About this opportunity
This Award Notice from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announces the Discovery 2014 Announcement of Opportunity to fund Principal Investigator-led space science investigations relevant to planetary science. The Discovery Program seeks proposals for space missions to advance understanding of the content, origin, and evolution of the solar system, with the goal of selecting at least one Discovery mission to proceed into Phase B and subsequent mission phases. Participation is open to all categories of organizations, with proposals due according to the dates and guidelines provided in the Announcement and on the Discovery Program website.

This is a modification to the synopsis entitled Announcement of Opportunity Discovery 2014 Announcement of Opportunity which was posted on November 5, 2014. You are notified that the following changes are made:
With this Amendment, the NASA Announcement of Opportunity (AO) NNH14ZDA014O, Discovery 2014, has been amended to 1. Shift the due date for electronic proposals from February 16, 2015, to February 18, 2015, 2. Add a requirement for color-coding of export-controlled material in the body of the proposal to Requirement 92, and 3. Modify Requirement B-77 to remove the requirement that an estimated cost for the Engineering Science Investigation be included in proposal Appendix J.14.
The deadline for the submission of electronic proposals has been changed to February 18, 2015 due to the observance of the Federal holiday of Washingtons Birthday on February 16, 2015. Concomitantly, the deadline for the submission of proposals on CD-ROM has been changed to February 25, 2015.
To ease the identification and, if necessary, the redaction of export controlled information, any such information contained in proposals shall be color-coded: export control information shall be printed in a red font and figure(s) and table(s) containing such information shall be placed in a red-bordered box. Requirement 92 has been updated to reflect this.
To eliminate a conflict between the language of Section 5.1.8 of the final AO, and Requirement B-77, the provision of [e]stimated cost impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed ESI [Engineering Science Investigation] will not be required. Requirement B-77 has been modified to reflect this.
On or about January 15, 2015, this Amendment to the NASA Announcement of Opportunity Discovery 2014 (NNH14ZDA014O) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ (select Solicitations then Open Solicitations then NNH14ZDA014O).
Comments and questions may be addressed in writing or by E-mail to: Dr. Michael H. New, Discovery Program Lead Scientist, Planetary Science Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: michael.h.new@nasa.gov (subject line to read Discovery 2014 AO); Phone: 202-358-1766; FAX: 202-358-3097.
Responses to all inquiries will be answered by E-mail and also posted to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) location of the Discovery Program Acquisition website at http://discovery.larc.nasa.gov/ ; anonymity of persons and institutions who submit questions will be preserved.
Update #1 ·
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is releasing a Discovery 2014 Announcement of Opportunity (NNH14ZDA004O). The Discovery Program conducts Principal Investigator (PI)-led space science investigations relevant to SMD's planetary science programs. Discovery Program investigations must address NASAs strategic objective to ascertain the content, origin, and evolution of the Solar System and the potential for life elsewhere.
Upon release, the full text of the AO and all appendices will be available electronically at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ . A preproposal conference will be held in November 2014; see http://discovery.larc.nasa.gov/ for details.
Participation is open to all categories of organizations or institutions, U.S. or non-U.S., including educational, industrial, and not-for-profit institutions, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), NASA Centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and other Government agencies.
NASA expects to select at least one Discovery mission to proceed into Phase B and subsequent mission phases.
This AO incorporates a number of changes relative to the previous Discovery Program AO and to the Draft Discovery 2014 AO. All proposers must read this AO carefully, and all proposals must comply with the requirements, constraints, and guidelines contained within the AO.
Comments and questions may be addressed in writing or by E-mail to: Dr. Michael H. New, Discovery Program Lead Scientist, Planetary Science Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001; E-mail: michael.h.new@nasa.gov (subject line to read Discovery 2014 AO); Phone: 202-358-1766; FAX: 202-358-3097.
Responses to all inquiries will be answered by E-mail and also posted to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) location of the Discovery Program Acquisition website at http://discovery.larc.nasa.gov/ ; anonymity of persons and institutions who submit questions will be preserved.
This notice constitutes a NASA Research Announcement as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2).
