The final text for ROSES-2015 Program Element C.10 The Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists (CDAPS) Program has been posted. The solicitation has been restructured and the prior version has been replaced in its entirety.

The major changes are:

1) The Participating Scientist proposal is now separate from a parent Data Analysis proposal. Step-2 Participating Scientist submissions now require their own fifteen-page proposal that is accompanied by a five-page appendix on the Relevance to the Cassini Participating
Scientist Program.

2) Only those Participating Scientist proposals that demonstrate the need for future mission data for achieving successful closure of the scientific objectives are eligible for selection.

The proposal due dates remain unchanged.
Step-1 proposals are still due by June 1, 2015.
Step-2 proposals are due by August 18, 2015.

All potential proposers are strongly urged to carefully read the entire amended call, the Frequently Asked Questions, and all other supporting documentation. These documents may be found on the NSPIRES web page for ROSES-2015 Program Element C.10 CDAPS at:
