NASA RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT (NRA)
NASA ENERGY- AND WATER-CYCLE SPONSORED RESEARCH
NN-H-04-Z-YS-005-N
RELEASE DATE: 6/22/2004
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is announcing opportunities to participate in Earth Science Enterprise research and development activities focused on Energy- and Water-cycle research. NASA's Earth Science Enterprise's Research and Applications divisions are supporting this opportunity. Proposals are invited in multiple science research categories. For independent, "discovery-driven" projects there are four critical areas: 1) Energy- and Water-cycle; 2) Terrestrial Hydrology; 3) Land Cover Land Use Change; and 4) Water Management. Also invited are projects, consisting of cooperative, "product-driven" research that pursue Energy- and Water-cycle studies. These cooperative projects will contribute to and participate with a team to solve larger Energy- and Water-cycle questions in methods consistent with NASA's overall Earth Science strategy.
Participation in the NRA is open to all categories of domestic and foreign organizations, including educational institutions, industry, non-profit institutions, NASA research centers, and other government agencies and laboratories. This solicitation will be available electronically on the release date via the Internet at the Earth Science Enterprise Home Page: http://www.earth.nasa.gov/ under "Research Opportunities." Paper copies of the announcement will be available to those who do not have Internet access by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice-mail message. The following dates apply to this announcement:
