Dear Colleagues,

This letter summarizes the new due dates for NASA Science Mission Directorate Research program because of the time lost to the shutdown.

All of the official documents associated with our solicitations are posted on http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ but, for your convenience, all of the changes to our due dates (with links to the official NSPIRES program pages) are posted in one place on the SARA web page at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/ and I will reproduce the current set below:

Appendix C.12 of ROSES 13, the Mars Data Analysis Program, proposals are now due Wednesday, October 23, 2013

Appendix C.11 of ROSES 13, Planetary Mission Analysis Program, proposals are now due Monday, October 28, 2013

Appendix B.5 of ROSES 13, Heliophysics Grand Challenges Step-2 proposals are now due Thursday, October 31, 2013

Appendix C.7 of ROSES 13, Outer Planets Research proposals are now due Friday, November 15, 2013

Appendix A.11 of ROSES 13, Ocean Vector Winds Science Team, proposals are now due Friday, November 15, 2013

NASA Astrobiology Institute CAN Step-1 proposals are now due Monday, November 18, 2013

NASA Astrobiology Institute CAN Step-2 proposals are now due Wednesday, February 19, 2014

Earth Venture Instrument-2 (Appendix M of SALMON-2) proposals are now due November 25, 2013

Mars 2020 Pre-Proposal Conference is now Monday, October 28, 2013

Mars 2020 NOI are now due Monday, November 4, 2013

Mars 2020 proposals are now due Wednesday, January 15, 2014

Responses to the RFIs on Sustainable Land Imaging Architecture Study and also Lessons Learned from Recent Planetary Science Division AOs are now both due by November 1, 2013.

Finally, there will likely be delay (of ~two weeks) in the due date for proposals to the NASA postdoctoral fellowship program announced later this week, but that has not yet been determined. Once that has been established we will post it on the SARA web page and it will also appear at http://nasa.orau.org/

Thank you,

SARA
