Amendment 6: C.16 LARS Step-1 proposal due date delayed

The goal of ROSES-19 C.16 Laboratory Analysis of Returned Samples is to maximize the science derived from planetary sample-return missions. Activities supported by LARS fall into two categories: (1) development of laboratory instrumentation and/or advanced techniques required for the analysis of returned samples; (2) direct analysis of samples already returned to Earth.

An IT issue prevented some organizations from accessing the NSPIRES web page Tuesday April 23, 2019, preventing the preparation and submission of proposals. To allow more time submission from those organizations that were unable to connect to NSPIRES Tuesday, the Step-1 proposal due date for LARS has been being delayed by one day to 11:59 pm April 25, 2019. The due date for Step-2 proposals is unchanged.
