The objective of the Discovery Data Analysis Program (DDAP) is to enhance the scientific return of Discovery
Program missions by broadening the scientific participation in the analysis of data, both recent and archived, collected by Discovery missions.
It is the responsibility of the proposers to DDAP to specifically identify any needed mission data and to ascertain that those data are publically available. Proposals dealing with mission data should provide convincing evidence that the data have sufficient quality and are available in sufficient quantity to achieve the goals set forth in the proposal. The proposer should demonstrate a familiarity with the data and an understanding of the work required to refine the data for the purposes of the analysis. The DDAP supports investigations that use only data available in the Planetary Data System (PDS) or equivalent publicly accessible archive(s). The data must be archived and publicly available 30 days prior to the submission deadline for DDAP proposals. Spacecraft data that have not been placed in such archives are not eligible for use in DDAP investigations. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the DDAP investigator to acquire any necessary data. Investigators are encouraged to contact the PDS for assistance in identifying specifics of available datasets. Datasets to be used in the proposed work must be clearly and specifically identified in the proposal. Regardless of the archive(s) used, if the data to be analyzed have known issues that might represent an obstacle to analysis, the proposers must demonstrate clearly and satisfactorily how such potential difficulties will be overcome.

| A Step-1 proposal is required and must be submitted electronically by the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). No budget is required. Only proposers who submit a Step-1 proposal are eligible to submit a Step-2 proposal. Full (Step-2) proposals must broadly contain the same scientific goals proposed in the Step-1 proposal. The Principal Investigator cannot be adjusted and proposers that want to add funded investigators between the Step-1 and Step-2 proposals must inform the point(s) of contact and cc sara@nasa.gov at least two weeks in advance of the Step-2 due date. Submission of the Step-1 proposal does not obligate the proposer to submit a Step-2 (full) proposal later. |
