NASA SMD ROSES-24 Update: Interdisciplinary Consortia for Astrobiology Research ICAR Step-2 Proposal Due Date Extended

C.20 Interdisciplinary Consortia for Astrobiology Research (ICAR) seeks proposals focused on ensuring that the NASA Astrobiology community is prepared to respond to the challenge of planning and implementing these missions.

Accordingly, proposals that place emphasis on research that will help prepare for current or future flight programs directed at astrobiological targets are encouraged. Proposals for ICAR must describe an interdisciplinary approach to a single compelling question in astrobiology, and address at least one aspect of the 2015 Astrobiology Strategy.

ROSES-2024 Amendment 91 delays the Step-2 proposal due date for C.20 ICAR to February 18, 2025. Only organizations that have already submitted a Step-1 proposal can submit a Step-2 proposal.

On or about January 8, 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 and will appear on SARA’s ROSES blog.
