Amendment 54: E.9-E.11 Space Biology Opportunities Not Solicited.

When it is solicited, the Space Biology Program funds research that will increase NASA’s understanding of how living systems respond to the unique environments that are encountered during space exploration, including the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment inside the International Space Station (ISS) and deep space conditions beyond LEO, including transit to and maintenance in Lunar and Martian environments. More information about the Space Biology Program can be found at: https://science.nasa.gov/biological-physical/programs/space-biology.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 54 Announces that:

  1. E.9 Space Biology: Plant Studies and E.10 Space Biology: Animal Studies are being deferred to ROSES-2024, to be released February 14, 2024.
  2. E.11 Research Pathfinder for Beyond Low Earth Orbit Space Biology Investigations will not be solicited in ROSES-2023, nor does NASA anticipate soliciting it in ROSES-2024.

On or about October 12, 2023, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2023" (NNH23ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023.

Questions concerning any of these space biology programs may be directed to Sharmila Bhattacharya at spacebiology@nasaprs.com.

A close-up of a spiral galaxy, seen face-on. Its center is a bright white point, surrounded by a large yellowish oval with thin lines of dust swirling in it. From the sides of the oval emerge two bright spiral arms which wind through the round disk of the galaxy, filled with shining pink spots where stars are forming and more dark reddish dust. Many stars are visible in the foreground, over and around the galaxy.

NASA-DOD Study: Saltwater to Widely Taint Coastal Groundwater by 2100

Intrusion of saltwater into coastal groundwater can make water there unusable, damage ecosystems, and corrode infrastructure. Seawater will infiltrate underground freshwater supplies in about three of every four coastal areas around the world by the year 2100, according to a recent study led by researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. In addition […]

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.
