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:

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.
