A.13 Accelerating Earth Solutions (AES) seeks to accelerate the use of Earth-observing satellite measurements in decision-making.
Proposals are sought in three general areas:
On or about July 28, 2026, A. 13 AES has been corrected and clarified in a few ways: A set of slides describing the Application Readiness Levels (ARLs) has been posted under “other documents” on the NSPIRES page for this program element, text regarding ARLs has been added to a few locations in Section 2 of the text, and a row has been added to the Summary Table of Key information in Section 4.
New Text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. We anticipate posting a FAQ under “other documents” after the pre-proposal teleconference on August 31, at 1 pm Eastern Time.
Questions concerning A. 13 AES may be directed to Erin Urquhart at erin.
