The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024 (OMB Approval Number 2700-0092, CFDA Number 43.001) on February 14, 2024. In this case "omnibus" means that this NRA has many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. All together these cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by SMD. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. However, most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants, and many program elements of ROSES specifically exclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. In most cases, organizations of every type, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign (with some caveats), may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Tables listing the program elements and due dates (Tables 2 and 3), a table that provides a very top level summary of proposal contents (Table 1), and the full text of the ROSES-2024 "Summary of Solicitation", may all be found NSPIRES at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024. This synopsis is associated with one of the individual program elements within ROSES, but this is a generic summary that is posted for all ROSES elements.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals to identify and optimize novel molecules that exhibit inhibitory effects on Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) gene editing processes. The Broad-Spectrum Antagonists for Editors (B-SAFE) program is explicitly seeking transformative approaches enabling the discovery or design of novel inhibitors of gene editing technologies with enhanced activity, utility, and breadth of coverage. Novel inhibitor activity will be assessed in vitro over the course of the program and a subset of top performing molecules will be selected for scale-up at quantities sufficient for testing and evaluation by Department of Defense (DoD) stakeholders. In concert, DARPA is interested in exploring methods to rapidly discover inhibitor molecules for novel gene editing technologies beyond CRISPR-Cas systems to keep pace with the rapidly advancing field and promote the safe, controlled use of these technologies. Research that generates incremental improvements to the existing state-of-the-art are specifically excluded.

The United States Agency for International Development Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (USAID/DRC) is gathering information to develop health financing, governance, and information systems activities in support of the DRCs strategic plan for 2021-2030 towards universal health coverage (UHC). The purpose of the Health Financing, Governance and Information Systems (HFG/IS) activity is to strengthen national and select provincial governments capacity to identify and act upon key levers for resource mobilization and for reductions in household catastrophic health expenditures, to identify and respond to gaps in equity, quality, and coverage of health services, to strengthen citizens capacity to hold government accountable for health services, and to foster collaborative learning. Targeted systems strengthening include efforts to improve the resilience and capacity of the public health system to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious disease threats with a one health approach. USAID envisions that this activity will strengthen the role of citizens, women, and marginalized groups in the design, delivery, monitoring, and accountability of health services, which in turn fosters trust in the health system and sustainability. Recognizing the interdependence of governance, financing, and information, this activity supports a targeted, synergistic approach to complement the USAID Integrated Health Services Delivery Accelerator and USAID Sant Gouvernance Activities. Provincial-level interventions will focus on the 8 provinces of implementation for these Activities (Kasai Central, Kasai Oriental, Haut-Katanga, Haut- Lomami, Lomani, Lualaba, Tanganyika, and Sud-Kivu), be coordinated to promote synergies and avoid duplication of efforts, and contribute to a broader learning agenda to foster adoption of best practices and national scale-up. USAID envisions a well-planned collaborative learning agenda for this Activity and commitment to gender and social inclusion principles.

To support Nigeria’s Global Methane Pledge commitments to better monitor, reduce, and harness methane emissions towards its 2031 goal of reducing fugitive methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by 61 percent. Approach. Methane abatement is an emerging field for USAID/Nigeria, and we aim to tap into the expertise of local organizations and private companies already active in this sector to co-design a project that mitigates current and/or projected methane emissions in Nigeria. USAID/Nigeria encourages concepts with innovative or pilot approaches that use or develop tools, methods and/or business models to promote practices. We look for a partner who understands the current landscape of actors and proposes a concept that works within existing systems and government agencies to avoid duplication while engaging regularly with the oil and gas sector to ensure sustainability. A successful concept will focus on methane abatement, but will suggest holistic ways to support the environment that has been negatively impacted due to climate change and the oil and gas sector, specifically the mangrove forests. Geographic Focus. The target region of this activity is the Niger Delta. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas which traps heat and contributes to the overall warming of the planet thereby exacerbating climate change. It is the second largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide but is more than 80 times as potent in trapping heat in the atmosphere. Methane emissions must be reduced by 45 percent by 2030 to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Improved management and utilization of Nigeria’s methane emissions is crucial to mitigating Nigeria’s contribution to climate change. Nigeria is the seventh largest methane emitter in the world and the largest in Africa with 235 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2022. As Africa’s largest oil producer, Nigeria’s methane emissions come primarily from its energy sector, with additional significant contributions from its agriculture and waste sectors. Nigeria was the largest gas flarer in 2022 with 5.3 billion m3 flared amounting to $610 million of unrealized revenue which could be used to generate power for millions of Nigerians. The International Energy Agency methane tracker estimates that about 71 percent of emissions from the oil and gas sector in Nigeria can be abated, half of which can be abated at no net cost. In recent years, Nigeria has committed to better monitor, reduce, and harness methane emissions, in part by joining the Global Methane Pledge in 2021 and enacting a methane guideline for the oil and gas sector in 2022, the first African country to do so. Despite these efforts, major gaps remain in implementing methane abatement activities in the country. The Nigerian government lacks fugitive methane emission estimation capabilities and relies on oil and gas companies’ self reported flare data. Meanwhile, there are not sufficient incentives for oil and gas companies to reduce methane emissions, and the infrastructure for converting flares for captive generation remains absent. The goal of this activity is to reduce current and/or projected methane emissions in Nigeria's oil and gas sector to contribute towards attaining Nigeria’s methane pledge.

The Department of the Interiors (DOI) Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is responsible for managing energy and mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). BOEMs mission is to promote economic development and energy independence while ensuring protection of the environment. The Marine Minerals Program (MMP) within BOEM provides negotiated agreements for OCS sediment resources used in coastal restoration efforts. The MMP continues to look for better ways to serve the American people and to ensure that the nation receives the best value for its resources now and into the future. The Program provides information to support decision-making not only within the Department of the Interior, but also to coastal states and local governments to ensure the responsible use of OCS resources for coastal restoration activities.The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) Section 1346 mandates environmental and socioeconomic studies be conducted that are needed for the assessment and management of environmental impacts on the human, marine, and coastal environments which may be affected by offshore energy or other mineral development. The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), Section 1331 encourages state participation in policy and planning decisions related to OCS resources, including sand and gravel. OCSLA Section 1345 authorizes the use of cooperative agreements with affected States to meet the requirements of OCSLA, including sharing of information, joint utilization of available expertise, formation of joint monitoring arrangements to carry out applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, and stipulations relevant to outer continental shelf operations both onshore and offshore.Cooperative partnerships with states, through either a state agency or institution of higher learning, to conduct marine minerals investigations have successfully been completed since 1994

The U.S. Embassy Tirana of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit proposals for funding under the Meet the Corner program.
