ROSES 2022: Applications-Oriented Augmentation for Research and Analysis
Funding Agency:
- NASA
The 2017 Decadal Survey of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Decadal Strategy for Earth Observation from Space), Recommendation 4.1 stated that NASA (along with NOAA, and USGS) should reduce barriers to applied uses of remote-sensing research and seek a structured approach to accelerate the transition of scientific research into societal benefits. NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) is looking to respond to this guidance in a way that builds off the successful examples developed through the full suite of ESD activities, especially those tied to both the Research and Analysis and Applied Sciences (https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov) programs; similarly, ESD is looking to bring enhanced knowledge of users’ needs and research topic interests back to the research program. To meet this goal, these two ESD programs are collaborating to support current R&A investigators in enabling them to work across the traditional boundaries between research and applications by adding end-user and stakeholder engagement to existing work to support “research to applications” and/or “applications to research” activities. This effort is intended to develop the capacity of investigators to work with end users. R&A will provide financial support and the Applied Sciences Program will provide guidance and resources to help investigators work with end-users and direct their research towards decision making applications.
