Amendment 32: E.2 Biophysics Not Solicited in ROSES-2024

Protein crystals grown in space are often more well-ordered than those grown on Earth. Theory has suggested that the chemical conditions for optimal crystal growth are different in microgravity. Biofilms have been found to be growing on ISS surfaces and fluid systems, causing biofouling, corrosion, and contamination. Biofilm studies will provide important data for developing materials and methods for controlling biofilm formation to ensure that environmental control systems, water supplies, and other necessary vehicle systems function properly during long-duration space missions.

When it is solicited, the research areas of E.2 Biophysics include the following themes:

  • Biological macromolecules
  • Biomaterials and biofilms
  • Biological physics
  • Biofluids

Amendment 32 announces that E.2 Biophysics is no longer solicited in ROSES-2024.

On or about July 18 2024, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024" (NNH24ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024

Questions concerning E.2 Biophysics may be directed to Bradley M. Carpenter at bcarpenter@nasa.gov and BPS-PhysicalSciences@nasaprs.com.

In this illustration, an exploding star powers jets of material. The star is shown as an almost flower-like shape. The purple �petals� represent clouds of material created in the explosion. The bluish-white and yellow center shows where the newly formed black hole begins driving the jets. The core of the jet pointed toward us is whitish and the broader regions are magenta. In the distance, on the far side of the star, you can see the opposite side of the jet disappearing into space.

In the center is a large, oval-shaped galaxy, with a shining, ringed core. Left of its center is a second, smaller galaxy with two spiral arms. The galaxy pair is so close that they appear to be merging: a tail of material with a few glowing spots connects from one of the smaller galaxy’s spiral arms to the larger galaxy. A faint halo surrounds both galaxies. Several stars are visible around the pair.
