R -- NRA-96-MTPE-02 SOL NRA-96-MTPE-02 POC Dr. Jack A. Kaye tel: 202/358-0757 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit research proposals for science investigations to be carried out as part of the Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling and Analysis Program (ACMAP) of the Science Division of NASA's Office of Mission to Planet Earth. This NRA solicits two types of proposals: standard research proposals and new-investigator proposals, which are restricted to scientists within five years of receipt of their PH.D. ACMAP supports research in computational modeling and data analysis for studies on the trace constituent distributions of the troposphere and stratosphere, as well as dynamical properties of the stratosphere, emphasizing large regional and global scales. Component parts of ACMAP include (1) Stratospheric Dynamics and Related Data Analysis; (2) Atmospheric Chemistry Data Analysis; (3) Aerosols, Stratospheric Clouds, and Radiation; (4) Multi-Dimensional Atmospheric Modeling. New proposals, as well as renewal proposals for expiring tasks, are desired for all of these areas, although it is likely that one result of this solicitation will be to increase the complement of tropospherically-oriented research within ACMAP. This solicitation is open to all categories of organizations, foreign and domestic; however, the new-investigator proposals are restricted to employees at a university, government laboratory, or other non-profit institution in the U.S. This NRA will be available electronically on the release date, via the Internet at the Mission to Planet Earth ''Home Page'' at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/mtpe/ under ''MTPE Research Announcements'' or via anonymous ftp at ftp.hq.nasa.gov/pub/mtpe. A paper copy will be available to those who do not have access to Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message. This announcement will be open for the period from May 1, 1996, through August 1, 1996, and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout that period. (0100)
