Amendment 18: Final Text and Due Dates for Interdisciplinary Consortia for Astrobiology Research.

A wide array of NASA Science Mission Directorate flight missions incorporate astrobiology goals and objectives. For this reason, with C.20 Interdisciplinary Consortia for Astrobiology Research (ICAR) solicits proposals responding to both the long-term goals and objectives identified in the Astrobiology Strategy https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/research/astrobiology-at-nasa/astrobiology-strategy/ and focused on ensuring that the NASA Astrobiology community is prepared to respond to the challenge of planning and implementing these missions. Accordingly, proposals that place emphasis on research that will help prepare for current or future flight programs directed at astrobiological targets are encouraged. Proposals must describe an interdisciplinary approach to a single compelling question in astrobiology, and address at least one aspect of the current Science Strategy.

ROSES-2022 Amendment 18 releases final text and due dates for C.20 ICAR. This program element uses a two-step proposal submission process in which team members may not be added after Step-1. 6-page Step-1 proposals are due September 15, 2022, and 25-page Step-2 proposals are due January 10, 2023.

On or about May 16 2022, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2022" (NNH22ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022.

Questions concerning C.20 ICAR may be directed to Mary Voytek at Mary.A.Voytek@nasa.gov.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
