NASA’s ROSBio Appendix G Grant invites proposals for flight and ground space biology research to enhance understanding of living systems in space for human space exploration. Research priorities include microbiomes of spacecraft, plant and animal biology in the context of space exploration, as well as molecular and cellular biology. The grant supports a range of research approaches, from spaceflight experiments to ground-based studies, with funding opportunities for postdoctoral fellows, individual investigators, and PI teams. Awards can range from $70K per year for postdoctoral fellowships to $750K for ground or flight-based projects awarded to PI teams. Proposals must align with the Space Biology Science Plan 2016-2025 and Decadal Survey recommendations. US institutions can apply, collaborating with various entities except China. Deadline for submissions is Feb 8, 2018.

Research Opportunities in Space Biology (ROSBio) – 2016 “Appendix G: Solicitation of Proposals for Flight and Ground Space Biology Research” NNH16ZTT001N-FGThis Appendix to the Research Opportunities in Space Biology (ROSBio) – 2016 NASA Omnibus Research Announcement (hereafter referred to as ROSBio-2016 Omnibus NRA) solicits proposals that will increase NASA’s understanding of how living systems acclimate to spaceflight to support human space exploration.The solicited research will fall into into the following four research emphases:1. Microbiomes of the Built Environment (MoBE) of Spacecraft; 2. Plant Biology to support Human Space Exploration; 3. Animal Biology in support of Human Space Exploration; 4. Molecular and Cellular Biology. Proposals submitted in response to this Appendix may include the following characteristics, based on the award type (please see the solicitaiton for descriptions of specific award types):1) Spaceflight experiments using ISS or non-ISS flights (suborbital, parabolic flight, stratospheric balloons, etc.) to test, develop, or refine flight hypotheses;2) Ground-based experiments conducted in non-NASA or NASA laboratories, including drop tower facilities, and/or specialized centrifuge facilities to study gravity as a continuum;3) Individual PIs or PI teams;4) New Space Biology investigations, to allow established investigators pilot funds to test new hypotheses, or early career PIs (either existing Space Biology PIs or investigators new to Space Biology) to collect data that will allow them to develop new hypotheses to test on ISS;5) Postdoctoral fellows who wish to develop a career in Space Biology research;6) Investigators who wish to develop new experimental hypotheses based on data in the open science GeneLab database for space life science researchProposals must address Space Biology research emphases, visions, and goals identified in the ROSBio-2016 Omnibus NRA or in the Space Biology Science Plan 2016-2025, and/or recommendations from the Decadal Survey.Awards from this solicitation will range from $ 70 K per year, for two years for postdoctoral fellowship awards, to up to $750 K total for ground and/or flight-based projects awarded to PI teams.Appendix G can be found by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings “Solicitations” to “Open Solicitations” or at https://tinyurl.com/ROSBio-FG.
