Amendment 61: Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology SMD’s Graduate Student Research Proposals Final Text Released. Proposals due February 6, 2024.

Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST F.5) solicits proposals from accredited U.S. universities and other eligible organizations for graduate student-designed and performed research projects that contribute to Science Mission Directorate’s (SMD) science, technology, and exploration goals. The graduate student shall have the primary initiative to define the proposed FINESST research project and must be the primary author, with input or supervision from the proposal's Principal Investigator (PI) or mentor, as appropriate. The proposal must present a well-defined research problem/activity and a justification of its scientific significance to NASA. FINESST awards are research grants for up to three years and up to $50K per year.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 61 releases final text and due dates for F.5 FINESST. An optional, pre-proposal teleconference will occur on December 1, 2023, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time, see Section 12.8. Notices of Intent are not requested. Proposals are due February 6, 2024.

Researchers Develop ‘Founding Document’ on Synthetic Cell Development

Cells are the fundamental units of life, forming the variety of all living things on Earth as individual cells and multi-cellular organisms. To better understand how cells perform the essential functions of life, scientists have begun developing synthetic cells – non-living bits of cellular biochemistry wrapped in a membrane that mimic specific biological processes. The […]
