NASA ROSES 08 Checklist

Need Integrated system solutions diagram to portray/illustrate our project: http://nasascience.nasa.gov/earth*science/applied*sciences/solicitations/information*to*support*proposals

• blank diagram

Proposal summary:

• Explicitly state which of NASA 8 areas the proposal relates to (if more than 2 identify top 3)
• how does project respond to priority topic (AQ)

Decision Support:

• describe activity
• magangemt, policy, business topic or issue
• identify end users
• quantify pre*project baseline

E.S. Research Results:

• Identify all data products used.

In Tech approach:

• perceived impact of work
• objectives and relevance to NASA past/present/future
• Methodology
• Systematic approach to integrate E.S. data into DSS and to develop and test integrated system
• data sharing plan/provide evidence of past data sharing.
• Approach to quantify improvements in the system performance (risk/uncertainty)
• approach to quantify socioeconomic value and benefits for resulting improvements
• key technical, policy, operation and engagement challenges and the approach to address challenges
• describe tools, system, assessment in detail including decision analysis factors, unique roles for E.S. data and other pertinent info.

Transition Approach:

• Articulate transition plan

( GEOSS AIP, tutorials with EPA)

Performance Measures:

• Quantitative/Qualitative measures of outcome, results and value of project

other performance measures:

• forecast skill scores
• change in planning time
• change in response time (e.g. disaster response time)
• percentage of population served
• level or certainty/uncertainty in the decision support system
• false negatives/false positives
• exposure assessment time and accuracy
• control measure effectiveness

Anticipated results

• State quantitative hypothesis
• estimate expected improvements

Project Management: (2pg)

• plan of work
• Partnership arrangements
• expected contribution, roles,responsibilities of team members
• Milestones
  • For Biannual reports
  • demo/prototype needed 2x (1 proof of concept, 1 use and performance enhanced of decision*making activity)
  • Plans for delivery of project results
  • Final report

Project metrics

• Percent of tasks starting/ending as planned
• Number (or percent) of deliverables meeting quality standards
• Integration time of observations/model products into the decision support system
• Delivery time of Earth science products
• Costs for production of value-added products
• Number of iterations to verify data product integration
• Time to correct a problem
• Milestones met ahead of schedule
• Run-time for a decision support system

• Project schedule (1pg)
