+ | NASA Astrophysics has basically three types of funding opportunities for astrophysics: | ||
+ | |||
+ | (1) Programs administered by NASA Headquarters, | ||
+ | |||
+ | (2) Mission-specific programs administered by the mission operational centers (e.g., Space Telescope Science Institute) and solicited for observing “cycles, | ||
+ | |||
+ | (3) Mission or mission-participation opportunities solicited through specific Announcements of Opportunity through the Explorer Program, with typically one such solicitation every few years. These are long-term programs funded at levels exceeding $100M. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The 2014 Astrophysics Research Program funded through ROSES includes the following elements: | ||
+ | |||
+ | (1) Astrophysics Research and Analysis | ||
+ | |||
+ | (2) Astrophysics Theory | ||
+ | |||
+ | (3) Swift Guest Investigator Program | ||
+ | |||
+ | (4) Fermi Guest Investigator Program | ||
+ | |||
+ | (5) Kepler Guest Investigator Program | ||
+ | |||
+ | (6) Strategic Astrophysics Technology | ||
+ | |||
+ | (7) Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowships for Early Career Researchers | ||
+ | |||
+ | In addition, exoplanet research and education and public outreach programs are funded as cross-divisional research. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Funding levels for these various programs can range from around $100k to $1M per year, depending on their scope. Programs are typically selected for 3 years of funding, and up to 5 years in some cases. | ||
