DRAFT Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute Cooperative Agreement Notice-5 (SSERVI CAN-5)The Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute Cooperative Agreement Notice-5 (SSERVI CAN-5), solicitation number NNH26ZDA013J, issued by NASA's Science Mission Directorate, invites proposals for multidisciplinary research and workforce development initiatives aligned with NASA’s solar system exploration goals. Submission follows a two-step process: a Step-1 proposal, which is mandatory for eligibility to submit a full Step-2 proposal, serves as a preliminary, anonymous summary requiring only the Principal Investigator’s details, team members, project title, and a brief description. Step-1 proposals are treated as competition-sensitive and must be submitted through NSPIRES, with all participating individuals and institutions preregistered in NSPIRES and the System for Award Management (SAM), a process that may take up to 30 days. Step-2 proposals must be structured into three required PDF volumes—Volume A (anonymized technical content), Volume B (non-anonymized administrative and personnel information), and a separate total budget file—with an optional fourth file for High-End Computing resource requests. Volume A is limited to 55 pages total across sections including the Executive Summary, Research Plan, Open Science and Data Management Plan, Workforce Development Plan, Fieldwork Plan, and Citizen Science/Science Activation Plan, all subject to strict formatting rules including font size, margins, and character density. Evaluation is based on a trade-off methodology, with Volume A carrying 100% of the technical score weighted toward Scientific and Technical Merit (70%), Workforce Development (15%), and Citizen Science/Science Activation (15%). Volume B is assessed qualitatively and non-additively; deficiencies here may disqualify otherwise strong proposals, even if Volume A scores highly. Key compliance elements include disclosure of foreign collaboration via endorsed letters, exclusion of any involvement with China or Chinese-owned entities, reporting of current and pending support using NASA SciEncv format, completion of research security training for senior personnel, and adherence to data management standards under 2 CFR 200.455 and NASA’s FAIR data principles. All proposals must be submitted electronically by the NSPIRES deadline, with no physical submissions accepted. Funding is estimated at $9 million over five years, with awards anticipated approximately 12 months after the Step-2 deadline, and applicants assume all financial risk for costs incurred prior to the official award start date.
