Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP)
The ROSES 2016 Mars Data Analysis Program   Appendix C.9 notes that:
The research solicitation states:
NOTICE: Amended on April 11, 2016. This amendment delays the Step-2 due date for this program. Step-1 proposals are still due August 26, 2016, but Step-2 proposals are now due by October 28, 2016.
The objective of the Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP) is to enhance the scientific return from missions to Mars conducted by NASA and other space agencies. These include, but are not limited to, the following missions: Mars Pathfinder (MPF), Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), Mars Odyssey (MO), Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs), Mars Express (MEX), Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), Phoenix (PHX), Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) and Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN). MDAP broadens scientific participation in the analysis of mission data sets and funds high-priority areas of research that support planning for future Mars missions. MDAP supports scientific investigations of Mars using publicly available (released) data. Investigations that use data derived from other sources (e.g., ground-based radar, Hubble) will also be considered.

Other Data Within PDS
The following Discipline Nodes also have Mars information pages:
Atmospheres Node
Cartography and Imaging Sciences Node
Geosciences Node
Ancillary data (SPICE files) for Mars can be obtained from the NAIF Node
For proposals that contain mission data analysis, planetary spacecraft mission data to be used in proposed investigations must be available in the Planetary Data System (PDS) or equivalent publicly accessible archive at least 30 days prior to the proposal submission date. Spacecraft data that have not been obtained yet (i.e., future mission data) or those that have not been accepted for distribution in approved archives are not eligible for use in investigations. Regardless of the archive(s) used, if the data to be analyzed have issues that might represent an obstacle to analysis, the proposers must demonstrate clearly and satisfactorily how such potential difficulties will be overcome. Investigators funded by spacecraft missions who wish to apply must demonstrate clearly how the proposed research does not overlap and is not redundant with data analysis, duties, or responsibilities already funded by their respective mission(s). Please see Appendix C.1, The Planetary Science Division Research Program Overview, for more information.
 
This Program Element uses a two-step proposal submission process described in Appendix C.1, section 2.
 
Please note that Data Management Plans (DMPs) are mandatory for this Program Element. See Appendix C.1, section 3.5 for requirements.
