Instructions for Responding to NASA Research Announcements.
As prescribed in 1835.070(c), insert the following
provision:
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR RESPONDING TO NASA RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENTS
(DECEMBER
2005)
(a) General.
(1)
Proposals received in response to a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) will be
used only for evaluation purposes. NASA
does not allow a proposal, the contents of which are not available without
restriction from another source, or any unique ideas submitted in response to
an NRA to be used as the basis of a solicitation or in negotiation with other
organizations, nor is a pre-award synopsis published for individual proposals.
(2) A
solicited proposal that results in a NASA award becomes part of the record of
that transaction and may be available to the public on specific request;
however, information or material that NASA and the awardee mutually agree to
be of a privileged nature will be held in confidence to the extent permitted
by law, including the Freedom of Information Act.
(3) NRAs contain programmatic information and certain requirements which
apply only to proposals prepared in response to that particular
announcement. These instructions
contain the general proposal preparation information which applies to responses
to all NRAs.
(4) A contract, grant, cooperative agreement,
or other agreement may be used to accomplish an effort funded in response to an
NRA. NASA will determine the
appropriate award instrument. Contracts
resulting from NRAs are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the
NASA FAR Supplement. Any proposal from a
large business concern that may result in the award of a contract, which
exceeds $5,000,000 and has subcontracting possibilities should include a small
business subcontracting plan in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.219-9, Small
Business Subcontracting Plan.
(Subcontract plans for contract awards below $5,000,000, will be
negotiated after selection.) Any
resultant grants or cooperative agreements will be awarded and administered in
accordance with the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook (NPR
5800.1).
(5)
NASA does not have mandatory forms or formats for responses to NRAs; however,
it is requested that proposals conform to the guidelines in these
instructions. NASA may accept proposals
without discussion; hence, proposals should initially be as complete as
possible and be submitted on the proposers' most favorable terms.
(6)
To be considered for award, a submission must, at a minimum, present a specific
project within the areas delineated by the NRA; contain sufficient technical
and cost information to permit a meaningful evaluation; be signed by an
official authorized to legally bind the submitting organization; not merely
offer to perform standard services or to just provide computer facilities or
services; and not significantly duplicate a more specific current or pending
NASA solicitation.
(b) NRA-Specific Items. Several proposal submission items appear
in the NRA itself: the unique NRA
identifier; when to submit proposals; where to send proposals; number of copies
required; and sources for more information.
Items included in these instructions may be supplemented by the NRA.
(c) The
following information is needed to permit consideration in an objective
manner. NRAs will generally specify
topics for which additional information or greater detail is desirable. Each proposal copy shall contain all
submitted material, including a copy of the transmittal letter if it contains
substantive information.
(1) Transmittal Letter or Prefatory Material.
(i) The legal name and address of the organization and specific division
or campus identification if part of a larger organization;
(ii) A brief, scientifically valid project title intelligible to a scientifically
literate reader and suitable for use in the public press;
(iii) Type of organization: e.g., profit, nonprofit, educational, small
business, minority, women-owned, etc.;
(iv) Name and telephone number of the principal investigator and
business personnel who may be contacted during evaluation or negotiation;
(v) Identification of other organizations that are currently evaluating
a proposal for the same efforts;
(vi) Identification of the NRA, by number and title, to which the
proposal is responding;
(vii) Dollar amount requested, desired starting date, and duration of
project;
(viii) Date of submission; and
(ix) Signature of a responsible official or authorized representative of
the organization, or any other person authorized to legally bind the
organization (unless the signature appears on the proposal itself).
(2) Restriction on Use and Disclosure of Proposal Information. Information contained in proposals is used
for evaluation purposes only. Offerors
or quoters should, in order to maximize protection of trade secrets or other
information that is confidential or privileged, place the following notice on
the title page of the proposal and specify the information subject to the
notice by inserting an appropriate identification in the notice. In any event, information contained in
proposals will be protected to the extent permitted by law, but NASA assumes no
liability for use and disclosure of information not made subject to the notice.
Notice
Restriction
on Use and Disclosure of Proposal Information
The
information (data) contained in [insert page numbers or other identification]
of this proposal constitutes a trade secret and/or information that is
commercial or financial and confidential or privileged. It is furnished to the Government in confidence
with the understanding that it will not,
without permission of the offeror, be used or
disclosed other than for evaluation purposes; provided, however, that in the
event a contract (or other agreement) is awarded on the basis of this proposal
the Government shall have the right to use and disclose this information (data)
to the extent provided in the contract (or other agreement). This restriction does not limit the
Government's right to use or disclose this information (data) if obtained from
another source without restriction.
(3) Abstract. Include a concise (200-300 word if not
otherwise specified in the NRA) abstract describing the objective and the
method of approach.
(4) Project Description.
(i) The main body of the proposal shall be a detailed statement of the
work to be undertaken and should include objectives and expected significance; relation
to the present state of knowledge; and relation to previous work done on the
project and to related work in progress elsewhere. The statement should outline the plan of
work, including the broad design of experiments to be undertaken and a description
of experimental methods and procedures.
The project description should address the evaluation factors in these
instructions and any specific factors in the NRA. Any substantial collaboration with
individuals not referred to in the budget or use of consultants should be
described. Subcontracting significant
portions of a research project is discouraged.
(ii) When it is expected that the effort will require more than one
year, the proposal should cover the complete project to the extent that it can
be reasonably anticipated. Principal
emphasis should be on the first year of work, and the description should distinguish
clearly between the first year's work and work planned for subsequent years.
(5) Management Approach. For large or complex efforts involving
interactions among numerous individuals or other organizations, plans for
distribution of responsibilities and arrangements for ensuring a coordinated
effort should be described.
(6) Personnel. The principal investigator is responsible for
supervision of the work and participates in the conduct of the research
regardless of whether or not compensated under the award. A short biographical sketch of the principal
investigator, a list of principal publications and any exceptional qualifications
should be included. Omit social
security number and other personal items which do not merit consideration in
evaluation of the proposal. Give similar
biographical information on other senior professional personnel who will be directly
associated with the project. Give the
names and titles of any other scientists and technical personnel associated
substantially with the project in an advisory capacity. Universities should list the approximate
number of students or other assistants, together with information as to their
level of academic attainment. Any
special industry-university cooperative arrangements should be described.
(7) Facilities and Equipment.
(i) Describe available facilities and major items of equipment
especially adapted or suited to the proposed project, and any additional major
equipment that will be required.
Identify any Government-owned facilities, industrial plant equipment,
or special tooling that are proposed for use.
Include evidence of its availability and the cognizant Government points
of contact.
(ii) Before requesting a major item of capital equipment, the proposer
should determine if sharing or loan of equipment already within the
organization is a feasible alternative.
Where such arrangements cannot be made, the proposal should so
state. The need for items that typically
can be used for research and non-research purposes should be explained.
(8) Proposed Costs (U.S. Proposals Only).
(i) Proposals should contain cost and
technical parts in one volume: do not use separate "confidential"
salary pages. As applicable, include
separate cost estimates for salaries and wages; fringe benefits; equipment;
expendable materials and supplies; services; domestic and foreign travel; ADP
expenses; publication or page charges; consultants; subcontracts; other
miscellaneous identifiable direct costs; and indirect costs. List salaries and wages in appropriate
organizational categories (e.g., principal investigator, other scientific and
engineering professionals, graduate students, research assistants, and
technicians and other non-professional personnel). Estimate all staffing data in terms of
staff-months or fractions of full-time.
(ii) Explanatory notes should accompany
the cost proposal to provide identification and estimated cost of major
capital equipment items to be acquired; purpose and estimated number and
lengths of trips planned; basis for indirect cost computation (including date
of most recent negotiation and cognizant agency); and clarification of other
items in the cost proposal that are not self-evident. List estimated expenses as yearly
requirements by major work phases.
(iii) Allowable costs are governed by FAR Part 31 and the NASA FAR Supplement Part 1831 (and OMB Circulars A-21 for educational
institutions and A-122 for nonprofit organizations).
(iv)
Use of NASA funds--NASA funding may not be
used for foreign research efforts at any level, whether as a collaborator or a
subcontract. The direct purchase of
supplies and/or services, which do not constitute research, from non-U.S.
sources by U.S.
award recipients is permitted.
Additionally, in accordance with the National Space
Transportation Policy, use of a non-U.S. manufactured launch vehicle is
permitted only on a no-exchange-of-funds basis.
(9) Security. Proposals should not contain security classified
material. If the research requires access
to or may generate security classified information, the submitter will be
required to comply with Government security regulations.
(10) Current Support. For other current projects being conducted
by the principal investigator, provide title of project, sponsoring agency, and
ending date.
(11) Special Matters.
(i) Include any required statements of environmental impact of the
research, human subject or animal care provisions, conflict of interest, or on
such other topics as may be required by the nature of the effort and current
statutes, executive orders, or other current Government-wide guidelines.
(ii)
Identify and discuss risk factors and issues throughout the proposal where they
are relevant, and your approach to managing these risks.
(iii)
Proposers should include a brief description of the organization, its facilities,
and previous work experience in the field of the proposal. Identify the cognizant Government audit
agency, inspection agency, and administrative contracting officer, when
applicable.
(d) Renewal Proposals.
(1)
Renewal proposals for existing awards will be considered in the same manner as
proposals for new endeavors. A renewal proposal
should not repeat all of the information that was in the
original proposal.
The renewal proposal should refer to its predecessor, update the parts
that are no longer current, and indicate what elements of the research are
expected to be covered during the period for which support is desired. A description of any significant findings
since the most recent progress report should be included. The renewal proposal should treat, in reasonable
detail, the plans for the next period, contain a cost estimate, and otherwise
adhere to these instructions.
(2)
NASA may renew an effort either through amendment of an existing contract or by
a new award.
(e) Length.
Unless otherwise specified in the NRA, effort should be made to keep
proposals as brief as possible, concentrating on substantive material. Few proposals need exceed 15-20 pages. Necessary detailed information, such as
reprints, should be included as attachments.
A complete set of attachments is necessary for each copy of the proposal. As proposals are not returned, avoid use of
"one-of-a-kind" attachments.
(f) Joint Proposals.
(1)
Where multiple organizations are involved, the proposal may be submitted by
only one of them. It should clearly
describe the role to be played by the other organizations and indicate the
legal and managerial arrangements contemplated. In other instances, simultaneous submission
of related proposals from each organization might be appropriate, in which case
parallel awards would be made.
(2) Where a project of a cooperative nature
with NASA is contemplated, describe the contributions expected from any
participating NASA investigator and agency facilities or equipment which may
be required. The proposal must be
confined only to that which the proposing organization can commit itself. "Joint" proposals which specify the
internal arrangements NASA will actually make are not acceptable as a means of
establishing an agency commitment.
(g) Late Proposals. Proposals or proposal modifications
received after the latest date specified for receipt may be considered if a
significant reduction in cost to the Government is probable or if there are
significant technical advantages, as compared with proposals previously
received.
(h) Withdrawal.
Proposals may be withdrawn by the proposer at any time before
award. Offerors are requested to notify
NASA if the proposal is funded by another organization or of other changed
circumstances which dictate termination of evaluation.
(i) Evaluation Factors.
(1)
Unless otherwise specified in the NRA, the principal elements (of approximately
equal weight) considered in evaluating a proposal are its relevance to NASA's
objectives, intrinsic merit, and cost.
(2)
Evaluation of a proposal's relevance to NASA's objectives includes the consideration
of the potential contribution of the effort to NASA's mission.
(3)
Evaluation of its intrinsic merit includes the consideration of the following
factors of equal importance:
(i) Overall scientific or technical merit of the proposal or unique and
innovative methods, approaches, or concepts demonstrated by the proposal.
(ii) Offeror's capabilities, related experience, facilities, techniques,
or unique combinations of these which are integral factors for achieving the
proposal objectives.
(iii) The qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the proposed
principal investigator, team leader, or key personnel critical in achieving the
proposal objectives.
(iv) Overall standing among similar
proposals and/or evaluation against the state-of-the-art.
(4)
Evaluation of the cost of a proposed effort may include the realism and
reasonableness of the proposed cost and available funds.
(j) Evaluation Techniques. Selection decisions will be made following
peer and/or scientific review of the proposals. Several evaluation techniques are regularly
used within NASA. In all cases proposals
are subject to scientific review by discipline specialists in the area of the
proposal. Some proposals are reviewed entirely in-house, others are evaluated
by a combination of in-house and selected external reviewers, while yet others
are subject to the full external peer review technique (with due regard for conflict-of-interest
and protection of proposal information), such as by mail or through assembled
panels. The final decisions are made by
a NASA selecting official. A proposal
which is scientifically and programmatically meritorious, but not selected for
award
during its initial review, may be included in
subsequent reviews unless the proposer requests otherwise.
(k) Selection for Award.
(1)
When a proposal is not selected for award, the proposer will be notified.
NASA will explain generally why the proposal was not selected. Proposers desiring additional information
may contact the selecting official who will arrange a debriefing.
(2)
When a proposal is selected for award, negotiation and award will be handled by
the procurement office in the funding installation. The proposal is used as the basis for
negotiation. The contracting officer
may request certain business data and may forward a model award instrument
and other information pertinent to negotiation.
(l) Additional Guidelines
Applicable to Foreign Proposals and Proposals Including Foreign Participation.
(1) NASA
welcomes proposals from outside the U.S. However, foreign entities are generally not
eligible for funding from NASA. Therefore, unless otherwise noted in the NRA,
proposals from foreign entities should not include a cost plan unless the
proposal involves collaboration with a U.S.
institution, in which case a cost plan for only the participation of the U.S.
entity must be included. Proposals from
foreign entities and proposals from U.S. entities that include foreign
participation must be endorsed by the respective government agency or
funding/sponsoring institution in the country from which the foreign entity is
proposing. Such endorsement should
indicate that the proposal merits careful consideration by NASA, and if the
proposal is selected, sufficient funds will be made available to undertake the
activity as proposed.
(2) All foreign proposals must be typewritten in English
and comply with all other submission requirements stated in the NRA. All foreign proposals will undergo the same
evaluation and selection process as those originating in the U.S. All proposals must be received before the
established closing date. Those received
after the closing date will be treated in accordance with paragraph (g) of this
provision. Sponsoring foreign government
agencies or funding institutions may,
in exceptional situations, forward a proposal without endorsement if endorsement
is not possible before the announced closing date. In such cases, the NASA sponsoring office
should be advised when a decision on endorsement can be expected.
(3)
Successful and unsuccessful foreign entities will be contacted directly
by the NASA sponsoring office. Copies of
these letters will be sent to the foreign
sponsor. Should a foreign proposal or a U.S.
proposal with foreign participation be selected, NASA's Office of External
Relations will arrange with the foreign sponsor for the proposed participation
on a no-exchange-of-funds basis, in which NASA and the non-U.S. sponsoring
agency or funding institution will each bear the cost of discharging their
respective responsibilities.
(4) Depending on the nature and extent of the
proposed cooperation, these arrangements
may entail:
(i) An exchange of letters between NASA and
the foreign sponsor; or
(ii) A formal Agency-to-Agency Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU).
(m) Cancellation of NRA. NASA reserves the right to make no awards
under this NRA and to cancel this NRA.
NASA assumes no liability for canceling the NRA or for anyone's failure
to receive actual notice of cancellation.
