Subject: Release of NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in 
Fundamental Physics"

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released 
NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH11ZTT001N, entitled "Research 
Opportunities in Fundamental Physics." This NRA solicits fundamental 
physics research proposals from U.S. investigators to participate in 
planned European Space Agency (ESA) research activities on the 
International Space Station (ISS). These ESA activities are the Space 
Optical Clock (SOC) project, the Quantum Weak Equivalence Principle 
(QWEP) project, and the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) project.

The full text of the solicitation is available on the NASA Research 
Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com under menu listing 
"Open Solicitations." Potential applicants are urged to access this site 
well in advance of the proposal due date to familiarize themselves with 
its structure and to register in the system. Proposals solicited through 
this NRA will use a two-step proposal process. Proposers must show a 
clear connection between their proposed activities to the planned ESA 
SOC or QWEP or ACES ISS projects. Only Step-1 proposers determined to be 
relevant with respect to the Research Emphases outlined in this NRA will 
be invited to submit full Step-2 proposals. Step-2 proposals must be 
compliant with respect to all sections of this NRA or they will be 
declined without review. Proposals must be submitted electronically. 
Step-1 Proposers can use either NSPIRES (see URL above) or Grants.gov 
(http://www.grants.gov ) for proposal submission. Invited Step-2 
Proposals must be submitted electronically via the NSPIRES proposal data 
system.

Step-1 proposals are due September 7, 2011. Step-2 proposals are due 
November 4, 2011.

All categories of U.S. institutions are eligible to submit proposals in 
response to this NRA. Principal Investigators (PIs) may collaborate with 
investigators from universities, Federal Government laboratories, the 
private sector, state and local government laboratories and other 
countries.

Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this 
NRA must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify 
the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the 
electronic proposal. Instructions on how to register in NSPIRES is 
described in the NRA. Each electronic proposal system places 
requirements on the registration of principal investigators and other 
participants (e.g. co-investigators). Questions in regards to responding 
to this NRA may be addressed to the contacts referenced in the full 
solicitation document.

This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 6.102 (d)(2). 
Notwithstanding the posting of this opportunity at FedBizOpps.gov, 
nspires.nasaprs.com, or Grants.gov, NASA reserves the right to determine 
the appropriate award instrument for each proposal selected pursuant to 
this announcement.
