NASA ROSES-24 Amendment 110: Due Dates Delayed and Other Changes to E.9 Space Biology and E.12 Physical Sciences
Space Life Science Research — Grok via Astrobiology.com

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.

E.12 Physical Sciences Research Studies solicits proposals to investigate physical phenomena in the absence of gravity and fundamental laws that describe the universe, and applied research, that contributes to the basic understanding of processes underlying space exploration technologies.

ROSES-2024 Amendment 110 makes several changes to both E.9 and E.12. This amendment delays the due dates for both E.9 and E.12. For both E.9 and E.12, Step-1 proposals are now due February 25, 2025, and Step-2 proposals are now due May 20, 2025. See the bold notice at the top of the program element(s) for a list of the other changes.

On or about January 28, 2025, 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 and will appear on SARA’s ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2024/

Questions concerning E.9 Space Biology: Research Studies may be directed to Lynn Harrison (for Precision Health) and Elison Blancaflor (for Space Crops) at [email protected].

Questions concerning E.12 Physical Sciences Research Studies may be directed to Brad Carpenter (regarding Foundations and PSI) or Mike Robinson (regarding Quantum Leaps) by writing to [email protected].
