  6. ROSES Statistics • ROSES is the SMD “omnibus solicitation” for competed research • ROSES generates significant “proposal traffic” • 2006: 1048 proposals from 13 elements • 2007: 1125 proposals from 22 elements • 2008: 1163 proposals from 17 elements • Significant attention is given to accelerating speed of selections - consider “time to selection” • 2006 - mean 290 days (median 228) • 2007 - mean 199 days (median 172) • 2008* - mean 129 days (median 133) • Overall success rate is changing slowly • 2006: 37%, 2007: 34%, 2008: 29% (based on completed selections) • Success rates between elements can vary enormously • Fraction proposals won by NASA/JPL PIs was 34% in 07 (last essentially complete year) but varies enormously • Have made limited use of “two-step” approach to reduce number of full proposals * Completed selections - will likely increase as ones taking longer are announced 6
