Amendment 85: E.9 Space Biology: Research Studies Final Text and Due Dates
The research emphases of E.9 Space Biology: Research Studies falls under two broad categories: Precision Health and Space Crops. For Precision Health-focused studies, investigators may propose to use any non-primate animal model system, and any appropriate cell/tissue culture/microphysiological system/organoid or microbial models, that are supported by the chosen platform. For Space Crop-focused studies, applicants may propose to use any plant, relevant microbe, and/or plant and microbe model system(s) that is (are) supported by the chosen platform.
This opportunity includes five different Project Types: Research Investigations, Early Career Research Investigations, New NASA Investigators, OSDR Analytical Investigations, and Tissue Sharing Investigations. Specific requirements for each of these Project Types are described in detail in Section 2.2 of this program element. The Project Types have different platform requirements (i.e., flight or ground) described in Section 2.3 of the program element text.
ROSES-2024 Amendment 85 releases final text and due dates for E.9 Space Biology: Research Studies, that was previously released as draft. Plant Studies and Animal Studies will not be solicited separately; what was to have been solicited in those opportunities has been incorporated into E.9 Space Biology: Research Studies. Step-1 proposals are due February 4, 2025, and Step-2 proposals are due May 6, 2025.
A pre-proposer’s townhall for applicants interested in submitting a proposal to this program element will be held virtually on January 22, 2025, at 3 pm Eastern Time connect information will appear on the NSPIRES page for this program element under "Other Documents."
On or about December 19, 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.9 Space Biology: Research Studies may be directed to Lynn Harrison (for Precision Health) and Elison Blancaflor (for Space Crops) at nasa-spacebiology@mail.nasa.gov.
