ROSES25: B.5 Research and Development of Initiatives for Advanced New Technologies

Research and Development of Initiatives of Advanced New Technologies (RADIANT) is a program element of the Heliophysics Division which enables the use of the full range of artificial intelligence tools to advance scientific research in understanding the Sun and its interactions with the Earth and the Solar System. This competed research component (RADIANT) program element solicits proposals that demonstrate critically needed artificial intelligence tools to advance heliophysics science research which is described in B.1 the Heliophysics Research overview. The highest priority is given to the validation and application of the recently released Helio Foundation Model (FM) which was developed over the past year as a collaboration between the Heliophysics Division (HPD) at NASA Headquarters and NASA’s Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) Office. The context of this call is guided by the Science Mission Directorate's Strategy for Data Management and Computing for Groundbreaking Science 2019-2024. RADIANT’s competed research emphasizes improved ease of use and discoverability of data that enhance science applications. It seeks to incorporate best practices and state of the art technologies utilizing deep learning, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In applying these techniques, where meaningful, RADIANT research relies on appropriate computing environments, including onboard satellites. Common requirements for all ROSES elements and proposals are found in the ROSES Summary of Solicitation and the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Manual (GCAM), and the order of precedence for proposers is the following: This document takes precedence followed by B.1 The Heliophysics Research Program Overview, the ROSES Summary of Solicitation and, finally, the GCAM.
