the DAACs, including CDDIS.
If you did not receive a survey and wish to complete one or know of someone who uses CDDIS and/or EOSDIS data and services who did not receive a survey, please contact
surve...@cfigroup.com.
The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) is the only national cross-industry measure of customer satisfaction in the United States. NASA commissioned the CFI Group, an independent research and consulting organization, to conduct a brief survey to rate the products and services NASA currently provides from NASA's EOSDIS data centers. Please consider responding to this survey; your input will help us to better serve our user community.
Presentations of these results given to NASA Earth science are available at:
Thank you in advance to all of you who are willing to spend a few minutes to complete the survey.
Beginning Monday, August 29, 2022: In order to correct a format error by CDDIS and make it match the current expected format of MD5 and SHA512 checksum utilities, the CDDIS will reformat all existing MD5SUMS and SHA512SUMS checksum files, switching from to . Thank you for your patience while we complete this work. For questions and concerns, please contact us at suppor...@earthdata.nasa.gov
NASA is pleased to offer travel grants to support participation from US-basedresearchers in the 2024 LISA Symposium, being held in Dublin, Ireland this July. Students,early-career researchers, and those from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged toapply. More information here
NASA is seeking applicants for positions on the LISA Science Team, a community body which will support the ESA andNASA project teams through the development and opertions of the LISA mission. Applications are due April 16th. Details canbe found on the Physics of the Cosmos webpage [link].
The Science Program Committee of the European Space Agency (ESA) has formally Adopted LISA as a flightproject. (ESA announcement) Thismajor milestone clears the way for LISA to proceed into the implementation phase as a partnership between ESA andNASA. (NASAAnnouncement)
After more than a decade of observations, a group of pulsar timing array collaborations simultaneously announced evidence for a background ofgravitational waves in the nanohertz band. The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav), the European Pulsar Timing Array(EPTA), the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA), and Chinese Pulsar Timing Array (CPTA) published their analysis in a series of peer-reviewed papers. The likelysource of this background is the inspiral and merger of many supermassive black hole binaries.
The scientific program for the 14th international LISA Symposium is now available online. The all-virtual symposium will feature plenary and contributed talks across the full spectrum of LISA and LISA-relatedscience including mission updates, instrumentation, data analysis, astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. Registration is free.
Following a successful Mission Formulation Review in Fall 2021, the European Space Agency has advanced LISA to Phase B1.During this phase, the detailed mission design and final technology demonstrations will be completed. The next major milestone is Mission Adoption, currentlyplanned for 2024.
LISA Symposium 14 is being hosted by the University of Glasgow and the UK Astronomy Technology Centre, Edinburgh. The meeting is fully online and there is noregistration fee. Participation is welcomed from LISA enthusiasts across the globe and at all career stages. Note that abstract submission will open on April1st 2022.
Selections for the second set of LISA Preparatory Science (LPS) awards have been announced! The LPS program supports US-based researchers to conduct research activities related to LISA, and is added to the initial cohort of programs selected in 2018. A summary of all the approved programs is available onNSPIRES, and the full list of LPS selection can be found on our Community: LPS page.
